About our Yorkies!
Where do our dogs come from?Most of our dogs come from ordinary people who can no longer care for their Yorkie for whatever reason.
Or occasionally local animal shelters that consider rescue organizations like ours a "last resort" call us to take the Yorkies no one else will consider adopting. These dogs are sometimes blind, elderly, diabetic or in some way require special care. Next step: one of our foster homes.The next step for rescued Yorkies is a foster home. Save A Yorkie places them in foster homes at until we can find them a permanent home through adoption. Because we have already placed them in a home environment with one of our foster volunteers, we can tell you a little about the dogs habits and house manners -- something you will not know if you adopt from a shelter or kennel. Will the dog visit the vet before I adopt it?Our dogs are vetted before being placed. This includes a physical examination, spay/neuter, heartworm test, deworming and vaccinations. The dogs are bathed and groomed. At times we may rescue a dog which has severe hair loss, a broken leg, is heartworm positive, or has another serious problem. You will receive all the vetting information that we have. We make sure the dog receives proper veterinary care before it is available for adoption. If you adopt from Save A Yorkie, you will have all of the information we have about the dog. Can I make a donation or sponsor a dog without adopting?YES!!! YES!!! Anyone can make a donation or sponsor a dog without any commitment to adopt or foster a dog. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and all donations are tax deductible. We provide a receipt for your tax records.
