A
note about our adoption donations
*Adoption donations are based on but not limited to: health, age, and
sex of the pup. Adoption donations range from $50.-$600. You may ask
"Why would you charge an adoption fee? Why not just place in a good
home?"
The
answer is: because we rely heavily on these adoption fees in order to be
able to take in ALL Yorkies in need. A
young, healthy dog may cost us $200-400 in vet care, and have many homes
interested in adopting him/her. An older or sick yorkie, or one with
health issues can easily cost $500-1500+ in veterinary expenses. He/she may
require months of foster care for rehabilitation or expensive surgery; yet we can only ask a
minimal adoption fee. Often times these are also the same dogs that
don't receive as many inquires for adopting. Please keep in mind that the adoption donations of younger, healthy
dogs help defray the higher costs of the veterinary care of older,
injured or sick dogs.
We
hope that people looking to adopt through
Yorkies Inc. are
willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by
supporting them through adoption fees.
We are a non-profit organization. Without these
adoption donations we would not have the funding to take in all yorkies
in need.
Yorkies Inc.
completely vets every dog we take in. All dogs are groomed given a
complete exam and brought up to date on all vaccines. They are
also given a dental cleanings, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested and any
medical needs and needed surgeries are met before placement.
If you are looking for to adopt to "save money" or "don't want to pay
breeder prices" please check your local shelters. We are only
interested in loving responsible homes that are willing to commit to the
care and up keep of the pup for a lifetime. If you are not willing to
pay the adoption donation now you are likely not to pay for quality food
or to see to the pups health care needs in the future. Remember we are
looking for our pups to become family members and cherished companions
not a convenient impulse purchase.

"It is very sad to
me that one’s life changes and they have to find a new home for their
pet of 6 or 7 or more years. It is equally sad that many people
looking to adopt a dog would not consider an older pet. Some of
the best foster dogs we have had come into our organization have been
older pets. They stand out because they seem to have developed a very
respectful loyalty that I don’t see in younger dogs. They aren’t
all the same but They usually don’t have those awful puppy teething
problems, housetraining issues and seem very easy to spoil.
These dogs have a life expectancy of 14-16 years so, the new owners will
enjoy another 8 to 10 years with a wonderful loyal friend."

Rudy
Meet Rudy! He's just 3 months old and full of energy! We are
thrilled about this because Rudy has had such a tough life
already in such a short time. Rudy was born in a PuppyMill and
was pulled from his mom and siblings before he was even 8
weeks old. Shortly after being shipped to the Petstore he was
diagnosed with Parvo...most would not make it...but Rudy was
very lucky not only did he live through the Parvo but he was
also rescued!!! When he came down with Parvo the Petstore was
shipping him to their "main Facility" where he was going to be
put down. He has now been treated and has fully recovered and
is making up for all the sick days and lost time ...and is all
puppy! There are no lasting effects from having Parvo so no
need to worry there. He is now in great health and is just
waiting for last set of vaccines and he can go to his new
home! If you would like to be considered to adopt Rudy please
submit your application now. Any questions please email
Rudy's fostermom Kerri at Kerri@yorkiesinc.com |

Rusti
Rusty Is a 7 year old 5-6lb male Yorkie. He loves to take
rides and walks. He has a more alpha personality and is very
smart. He loves attention!!! He will sit for hours waiting for
the cat in the home to come downstairs so he can chase him so
maybe a cats in the new home is not the best idea. He has a
typical mischievous terrier personality. He does like being
center of attention so being an "only" dog would probably be
best. He will be neutered
and get a dental cleaning before being placed. He is the dad
to Frebb. He is being placed because his family is moving and
cannot take the pups with them. If interested in Rusty please
submit an adoption application.

Furguson
This is Furguson, and this little guy is all fun! He's very
happy to be here....he started out in a puppymill. He's a male
Silky terrier puppy just 4 months old. He is completely
vetted, neutered, and is ready to have a family of his
own...One he's been patiently waiting for stuck in a very
small cage. He is healthy and weighs about 8lbs, he'll be
about 12-15lbs full grown so he's the perfect size for a
family yet still very portable. He would love a yard and maybe
another friendly dog who doesn't mind sharing everything...Furgus
LOVES his soft, warm bed and everyone else's too! He loves his
new toys, all his foster dog friends, loves kisses and
hasn't meant anyone he doesn't also love! He will still need
to be housetrained because of his age. If you'd like to be
considered to be loved by Furguson please submit an adoption
application.

Frebb
Frebb
is a real cutey who likes a lot of attention. He is Samantha
and Rusti's son. He is 4 years old and 5-6lbs. He would prefer
a home with someone who is at home most of the day. He has
never been alone so we are hoping to find a home that may also
have another laid back pup or lots of time for Frebb. Frebb is
a sweet no problems pup. He has been submissive to Rusti so
it's time for him to be in the spotlight. we are looking for
someone who will give him the attention and security and love
that he needs. If interested in adopting Frebb please submit
an adoption application

We
thought with the recent Liver Shunt pups we should give you all more
background on this dreadful condition that is become more prevalent
in our beloved breed. Below is a link to some success stories
including Bella who came into
Yorkies Inc in early February
2006. She is
now known as "Paisley" Please take the time to read her story and
that of the other Liver Shunt Survivors. Through this link you can
also find other links for more info on Liver Shunt's and what it
means to the pup and the owner. We'd like to thank a good friend
Stephen Glass for featuring Paisley and getting the word out about
Liver shunts.
