We picked up Madi the evening of August 15.

Madi is a friendly loving female Yorkie puppy.  She is quiet, we are not sure she barks yet or at all as we have not heard her chime in with out Zoee.

Madi travels in the car like a charm.

Madi is not house trained or at least fully house trained; she has had several mistakes.  She appears intelligent and very well trainable using reward treats; she clearly understands immediate motivation.  

She has been sleeping in a crate with us the last two nights.  Last night she was crated in our room and slept the night till our dog Zoee jumped down from bed and woke her up at 6:45 AM.  We brought her outside and she took care of some business right away but it was 40 minutes later of walking did she take care of her other business.  In today’s late morning walk she did much better and expected her reward.   She had been recently used to being able to run in a fenced in yard and apparently got spoiled.  She has a lot of energy and she needs to walk and play it off.

We are working on her learning “sit”  at this time.  She does not appear to respond to any standard commands.  We were told she responded to a few commands.  This might change as she gets more comfortable though she already feels pretty comfortable if you ask us.

She is not well trained for walking on a leash at this time.  She is getting better quickly as I can see rapid improvement.  She is getting used to walking the berm and not pulling.  Time needs to be spent with her and it should be time well spent as she is such a charmer.  

She is easy going an plays with our two year old Yorkie-chon Zoee.  Last night she joined us in our evening soccer game and played with Zoee and the small ball we pass around.

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.
