Daphne is available for adoption.

She is 1.6 years old and weighs 7 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $1,100.00.

Daphne is a small but mighty bundle of love, ready to find a family who will give her the care and patience she deserves. At around 2-3 years old and just 9 pounds- thankfully she has put on some weight! Daphne is a gentle soul who has clearly been through a lot. Despite her past, she is full of love and eager to bond with her person.

When Daphne first arrived, she was shy, unsure of toys, and struggled with sharing affection. She has separation anxiety and needs a home where someone is around most of the time. Daphne requires a gentle and patient adopter who will take the time to let her feel safe and build trust.

After just a week, Daphne has made incredible progress. She now loves to play with her foster brother and sister and enjoys a good mix of play, snuggles, and rest. She’s also becoming more comfortable with grooming—she recently let me brush out her knots, which was a big step!

Daphne is smart and eager to learn. She is doing well with potty training, even using the dog bell to go outside. She handled her first vet visit beautifully, showing no signs of aggression or anxiety, even during her blood draw.

We believe Daphne would thrive in a home where she is either the only dog or with one other dog who enjoys a balanced life of play, cuddles, and calm. She would do best with someone who works from home or a family that can provide the stability and love she needs.

Daphne is truly a special dog with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will be your little shadow, Daphne is the perfect match. Let’s find this sweet girl the forever home she deserves!

Daphne is staying with Tamara and Isabella in Lancaster, 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.
