On Saturday, November 10, 2007, Sparkie joined the family of SAYRescue. He is a neutered male approximately 7 years old. He has no medical records, no papers, no belongings. He was surrendered from a trailer in a rural area of northern Pennsylvania which was also home to six other dogs and 13 cats.
Life posed many adversities to these pets and to their humans alike. Saturday afternoon was busy for Sparkie. He was bathed, de-matted, bathed again and trimmed. Although his foster mom has never been particularly known for her grooming skills, his makeover was well received and he was most cooperative. Enough that he would pose for the photos. We hope you can identify the "before" and "afters" !
He had a pedicure as his toenails had grown sideways and curled almost into complete circles. His coat is sparse and skin irritated because of chronic flea infestation. He has special oatmeal shampoo and our vet says his coat will grow in nicely.
His temperament is extraordinarily sweet. He was instantly accepted by his foster canine counterparts and has effortlessly slipped into our lives. His personality has unfolded hour by hour. It is said that character grows from adversity. Spark could not be a better case in point. This little man has endured so much physical hardship. He deserves silks and cashmere, fine linens and sterling
silver. He is top shelf. Our goal for Sparkie is to find him the forever home that will give him the care, love, attention, and most of all, the respect that he has earned and deserves.

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.
