couldn't stay in his own home due to a move by the military

Riley is brand new to rescue.

His world has crumbled, he has lost everything and everyone he has ever known. He is devastated right now and literally crying with grief. We are working to soothe him knowing he is very upset. 

Riley has lived with several other big dogs and did fine with them. He is a sturdy 12 pound boy and can handle himself.  He isn't sure about puppies who are bouncy and frenetic - getting in his face. He prefers a quieter type of dog.

He loves stuffed animals and carries them with him around the house. He gets along with cats they say.  He loves attention and would love to be the center of your world. 
In fact he will stand up to be picked up if he feels you are not doing your job of loving on him.

Riley is a darling boy and would be a great dog for a family. Riley really wants a home where he will get the attention he craves.
He is vacationing in Silver Spring, MD with Sarah. Please put in your application if you have experience with a small dog, have your own home and are in our area...

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.
