Nugget is available for adoption. 

He is 7 years old and weighs 9 lbs.

His adoption fee is $650.00.

Meet Nugget, a 7-year-old, 9 lb. Yorkie who is eager to find his forever home! Nugget was surrendered by his previous owner through no fault of his own and has been lovingly cared for, so he’s already well-versed in house manners. He responds to his name and is a very sweet, well-behaved boy.

Nugget is crate trained and does well when left alone for a couple of hours, often snoozing peacefully.  While he’s not that playful, Nugget does enjoy his daily walks and does very well on the leash. He’s doing well on his potty breaks, but has experienced a little regression which is common in his foster home since his whole life has been turned upside down. Nugget is a quick learner and needs to get back into a structured routine which his foster parents are working on.

Used to being the only dog, Nugget is perfectly content with other calm dogs who aren’t interested in playing.  Nugget loves to relax perched on top of the couch, watching the world go by in the yard, and he’s also great on car rides.

In great health and up to date on vaccines, Nugget is ready to become your calm and loving companion. If you’re looking for a laid-back, sweet housemate, Nugget might just be the perfect fit!

Nugget is staying with Matthew and Sarah in Reading, 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.
