This adorable little lady is Maya! She is 9 years old and weights about 9 pounds. She is a calm, quiet and gentle soul who loves being outside and going for walks. Winter weather has shortened walks recently but Maya still likes going outside every day she can for at least a stroll in the year. She is friendly with everyone we have met and gets along with our dogs nicely. She doesn’t play much, however she will join in a game of chase sometimes, or find a bone to chew on. Though she can be content just watching the action too. Another of her favorite activities is snuggling in soft blankets. She can often be found curled up on a blanket or a big pillow! She is so cute all snuggled and cozy! She also likes napping in a sunny stop.Maya is free in our home with only an occasional ‘accident’, but has learned the proper place for doing business is when she is outside. We take her out several times a day. At night Mayas preferred place to sleep is in her bed, on an ottoman beside our bed. Once she settles in she usually sleeps until morning, making little snores that are as adorable as she is! Commands are a work in progress. We are tackling the basics, which sometimes she does okey and others she just grunts and looks at us like we are being ridiculous! Maya is a very friendly, curious, and silly little girl, and will be a joy to her new family!
Maya is staying with Tammy in Bloomsburg, PA.

KEEP THESE FACTS IN MIND: 1. Yorkies do not usually get along well with small children and can be injured by small children, even ones who love them. Be aware of this and keep them apart. 2. Yorkies can be very difficult (nearly impossible) to housebreak. If you are gone for more than 3 hours at a time, the dog will have to have access to wee wee pads, or need someone to stop in to let him out to potty. 3. We almost NEVER get a puppy (less than one year old) in Yorkie Rescue. If only a puppy will do, check the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America website for a recommended breeder - never buy over the Internet, or from a newspaper ad or a petstore. The heartache you save will be immeasureable. 4. There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie, so don't be misled by such a description. LEARN about the breed BEFORE you decide to adopt. 5. You will need to make arrangements to drive and meet the dog at the foster home which can be in New Jersey, western PA, Maryland, etc. The dog's biography lists where the dog is fostering. We want you to meet the dog with your family and your dog, if you have one. This is a requirement for adoption.
WHAT IS THE ADOPTION FEE? Adoption donations generally vary from dog to dog, it depends on the health, the age and the size of the dog.
Young Yorkies will have a higher adoption donation since they are the most highly sought after and they help to cover the costs of the older dogs who have a harder time finding a loving home. It is sad but true that people overwhelming demand very young dogs when they would be infinitely happier with a mellow adult.
ADOPTION AREA
Save A Yorkie Rescue prefers to adopt only in the PA, NJ, western NY, DE, MD, VA, some CT area's. If you are in the NYC area or near Long Island, there is a Yorkie Rescue closer to you.
Be aware that you will be asked to drive to meet and pick up your dog.
