Bijou! NOW - isn't that a kick of a name?!  Yeah we liked it too.

Bijou was found wandering around a rest stop 11 months ago in Franklin Lakes, NJ.  The couple that found her waited around for 3 hours hoping her owners would come back for her but they never did. 

They fell in love with Bijou and kept putting off find her a "forever" home but now, with all the travelling for work, they want to find her a better home - with someone who is home a lot since she seems to go into a depression when left alone for long hours. 

Bijou gets along great with other yorkies, cats and even some children BUT NOT MEN!

The best home for her would be one with at least one other dog to play with and people who are only away for short periods at a time. 

She travels well in a car, is wee wee pad trained, and crate trained but she prefers her bed to be in the same room as you when it's time watch tv or go to bed for the night.  If you are looking for that little pup that you can take everywhere, then Bijou is for you.

She is a sweet girl, and very small - about 4 lbs. 

She is vacationing on Long Island. Put your application in now and then call about Bijou!

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.
