Handsome Prince is available for adoption.

He is almost 3 years old and weighs 16 lbs.

His adoption fee is $850.00.

Handsome Prince is almost 3 years old. At 16 pounds, he is a lot of puppy to love.  And a lover he is.  If you lay on the couch to watch TV, he is in your lap.  If you sit in a chair, he is right there with his head on your leg waiting for a little loving.

Prince is a great night-time sleeper. He currently sleeps quietly in a doggie enclosure on the floor, but we are sure that he would enjoy sleeping in the big bed with his people (and his other rescue companions). We just don't want to spoil him yet.
Meal-times are easy.  Put his food down and his face is in it 'till it's gone. He respects the other pups' dishes until they are done.
Toy time is "always". If he passes a toy box without dipping his head into it we would be worried.  But gratefully, that has never happened.  He will try to take a toy away from our girl rescue (Vittoria), but never from the boy rescue (Luca). 
We have tried a new game of "Catch" which he loves.  Make him SIT, then toss a toy to him and see if he catches it mid-air.  OK, so not perfect yet...but we're on the way.
He loves treats when he comes in from a romp in the back yard and sits quietly while all three pups get theirs in turn.
We think Prince will be OK as an only dog (he loves his humans)...or sharing a household with other pups (he loves to chase our girl dog around).  Probably can't go wrong either way.
He loves to sit on the top of any available couch...especially if it has a view of the outdoors.
Prince may not be good with children who may not respect his boundaries. He will give a warning if awakened unexpectedly or if an attempt is made to physically move him when he doesn’t want to move.
He is OK with loud noises such as thunder or fireworks.

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.
