He's the little one. A gentle soul who would love to be on your lap and cuddle in the sun.
He was given up because they didn't have time for him. Do YOU have time? He is so tiny and needs so little. We aren't asking for walks every day or lots of training. He will be forgiving if you look a fright in the morning or forget where you put your keys.
This is just a little man who is looking to settle. He is way out in Pittsburgh, PA.
A very sweet little older guy who just wants to be loved and fed! He knows to potty outside, gets along with his "sisters", all five of them! He follows people everywhere.
Seems like he can't get enough attention. He's very thin and needs to add a pound to his little body - then he'll be just right. He is quite a chow hound and has been eating like a champ. He gets up on the couch! Anyone would be lucky to have this little gem at their side!
If you have been looking for a Yorkie to show off, here he is. Read his bio then call his favorite person - Vera. She'll answer your questions.

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.
