Welcome, I hope you enjoy seeing these wonderful little dogs that are looking for a good home. If you find a listing that you are interested in, please fill out a "Rescue Home Application" and press send.

To rescue a Yorkie, a minimum donation to Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue is required based upon on the age and condition of the dog and medical expenses incurred beginning at $150) plus a $25 fee for Microchipping. Each dog is Microchipped before going to it's new home. Read about our Microchip Policy here.

Most Yorkies are adopted within their home states. If you are interested in a Yorkie that is not in your home state, you may still send an inquiry, however, every effort is first made to place the dogs locally, however in some circumstances we do allow the adopted families to come pick the dogs from their foster home.

We tend to have more people willing to rescue our Yorkies than we have dogs available. While this may mean that you may have to wait a considerable amount of time before a rescue becomes available, it is the best possible situation for our Yorkies needing new "forever" homes.

n the web page. So just because you don't see your state on the page, does not mean there isn't a dog for you. You must fill out the form to be put on the waiting list, and someone in your area will contact you.

If you have a Yorkie needing a rescue, please fill out the form listed below.
Thank you

For reasons I do not understand, I was surrendered to a shelter and was rescued by these wonderful people. I do have some issues such as not liking cats at all, children or large dogs.

I love to sleep and snuggle under the covers of my foster mom's bed and I love to be carried around and be spoiled. I must be an only dog and I will love you forever. My foster mom is working on my issues and is teaching me patience. I am neutered, have had all my vaccinations and my teeth are pretty good.

Adoption donation is $325	Theo March 2013. Hi my name is Theo, short for Theodore. I am 9 years old and weigh 12 pounds. I am in the process of interviewing people for a "furever" home for myself. Let me tell you about myself. I was a stray and some nice man found me and took me to a shelter, where I was rescued. I am a very nice boy, but I tend to be a bit yappy when people come to visit and I get a little stressed when they leave so I jump and bark a lot. But I do love to cuddle and sleep on my foster mom's bed. I love to go on walks,take afternoon naps and am learning how to play. I would prefer a home with no children and be the only dog. I would also like my new parents to be home a lot with me. I am neutered, up to date on all my shots and am missing some of my bottom teeth, but the rest are ok. If you think that you might love someone as cute as I am then please put my name "THEO" on the application and I will give you a call. My adoption donation is $325, including the microchip.

Adoption donation is $300	Wally February 2013. Let me introduce myself. I am Wally and am a 10 yr oldish handsome Yorkie. I am 7 pounds of love but could gain about a pound to love you even better. My favorite spot would be on your lap and to sleep with you in bed. But I am not a complete couch potato, I love walking on a leash and going wherever you want to go. I am a good eater even though I do not have any teeth, and my tongue hangs out (personally I think it adds to my "look"). I do prefer wet food along with dry food that is very moist. You should see how cute I am in my sweaters and shirts - I have real style. I have had all my shots, am neutered and micro-chipped. I would love to love you. If you think that I am the boy for you, please fill out an application and write my name on it. Donation of $300 includes micro-chip. Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $375	Lulu Belle May, 2013 Meet Lulu Belle, a 1 Year old happy little girl with beautiful color and markings. These pictures do not do her justice. She is spayed, microchippped and up to date on her vaccines. She weighs around 10 lbs. Lulu Belle's history is unknown. She was picked up as a stray and she is very, very afraid of people. She, at this point, will not allow a person to touch her. Because of her fear of humans she needs a home with an established secure dog to lead her and help her transition. This is a MUST and she will not be adopted to a home without this. She is very dog social and loves to play so her doggie sibling will need to be of the same activity level. She is just now learning how to trust humans but will need a patient parent who can show her gentle kindness and give her time to warm up. She would also love a yard as playing outdoors is her favorite pastime. She loves to play fetch and roll around in the grass! Lulu Belle is learning everything very quickly and has already mastered potty training. To summarize, Lulu Belle needs another established dog her age and size to play with; a fair sized fenced backyard; a human who has the time and patience to spend with her to help her overcome her fear of people. She will not go to a home with small/young children. She Loves being outdoors and needs an outdoorsy type person One has to wonder how this young pup has lived the first five months of her life to have such fears. Perhaps she has been on her own on the streets since she was born…So if you think you can give Lulu Belle the home she deserves please put her name on your application. Adoption donation is $375. January, 2013. Lulu Belle weighs 15 pounds Fill out an Application now!

By morning a new day starts! Adoption donation is $300 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Northern California
Adoption donation $275	Bentley January, 2013. Poor Bentley has a very sad story. He was brought to the shelter by the owner who carried him in with his left rear leg dangling, and told them at the desk that the dog was in his backyard and "someone" went in the backyard and kicked him. According to the Vet, this was not a fracture caused by "being kicked." He felt it was more likely that the dog was hit, if not with a baseball bat, perhaps by a car. The fracture was so severe that it couldn't simply be cast and left to heal, the repair would require the placement of pins to reconnect the bones so they could then heal. That was almost 2 years ago. He remains protective of his leg, although he shows no limitations or residual problems since recovering. Bentley is a young 7 years old and is most likely more Cairn than Yorkie. He plays, and he likes to go for walks. He wants to be a lap dog, but he's probably 18 lbs. He is a very good watchdog. He can hear noises far away, and will let you know. He will howl lightly when excited. Now that he has gotten into a routine of going out at certain times, and eating dinner or breakfast at a certain time, he does well with his potty habits. He gets along with other dogs, but if you are a stay at home person, he would do well as an only dog also. Please look into those big brown eyes and give Bentley what he needs - a furever home of his very own. Adoption donation is $275 (micro-chip included). Fill out an application now and put his name on it if you think Bentley would be a good addition to your home. Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $250	Maggie Mae April 2013. Hi everyone, my name is Maggie Mae, I am 6 years old and weigh 9 lbs. The beginning of my story is a bit sad, the middle is happy and the end would be a wonderful "furever" home. I was found after being hit by a car and taken to a shelter and it was discovered that I had a small hairline fracture in my pelvis due to the car accident and my one eye was hurt as well. The good news is that my fracture is all healed, but I can now only see out of my one eye, but I am so pretty and nice that it does not matter to me. I would prefer a home with no small children, since I can't see out of my one eye I can get a little nervous. I love to hang out on the recliner and check out the neighborhood. I think in the past I was always kept outside because I was afraid in the house, but I have learned to love living in the house and am working on my potty training and using the doggie door. My foster mom gives me extra TLC and I love it. I sleep with my foster mom in my own bed and I love getting dressed up in pretty clothes. I don't mind cats, but they are fun to bark at. I have had all my vaccinations and am spayed and microchiped. If you think that you would love me to be a part of you family please put my name on the application "MAGGIE MAE". I will love you "furever". My adoption donation is $250.00 includes microchip Fill out an Application now!

I have a great personality. I love to play with everyone and I love to play with other dogs. Cats are just a curiousity to me. As you can see from my picture, I am a beautiful blonde and have a very handsome tail that wags all the time to show you how happy I am. My foster mom thinks I am way too cute. I don't even mind when she dresses me up. I have had all my shots and am neutered. If you like to play and cuddle and want everlasting love from me, then put my name on your application.

Adoption donation is $400	Mr. Wiggles & CoCO April 2013. We are the fabulous "Yorkie Boys". I am Mr. Wiggles and my brother is CoCo. We are both five years old. Our potty habits need a small amount of work but we both know how to use a doggie door. We love to cuddle and to sleep in bed with our foster mom. We get along with everyone, even including that other species called cats. We are neutered and have had all of our vaccinations. We had to leave our previous home due to financial circumstances, however, it is not so bad because we will be together. My brother CoCo is between 6 and 7 pounds. He is a beautiful yorkie mix with copper and black hair. CoCo is very sweet and a bit shy. We were separated once and CoCo absolutely refused to eat, so we MUST stay together as we are very bonded. I, Mr. Wiggles weigh between 7 and 8 pounds and am also a handsome yorkie mix, but my coat is more coarse and blonder than my brother. But I am just as handsome. If you think you would like two sweet lovebugs to add to your family, then put our names, MR. WIGGLES and COCO on your application. Remember WE MUST BE ADOPTED AS A PAIR! Our adoption donation is $400 and that includes the microchips. Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $425	Max February 2013. We are looking for a special home for Max, aka Mighty Max. He's a 4 year old Maltese Yorkie mix. Max is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, micro-chipped and heart worm tested. He weighs all of 5 pounds but has a heart and attitude that is huge. He is trained to a doggy door, loves to go for walks and craves attention from his human. He will need a special environment and a pet parent that has plenty of time to devote to him as he does have a couple of behavior issues as a result of his being left to his own devices for most of his life. Max needs to go to a home with no children and he should be the only dog because he is possessive of his human and will growl and not let another dog be affectionate. Max is afraid of noise, strangers and larger dogs and is defensive around them. He will growl and snap when frightened and does not do well in a group of several people. When he feels secure and loved he is a doll and very loving. Max needs some work on his house training but he is a smart little boy and learns quickly. If you have the kind of home that Max will thrive in, please fill out an adoption application and list him as your choice for your next four legged companion. His adoption fee is $425 including his microchip. Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $200	Romeo September, 2012. Meet Romeo. He is not a full Yorkie, probably part Chihuahua. He was rescued from the shelter along with his brother, Rudy. Romeo is larger, almost 7 pounds and is approximately 8 months of age. He is a gentleman who is quiet, soft spoken, and more subdued than his sibling and he lives up to his name! He will be better off being the only dog in the home as he is intimidated by his foster siblings. He has been neutered, microchipped, and has all his shots. He still needs reinforcement in the area of housetraining, but it is coming along well. If you would love to open your heart to a real gentleman, fill out an application to take this guy home. Adoption donation is $200 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Illinois

She greets everyone with a kiss and has not met a person she doesn’t like! Zoey is very smart and learned to climb her foster family’s stairs in less than a day. She dances for her treats and is so proud of herself when she is praised. Zoey attended one obedience class so far and appears eager to learn how to sit and stay. Zoey has the potential to be a great therapy dog once she gets a little older. She is cuddly and loves to sleep on her foster parent’s lap or next to them in bed. She is curious about the world and new adventures, and loves to go out for a walk or run in her foster parents’ fenced yard. Zoey is good with men, women and older respectful children. She is good with cats (although wants to play with them) and could be placed with a cat who is comfortable with dogs. Zoey is very healthy, spayed, and UTD on all of her shots. Zoey’s will need to have another small dog or two who want to play with her and a parent who is home at least part-time. She is working on learning to use the potty pad and go outdoors.
