Lexi is a great little girl who was found as a stray with her friend Penny. She has been through a lot but is still a happy girl. Lexi is a doll. She is small, we are guessing 5 lbs. She gets along fine with all three of her foster dogs and has basically ignored the kitty. Of course, the kitty is 3 x her size, so it may just show how smart she is. :) She ate well, she follows her foster mom everywhere and likes to be held. She even slept in her lap while she was eating lunch. She is also perfectly content just to be near her person by laying on the floor. She tried to get the otherdogs to play with her by throwing that little butt in the air in her best imitation of a puppy bow. Everytime she has been taken outside (which has been a lot) she goes potty, and so far she has not gone potty inside. She was kenneled for the short car ride with no problems, and for a short while at the new foster home. She went right in and didn't seem to mind it at all.Give Lexi a chance. Her adoption donation is $350. She is in Harrisburg, PA What a sweetie!

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.
