Well you really screwed up, didn't you? You didn't put your application in for this little guy and BOY did YOU miss out on the best little puppy!!! The volunteer who picked Dandy up and drove him to the vet couldn't say enough about how cute, sweet, loving and calm Dandy was, even with a broken leg.

Dandy is healthy, active, smart and loving. Everything you want in a dog. Yes his leg is broken but that isn't permanent. Give him a few weeks to get that healed and he'll be out there running with the best of them. It wasn't his fault people let a child dangle him from the second floor landing. He survived the fall. Now he has had the leg repaired. He goes in for his neuter and a follow up x ray this Wednesday. He could go to his new home this weekend. You really are missing out on one of the sweetest, nicest puppies we have had in a very long time. Why not call and tell his foster mom that you realize you goofed. You really do want the prettiest little puppy.

Why don't we adopt to families with small children? Because of dogs like Dandy. This little puppy was taken to a second floor landing by a 3 year old child. She pushed Dandy through the spindles of the railing and let go to see if he could fly. He couldn't. But he survived. He has a badly broken leg. Surgery has been done twice and we are confident that he will run like a deer when he is healed. He is just a little guy and very young. Put your application in if you have time to work with him and time to allow him to work on learning to use it again. And no children!!!

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.
