Ohia Mia is available for adoption

She is 6 years old and weighs 3 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $300.00.

Little Mia was seen by a surgeon at Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialists this week. She was diagnosed with Microvascular dysplasia.  Her liver is unable to rid or process toxins without the help of medication.  She is not a candidate for surgery to correct this problem. However, with medications and a low protein diet she will live a normal life.  Her sight issues are not related to this diagnosis.  She does see large objects and shadows.  Mia navigates around the house and yard unbelievably!  She doesn't let this stop her. She is housebroken and goes to the door and whimpers when it's time to potty.  Gets along great with other dogs but isn't fond of cats.  Sleeps peacefully in her crate at night and is genuinely a good little girl.  She weighs just three lbs but has a great appetite. This beautiful little girl is ready for her furever home! 

Ohia Mia is vacationing in Erie, PA, with Lisa.

Many, many thanks go out to the wonderful people that Sponsored Ohia Mia:

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.
