Got FOOD?!  Ernie's interested. He LOVES food! He's IN Love with food. So he is motivated to get a reward. You can teach him to play Beethoven if you have food.

That's Ernie on the chair - see his little self? next to Paul - his hero.

Ernie came from a family who decided that neutering wasn't important - and lived to rue that decision. Neutering is VERY important. For a bazillion reasons but most important it is for the dog's health. You neuter a dog to make your dog healthy, happy and content. So Ernie is a 'good' boy and his personality is really beginning to shine now.

Ernie is learning that he isn't the boss, that the people ARE the boss but they are kind and wise. He is doing very well. He has no problem with other dogs and he loves to get out and explore.

Ernie is a lovely boy who is vacationing near Lancaster, PA with Paul whom he loves, and Rita who brings food!  If you are an experienced dog owner, particularly a Yorkie owner who won't be pushed around by a very determined little dog,  won't lose your temper when he thinks he should be boss... this little guy will let you give belly rubs - while he smiles and dreams of cookies... lots of cookies, spinning in his dreams... yum...

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.
