Handsome Prince is available for adoption.

He is 2 years old and weighs 14 lbs.

His adoption fee is $850.00.

Handsome Prince is a two-year old, 15 pound, very friendly pup.

He enjoys meeting new people with an energetic tail wag and a great “come-pet-me” look. He is wary of strange dogs on a walk but tends to hide rather than make a fuss.

Prince walks well on his leash and loves to run around in his fenced-in yard. He sometimes needs to be coaxed back in with the promise of a treat. (As he is a puppy, his adoptive family must have a fenced yard.) 

He thoroughly enjoys his toys…squeaky, crinkly, NylaBone-ish….it doesn’t matter. He likes to pick up two at a time and carry them around. He will race around the house chasing our female adoptee if she has a toy that Prince wants…but he will not challenge our male adoptee who is half Prince’s size.

Handsome Prince is house-trained but also knows how to use pee-pads when necessary.

Apparently, he loves music and will jump up on the piano bench when his human sits down to play.

He eats well, sleeps quietly through the night in his little enclosure, and waits patiently for his humans to let him out for his first morning trip to the yard. 

Prince may not be good with children who may not respect his boundaries. He will give a warning if awakened unexpectedly or an attempt to physically move him when he doesn’t want to move.

He rides well in the car. When we travel with all three dogs, we like to crate Prince to avoid shenanigans while we drive. Once in his crate, he immediately lays down and remains quiet, even during multi-hour trips.

He likes to be brushed, but doesn’t realize that rolling on his back doesn’t really help.

Prince doesn’t seem to care about thunder or fireworks, staying calm throughout the noise.

Handsome Prince is staying with Mary Anne and Michael in New Canaan, CT.

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.
