Let me tell you a story that applies here...

Have you heard of Greyfriar's Bobby? Bobby was a Skye Terrier belonging to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a night watchman, and the two were inseparable for years. On February 8, 1858, Gray died of tuberculosis. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby, who survived Gray by fourteen years, spent the rest of his life lying on his master's grave. He lived on that grave, night and day, winter and summer - for 14 years. Talk about devotion.

Well, Finnegan is a Yorkie - a breed related to the Skye Terrier and he had the same devoted nature. He was found lying next to his master, waiting for him to wake up. That's where they found Finnegan - cuddled next to the only person he loved.

Finnegan and his buddy, a cat, were taken to a shelter - there was nothing else that could be done. Finnegan is with us now. We will care for him, comfort him, love him and wait for you to call.

Everyone should have something that loves them as much as Finnegan loved his guardian. 

With a bath, a visit to the vet, some sprucing up and loving care, Finnegan will recover - at least his body will be whole. His spirit is what we worry about most.  He needs someone to look out for, to wait for, to love unconditionally.

Finnegan is recovering with Jenn in Marlton, NJ.  God bless him!

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.
