Say "Hello!" to Gizmo!

He was a much loved Yorkie boy - loved, yes but no one spent time making him aware of how to be a good dog (you know what Cesar Milan says - exercise, discipline and love in equal parts.. )Gizmo didn't get to go for walks on a leash - he had a fenced yard. But that yard did not provide the stimulation of a nice walk around the neighborhood. Any dog loves a nice walk - meeting new people and new dogs. So if you cannot walk a dog or won't, please don't apply for Gizmo, he deserves better.

Gizmo has never met a cat so we cannot tell how he would be with them. His mom said he was fine with girl dogs but unsure of male dogs. Riding in cars can be a little scary for him but he has not gotten sick. More time riding might help him enjoy the experience.

More than anything else, Gizmo wants to be with people. He loves his family and is a velcro dog. We are hoping his new family will be active, experienced people who know how to train a new little guy to go potty outside, to walk him religiously, to show him not to fear new things, new dogs and new people. A confident owner is a joy to a dog. Love is not enough.

Are you looking for a beautiful little guy who wants more than anything else in this world to be YOUR best friend?  Will you help him learn all that he has missed? If so, please put in your application - Gizmo is waiting 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.
