Linus doesn't have a blankie like Charlie Brown's friend - he is just a puppy - 18 months, approximately - but he sure needs someone to give him a hug. He weighs just 10 lbs. Linus is a delightful mix - definitely Yorkie with maybe a tad of Jack Russell or Brussels Griffon - such a pretty guy. He has beautiful white teeth! He is very playful and loves to play with a rubber ball and will keep dropping it at your feet to get you to play with him. Linus is great with other dogs - not aggressive or fearful. This one will definitely need some obedience training - he's just a puppy! He knows a few commands but will appreciate obedience classes. He is affectionate and will jump right into your lap. He is so friendly to everyone. He is new yet but learning to fit in with his foster mom. Put in your application ONLY if you will be taking him to obedience classes. Then get ready - get set - go play BALL!

One last request: Don't apply if you are not truly committed with all your heart to adopting a dog. If your family situation isn't stable, if you may be moving, getting divorced, aren't well, aren't sure, or have any reservations at all, wait. It takes a week to process your application and if you can't hold on that long, we can't help you. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
