Tonka is available for adoption.

He is 8 years old and weighs 9 lbs.

His adoption fee is $350.00.

Tonka is all dressed in his new holiday sweater ... hoping for Santa to bring him a new home for Christmas!  

Tonka is a lovely adult gentleman, who is estimated to be 8-10 years old.
He weighs a healthy 9 pounds ... and is tall, lean and muscular!

Tonka has had a tough time ... he was originally found as a stray on the streets of Philadelphia,
and was adopted three years ago.  
His adoptive family developed some health issues and could no longer take care of him,
so he was surrendered into rescue.

Tonka is quiet and well mannered.  He loves belly rubs and  to go for walks!
A fenced yard would be terrific for him!
He is housebroken, as long as he is taken outside to do his business, in the yard or on walks, several times a day.

He's a bit of an independent soul ... he will cuddle with you for a while, loving the pets and scritches ...
but when he's ready to have some alone time, he will curl up on the couch or chair, all by himself,
as long as you are nearby.

Will you grant his wish and give him a new forever home for 2016?

Tonka is vacationing in Marlton, NJ with Kathy, Leo and Teddy.

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. 

 

 ADOPTION AREA

Save A Yorkie Rescue prefers to adopt only in the PA, NJ, western NY, DE, MD, VA, some CT area's. If you are in the NYC area or near Long Island, there is a Yorkie Rescue closer to you. 

Be aware that you will be asked to drive to meet and pick up your dog.
