Ripley is one of the nicest puppies we have had in rescue in a long time. He is patient, loving, easy to be around and smart.  His personality shines from his lovely liquid brown eyes - such expressive, intelligent eyes, he could tell you stories, oh the stories he could tell, if he would. 

But Ripley isn't living in the past, he is happy in his current home with his Yorkie friends. His vetting is done, he is healed in mind and soul - now he just needs someone out there to recognize a superior dog when they see his picture.

No ordinary looking Yorkie-mix, Ripley is special.  It takes a real dog lover, someone who may have lost their best friend and is looking for a younger dog to become their inseparable and well trained companion. Let the snobs have the prancing ordinaryYorkie. Ripley is extraordinary, unique, and very valuable.

Look him over, think about what you want in a dog - small, loving, loyal, active, healthy, patient, intelligent - then look at him again. Here is the dog that people describe to us.

Ripley is with us in north western PA but we can help to transport him closer to you if you are approved.  Ripley's foster mom and dad have had many other dogs and describe him as being one of the very finest they have ever worked with. This guy is the one who can change the oil in your car AFTER he does your taxes. Well, almost.  His sense of humor is unique. 

He is a mix - perhaps with a mini Schnauzer?

Ripley takes treats gently, loves deeply, plays nicely... is a super sweet puppy.

Give Lenore a call after you put in your application.  You may be the luckiest family to be selected to take Ripley home.  You can't get a better puppy. Period.

Want a guy to raise your way? Ripley says - "I'm HERE E E E! C'est moi!"

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.
