Please understand. There is ONLY ONE of Hercules. He can only go to ONE home.

If you want to SAVE a dog, consider one of the others on our website. Give the adults a chance. Please. People will be fighting over this dear little one. But the others are waiting for a good home too. You won't be sorry if you check out the other Yorkies on our site.

Hercules is perfect! Yes just 7 months old and all we have to do is neuter him and he will be ready to come home.

He is tiny - so no big dogs or children. And don't think for ONE minute you are going to put him in a purse and prance around. He has 4 good legs and we want him to use them - a lot!  He is sweet, loving and smart. Adorable but not housetrained. He is just a baby you know.

He needs obedience classes and that is mandatory. Be sure you will be able to take him.

If you work away from home for many hours a day - don't look at Hercules. He needs more attention than that.

He needs lots of activity and lots of basic training. But what you end up with is a well trained gorgeous, loving tiny Yorkie for the next 18 years. He's worth it. He's wonderful.

He is vacationing in Hamburg, PA (near Reading, PA) with his Aunt Malinda. Call her AFTER you put your application in. AND remember - we will be swamped with calls for him and he can only go to one home. Consider one of the other dogs, especially if you are a couch potato. They'll let you snuggle and watch TV.  Thank you.

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.
