Holy Thunder! No No - He's afraid of Thunder!

What a name for a small guy!

Thunder loves his toys and being cuddled. He loves the people he knows. 

Thunder is afraid of thunder, loud noises, and commotion. He likes a quiet home - he is cautious with other dogs and has never met a cat.  If he gets scared he runs and hides his head. Poor little guy should have been named Ostrich. 

Thunder will run like a deer if he gets out by himself - so a fenced yard is a requirement. A good harness and leash are important. 

We will update his bio as we learn more about him. He was surrendered because his favorite person has cancer and cannot care for him anymore. He has lost everything - his home, his family - he is scared and in shock. 

Give him a few days to learn that life is not over, that people will take good care of him and that, perhaps, life will get even better. With someone who will walk him on summer mornings, who will play with him and his toys, who will let him sleep near them - well, he will begin to love again.

Thunder is vacationing in Shady Side, MD with Joanne.  More pictures to follow.

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.
