She was a scared, starved, tiny little girl of 3 pounds - she needs to eat as much as she can to gain some weight. We called her Tempy but thought Jillie would be a better name. Love that name - Jillie. She is a hoot  - a real character!  Doing well- eating well and trying to find people to schmooze. She likes to be around the people who are caring for her. We don't know if she is spayed - and we may never know - the only way to tell is to have her cut open - which we won't do.

She looks comical with her tongue out to the side - many Yorkies look the same. Yorkies' teeth are the first thing to go. Jillie doesn't mind the crazy look - she can eat just fine.

She gets along with cats and other dogs. She gets around during the day but isn't able to see well in dim light. Jilli may be hard of hearing but she likes to take walks and go potty outside.

She is vacationing with Rosemary near Pittsburgh  Call and we'll tell you more. Pictures to come.

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.
