Tortellini is available for adoption.

She is 6 years old and weighs 6 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $800.00.

Tortellini is a 6 yr old 6 pound little girl who is recovering from surgery after being hit by a car while she was a stray. The vets say she will be 100% when she’s all healed but part of her jaw may be missing. She is underweight at the moment but starting to put it back on now that she is getting proper nutrition (and all the love she can take)! 

She is on anti-seizure medication as well as prescription food (canned I/D only until mid-June)

Amazingly, she is pee-pad trained with only a couple of accidents over the few days we’ve had her. 

She appears to walk well on a leash, but she’s restricted to the back yard for now due to her vaccination status. Once we walk in the park we will know more about her leash etiquette and her socialization with humans and other dogs she might meet out there. 

She will be introduced to the rest of our little pack at home once all her vaccines are effective. At that time we will assess her demeanor with other dogs more fully. 

She has a full tail that she loves to wave at her humans. There appears to be a little separation anxiety right now which we’ll work on. Also, she is an amazing jumper so care must be taken when she’s left alone behind a baby gate. Also, there is nothing she likes better than a human lap and will immediately hop in if one becomes available. Tortellini will be available for adoption mid to late June.

Tortellini is staying with Maryann 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.
