Blind Tommy stood on the seat of the car and 'looked' out the window.  He used to do that all the time - when he had a home and his family took him for a car ride. He loved those rides more than anything. He still does but he doesn't have a family of his own any more.

Like so many, Tommy's family couldn't deal with an old dog, whose eye sight was going. They figured someone else would do what had to be done.  Someone would take him in... but no one asked Tommy where he would prefer to live.

Few people will read this once they see that he is a senior. And fewer still will continue once they see he is blind. But WE know there are a tiny group of dog lovers who love the old dogs as much as we do. AND some of them know that a blind dog really doesn't care about seeing so much since his nose tells him far more than his eyes ever could.  So this is to YOU - you wonderful, caring few who give the old dogs a place to be for the time they have left - THANK YOU!

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.
