One day. That's all. ONE day. Georgie was scheduled to die within 24 hours because the shelter had no room. His owner was evicted and the dog ended up on death row. He only had one day to make a good impression that would save him.

It was so close... it was scary. Fortunately for Georgie we had room. A wonderful foster family agreed to help. Without them, Georgie would be one more dead dog on a pile of bodies in a barrel. The room where death is the final solution was beckoning.

But enough of that... Georgie was just neutered and shaved. His glorious hair will grow back and this wonderful young dog will learn to love and trust again. He is so young, so scared, but very sweet.

Georgie is vacationing near Glassboro, NJ with Andrea and Vic. God bless them for being there when we called. Without their "YES!"  Georgie would be just one more statistic, one of the millions who are killed every year because there is no room.  FOSTER HOMES!  We need you so much. Please consider offering to foster. You could help another dog like Georgie.

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.
