This is Candace… she goes by Candi. She is a “young” 9 year old female and weighs 14 lbs. She was surrendered by her owner through no fault of her own. She has been with our rescue since the end of May and has settled in quite nicely with my other 2 yorkies. She is fully house trained (once she trains you!), has a good appetite (loves treats) and sleeps through the night.
Candi is well behaved and very loving. All she wants is to be by your side. Candi likes to lay by your feet but does jump up on the couch for snuggles. She loves to meet people, kids and their pets. Candi doesn’t play with toys but loves a bully stick to chew on. She is used to being in a fenced yard but since she’s been with us she enjoys walks around the community and checking out all the different smells. Normally Candi is not a barker unless she is excited. Usually when I’m getting her food ready or she knows we’re going for a walk or a car ride, or when she has to go potty. Otherwise, you won’t hear a peep out of her. Candi is good with baths and the groomer. She doesn’t mind being dressed up (if that is your thing). She does get lonely if she’s alone for extended periods of time.
Candi is very healthy but does require insulin for her diabetes. She has pretty much a full mouth of pearly white teeth and doesn’t mind getting them brushed!
Candi is always smiling, always happy and is truly a sweet little girl. All she wants is a family that will love her for the rest of her life.
Candace is staying with Deb in Phoenixville, PA.

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.
