Hey Mikey!  Little Mikey from that old TV commercial ate anything. So does our new little guy from New Jersey.

Mikey is coming from a very loving home. He was with his family, the only one he has ever known, for all of his 12 years. Unfortunately for economic reasons, they had to move to an apartment which did not allow pets. So Mikey is moving to our place.

At 12 years, he is an adult dog, well trained and easy. He is just right for older folks who like to go for walks, watch some tv, take a ride in the car and relax. He's much too good for the younger set who prefer the very young dogs. Let them have the zoom-zooms - you can have a higher class of dog like Mikey. 

Mikey is a show boat of love and sweetness who gets along with other dogs and all kinds of people.  

 Mikey is a good eater, like his name sake. But he is a little down right now from losing his family.

Mikey is fostering in Marlton, NJ with Marie and John.  Don't hold back - jump right in - if you have never had a dog, Mikey can teach you how.

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.
