Nikki is new!  A little sweetie.  He loves people very much and would love to cuddle on your lap, give you kisses and be your best boy.

He is good with cats(loves their litter box treats so be aware), dogs (he was raised with Great Danes) and people (especially people!). No bad dog here - unless you ignore him for hours. If he gets bored - then he makes his own fun - he learned how to re-decorate the garage in his spare time.

Nikki is used to being with someone all the time. But circumstances have changed and his mom had to go back to work. She wants the very best for her little Yorkie.

He sleeps in her bed, walks nice on a leash and rides happily in a car.  What more could you ask for?  He is young and wants lots of attention! If you work all day - please don't apply for Nikki. We want someone who is home, who has the time and can let him out often. He just hates being left alone.

Nikki does take a very inexpensive medication - phenobarbital for a seizure disorder. Two pills every night and that's that. No problem at all.

We hope to find someone who is active and will walk him often, love him abundantly, feed him sparingly and understand him always.

He is vacationing up near Erie, PA with his foster mom - Lenore. If you have the time, we have the dog. Nikki is his name and you would be lucky to take him home.

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.
