Sissy is a beautiful young Yorkie girl, who just came into rescue.

The good news -
She is very much still a puppy, a bundle of joyful energy, not at all aggressive with either food, toys or anything else. She glides through the house on her long legs like a Gazelle, plays with the other dogs who love to play with her.

Sissy is active so we are hoping YOU are active too - like hiking, walks, jogging, being outside and moving?? You have found a wonderful dog to do that all with.

Her beautiful hair - long and silver on the back says Yorkie; Her face says Silky. We say - what a gorgeous girl to take home this Spring. Show her off when you go for lots of walks in the neighborhood.

Sissy must have had some training before she came to us: she will sit on command, responds well to NO, but MUST attend an obedience class when she is adopted. (It is part of our bylaws - so be sure you are able before you apply!) Classes help the dog to bond to you, to learn to pay attention to your voice and commands. Taking her to classes now will give you a well trained dog for the next 15 years - what a pleasure to have a dog who listens to you when you tell her to lie down or come.

Call Ellie about Sissy once you have put your application in. She is all puppy so she needs someone with time, and lots of energy to match her needs. Are you ready for all that puppiness? This is the time of year to adopt your best friend and get out there to walk.

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.
