Hi there, Pretty Lady! Checking out the Yorkies again? Yes we know.  You come here quite often. Just to look.  

Well, come on in - look us over... check out our newest little lamb. Vinny Van Go!

He's just what so many people are looking for in a Yorkie - small, young, handsome. He has had a very difficult beginning.  Born in a mill, shipped to a petstore, he was purchased by irresponsible people. No, they didn't take care of him, they didn't neuter him, leaving him frustrated and confused because the hormones scream one thing and his beloved people demanding the opposite.  What's a little dog to do? 

Then - "All the Bad Happened"  His people put him on Craigslist to give him away!!!!  Can you believe this darling little dog was dangled in front of the crazy world, and given away to anyone who would take him!!  Someone just as irresponsible took him home.  Poor Vinny - from the frying pan, into the fire.  Luckily - they didn't have time for Vinny either. Off to Florida went one and the call came from the other - "Come TODAY or the dog dies!" So today we flew to his rescue and Vinny is delivered!

Oh- how thirsty he was! Two-bowls-of-water thirsty!  Dirty, covered in poop, scared, and skinny he WAS.  

Warm, well fed, freshly bathed he IS. Smiling in his sleep, nestled in his own bed he is enjoying the first day of the rest of his life. 

All the Good is happening now.  Vinny prefers a very quiet home and he would like to be the ONLY dog in your home.

Near Allentown with Melissa and her crew of happy campers.  Life begins anew. Lucky Vinny. Put your application in for Vinny and watch him blossom!

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.
