Her mother left the family - walked out. Gone. No one else in the family had time for Riley so Riley volunteered to come to us so that she could interview a new family. Flighty people - keep going! Riley wants a nice settled home where people love their dogs.

Riley is a good girl, very friendly, a happy dog who, as you can see - is ready for the beach and summer fun. What a doll baby!

Riley is a calm and quiet girl and perfect for someone who likes to have their canine companion with them all the time.  She loves affection and loves when you pet her and give her neck a little scratch.  She will follow you throughout the house and just sit and watch you.  Whether you're cooking, watching TV, on the computer or sitting reading, Riley is right there, either sitting and watching you or laying at your feet calmly sleeping. 

She's not much of a barker, but does like to bark at a bird that might land near her.  Her tail goes up, she runs at it and gives a couple barks.  Then back to her quiet self. 

She gets along great with other dogs and children.  She is housebroken as long as you are there to take her outside to go potty after she eats and before bedtime. 

She's doing great.   She eats her dinner with no problem, even with multiple dogs eating near her.  She loves treats but will always wait her turn!  She doesn't have any aggression whatsoever.  She just wants someone to love her and give her attention.  She walks good on a leash.   She is spayed (and will be up to date on her shots ). 

She likes to sleep on the floor or in her bed, but wouldn't mind sleeping in bed with you if that gets her closer to you!  She's a very good girl and will make a wonderful companion.

Are you looking for a forever love - not a summer fling? If so, call Gail - she's the one with the sunglasses and floppy hat who is loving on Riley today in Warminster, PA - close to Philly. Now is your chance to take a Yorkie girl home with you. Ready, set - pass the suntan lotion - its time for Riley to come home.

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.
