Rio is available for adoption.  

He is 4 years old and weighs 7 lbs.

His adoption fee is $450.00.

Rio is full of energy. Loves to go for long walks and play fetch. He will carry a ball around in his mouth asking for you to play with him. Loves tug of war as well.  He likes other dogs too but is more interested in the people in my house than his foster sister.  Rio is a romantic! He greeted his foster family with kisses immediately. He rides great in the car.  

Rio loves to be active: whether it's walking, running, playing fetch or tug of war, he is usually on the move. He follows his foster mom throughout the house unless the wooden door is open.. Then he will lay at the glass door and watch the walkers, birds, etc. He is really good about playing by himself if his foster family is occupied. He will run around with a ball in his mouth tossing it for himself. He's quite the character!

Rio is looking for an active family who will give him the exercise he desires. He would love to accompany you on any adventure!

He's a happy boy with a constantly wagging tail.  He will be great in a home with someone who has the desire to play and walk with him!

Rio does need a fenced yard because he is a zoomer.  Please keep that in mind. 

Rio is vacationing in Emmaus, PA, with Jill and her family.

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.
