This adorable little lady is Maya! She is 10 years old and weights about 7.5 pounds. She is a calm, quiet and gentle soul who loves being outside and going for walks. She is friendly with everyone we have met and gets along with our dogs nicely. She doesn’t play much, however she will join in a game of chase at times, though she can be content just watching the action too. Another of her favorite activities is snuggling in soft blankets. She can often be found curled up on a blanket or a big pillow. She also likes lounging in a sunny spot. Maya is free in our home with only an occasional ‘accident’, but has learned the proper place for doing business is outside. We take her out several times a day. At night Maya prefers to sleep is in her bed, on an ottoman beside our bed. Once she settles in she usually sleeps until morning, making little snores that are as adorable as she is! Commands are a work in progress. She has the basics down- stop, come and quiet. Sometimes she does well and others she just looks at us like we are being ridiculous! Maya has recently been diagnosed with PLE or protein loosing enteropathy, which is being managed with a special low fat food. Maya is a very friendly, curious, and silly little girl, and will be a joy to her forever family!
Maya is staying with Tammy in Bloomsburg, 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.
