Hi, my name is Riley. I’m a couple of years old (I’m not really positive how many), and I weigh about 10 pounds. I’ll tell you right up front, I’m a really great guy. Right now, I’m living with my foster mom in Connecticut, but what I really want more than anything else in the world, is a family of my own to love. I guess the people who had me the first time were looking for someone who just didn’t love life as much as I do, so they just brought me to an animal shelter and left me there. Yeah, I was hurt, but I’ve tried to put that all behind me now. I’m energetic, love to play with my toys and go for walks, but I’m a pretty well rounded guy. I don’t think I’d be too good with young kids or aggressive dogs though. I love to go for rides in the car and I walk pretty well on a leash. I know I have my problems, I mean, who doesn’t? I can get a little possessive of my people and if you’re not paying attention and don’t let me out often enough, I’ll have an accident in the house. I make a little growling noise when I’m being picked up, but it is just my way of saying hey, what's happening, man? I would never, ever bite you. Oh, I had liver shunt surgery awhile ago, but I’m fine now. I just have to have special food to make sure I stay healthy. Every morning I wake up and think; today is the day that someone will find me; someone who is going to let me love them forever and they’re going to love me forever right back. So, if you think you could be that person could you please call my foster mom, Tammy at 860-206-5567. Thanks a whole lot!

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.
