Gizzmo is watching out the window. He's not interessted in the squirrels or the cars or even the dogs across the street.  No, Gizzmo only is looking for one thing, one person. His mom. His whimpering and fractic searching is natural. He wants HER and he wants to go home. His mom loved him very much. She took wonderful care of him - he has had his teeth cleaned - HECK - he's even microchipped!  She took care of all of his needs but she knew she couldn't give him the one thing he needed most, her time. She worked full time and is going to school. Gizzy just had to be alone alot. He wasn't happy and his mom did what people do who love someone, they did what was best for that someone. 

Gizzmo is home with Vera and the girls! 5 Gorgeous luscious female Yorkies. They are the most beautiful dogs and they are letting this little boy in because he needs a place to stay while he finds his new family.

So Gizzy has a harmen of beauties. They know he is neutered but that doesn't stop him from being the only boy in town. He has all of his shots, and he's ready to rock and roll. 

Yes, he needs to settle and get used to the idea. But he has our wonderful foster mom, Vera to hold him and let him know, he is still loved. 

Gizzy is in Pittsburgh, PA   Yes WAY WAY WAY out west. Yes, you will have to drive there to meet him. Keep that in mind. Then get your application in!

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.
