Gypsy was adopted on 3/11/05 by Shirley Shuster.This is Gypsy Girl here. I'm kinda new to this rescue thing. I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself. I am only 6 years old and there are only 13 tiny pounds of me. I don't really look a pound over 10..hee hee. I figure its just more of me to love, especially on cold winter nights. I am livin right now here in the Poconos and found two new friends....Yorkies just like me!! They are nice, too. They share their water bowl, their toys, and even their treat balls......one even laughs when you roll it. I would like to live someplace where someone is home with me all day because I get very lonely. I don't mind sharing my new home with another furry friend either. I love to go for car rides, and walks, too. I am getting the potty thing down real good. I haven't messed in the house because there are always trips outside. I get a treat when I do go potty outside and I am always the first one out the door. A fenced yard would be perfect to protect me. Did I mention I like cats, too? My teeth are P-E-R-F-E-C-T, pearly white. I don't know about kids yet. There aren't too many around these parts, but when we see some I'll let you know.KEEP THESE FACTS IN MIND: 1. Yorkies do not get along well with small children. 2. Yorkies are nearly impossible to housebreak so you can see that Gypsy is special because she is doing so well with housebreaking. 3. You will NOT find a puppy in Yorkie Rescue and we consider a dog up to 3 years old to be a puppy. 4. It is rare for us to get a FEMALE into rescue so Gypsy is really special. 5. There is no such thing as a tea cup Yorkie so don't be misled by such a description. 6. Senior Citizens get preferred treatment. LEARN about the breed BEFORE you adopt. Steps to adopt a Yorkie from Save A Yorkie Rescue:1. Go to: www.SaveAYorkieRescue.org 2. Click on the line that says "Click here for an application" or Jean will mail you an application if you call 610-678-0918. 3. We will call you to let you know we receive your application and to chat about the dog you are interested in adopting. 4. A Home Visit MUST be done. This takes the longest but is REQUIRED. So the sooner you submit your application, and get your home visit done, the sooner you can adopt a Yorkie.Adoption donations range from $150-$450 depending on the health, age and size of the dog. We prefer homes in the southeastern PA area.

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.
