Duncan Pumpkin has been in the wrong place for a long time. His owner just did not understand him and the home was in chaos - divorce, tiny children running around, left alone, no training, no understanding... a mismatch in every way.

So Duncan came to rescue and we are letting him settle in.

He's a small guy weighing in at only 4.7 pounds but little Duncan has a lot of love to give.

Despite being misunderstood for such a long time, he is truly a wonderful dog who just needed some guidance. He enjoys his walks outside and exploring the backyard with his foster siblings.

He knows how to sit and lie down and is working on a backwards somersault...

Duncan will need an experienced Yorkie owner who will be the leader this time around so he can learn to relax and be the sweet little dog he really is.

Although he is a little shy and insecure at first, once he warms up and learns to trust you, you've got a friend for life.

He loves to sleep in bed and is such a cuddler!

Because of his insecurities and shyness, a quiet home would be best. NO children as they make him very nervous. He is okay in a crate and is potty trained. Duncan is showing interest in toys despite us being told differently and gets along fine with his foster siblings who are other calm, more submissive dogs.

He is healthy and small but has an attitude - for good reason.

Duncan definitely needs an experienced Yorkie owner, someone who is confident in their manner. Someone who has had a Yorkie before and understands that Yorkies are terriers, determined, assertive, bossy. If you are not the person in charge, Duncan will know and he will be scared again.

Duncan is vacationing with Lindsay in Sewell, NJ. Call for information. Put your application in now. He won't be in rescue long.

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.
