What a baby doll! Found running along a highway, cold, wet, scared - Vinnie was saved by a nice family. They knew we would know best how to care for Vinnie but they cried when he left. He is SOOOOOO tiny! Just 3.10 skinny pounds! He is neutered and up to date on shots.He has learned to sit - what a smart little guy. He gets along great with other small dogs. He loves to play - he even loves the cat, he is a real cuddler. Loves to be held, lay his head on your shoulder. He gives puppy sighs!!!He is just so fragile!!! NO CHILDREN!!! He wouldn't bite BUT he can be hurt so easily. He is so sweet. So young. So cute. He won't be in rescue long. His right eye was damaged as a puppy and he cannot see out of it but it is no problem for him. He sees just fine with the left. His adoption donation is $450.He is located in Reading, PA (ps he is so cute and wants to play, play play)

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.
