Looking for a New Home...

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.

Please visit our Yorkie Rescue Angel Boutique. This is how we fund our Rescue efforts and we have tons of special items just waiting for you there!!!

Come see our Special Needs Dogs here. These dogs need extra help. Any donation you can make will help us help little dogs like this needing extreme emergency care. Even after they are adopted, we need help replinishing funds that we used for their care!

Adoption donation is $400	Scooter My name is Scooter and I am looking for a forever home. I am a Yorkie mix; perhaps mixed with Australian terrier which is a cousin to the Yorkie, but they hail from “Down Under” as they say. I am small, only 7 lbs, but I am all cute. I am housebroken and use the doggie door faithfully. I do not care for small humans (kids). I am only 1 1/2 yrs old but I am looking for a home with someone older, teenagers are fine. Scooter is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped and will be having a dental soon. I am getting to know my foster mom's feline friends but haven't decided whether I can tolerate them or not. Maybe that should be whether they can tolerate me. It is a work in progress. You have to admit that I have cute down pat. Adoption donation is $400 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $100	Max Meet Max. He was not going to make it out of that cold shelter so we whisked him away and brought Max to his new foster home. Max has not had it easy due to being so medically neglected, but he has since been neutered and has had a dental. He now feels like a new “dog”. Max is a sweet old guy. He is estimated to be around 15 years old, but he gets around better than most seniors I know! He takes the steps up and down to go outside. He is pretty potty trained for outdoors, but has also used the puppy training pads to go inside. He seems pretty easy-going and hasn’t had any problems with cats or other dogs. Max currently weighs around 9 lbs. but should probably be around 12 lbs. He is very thin, so hopefully he will put some weight on soon. If you would like to give Max a place to live out his life, please put him on your application. Adoption donation is $100 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation $225	Bentley #2 Meet Bentley, our little Benji dog who really needed our help. Bentley has been through a very rough time the last six weeks. He was seriously injured and suffered a fracture of his left rear leg. Through surgery and recovery, he has remained a very sweet boy. Bentley is good with other dogs, but prefers people. He loves his food, but is not food aggressive. He likes to play. Bentley would do best as an only dog, however, he gets along with other dogs so this is not a prerequisite. He likes to be active so once he has recovered; daily walks will keep him happy. This little boy has a great disposition and is doing well with potty training, although it has been difficult while he was on 24 hour bed rest. He is eager to please, but finds it hard to restrain himself from barking at strange dogs. Since Bentley is a big boy at 20 pounds, he could go to a home where there are older children who respect animals and will remember that rough play could reinjure his leg. He will definitely need a single family home where there is a backyard for him to run around. Bentley is around 5 years old, up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting this fine boy, please ask for him on your application. Adoption donation is $225.00 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation $325	Sammy This is Sammy. He is 1 Year, 4 Months old and had a rough beginning, however, with lots of love from his foster family he is doing just fine. Sammy loves to kiss, run, jump and play with his foster brother, Bubbles, who is about his size. He also likes making new friends. Once Sammy warms up to new dogs and people, he becomes a complete love bug. Sammy’s past owner did not treat him very nicely, so he can be a little uneasy when he meets new males until he knows for sure that they will not hurt him. However, once he is comfortable he loves making new friends and gets along great with other dogs. He needs a loving home and a loving family, that’s really all a doggy can wish for. If you are interested in meeting Sammy and giving him a furever home, please put Sammy’s name on your application and if you can meet his new home requirements which include, another young dog my size to play with, a sizeable yard to run around in and chase his siblings because he loves to run and play and no small children. He has already been neutered; he’s up to date on his shots and is microchipped and is ready to go home with YOU! Adoption donation is $325 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!

Adoption donation is $225	Cody Meet Cody. He is a little senior boy that was rescued from the local shelter. Cody did not have a very good start when he was dumped at the shelter. We got him out just in time as he had a very bad respiratory infection. We got him to the vet just in time and got him on some antibiotics and he is now feeling much better and loving life at his foster mom’s house. He is a very sweet, gentle little boy. He is estimated to be around 10 years old and he weighs about 9 pounds. He doesn’t have many teeth left, but that doesn’t stop him from filling his little belly. Cody gets along well with his foster siblings. He is looking for a quiet home where he can be someone’s lap dog. He would love to sit and watch The Dog Whisperer with YOU. He will need a safe yard to do his business in. Cody is up to date on his shots, neutered and microchipped.

Adoption Donation is $225	Buster This is Buster, a senior Yorkie we guess to be approximately 8-10 years old. He weighs a chubby 9 pounds and has started his New Year diet early to get him eating healthy and lose some of that extra weight. Poor Buster was not well cared for before he was left at the animal shelter. He came to Rescue with no teeth (they were rotten and pulled by the Vet at the Shelter). He had two bad ear infections, an upper respiratory infection and very little housebreaking training. Now that he is being given proper nutrition, medication and lots of love, he is a sweet loving lap dog eager to please. Buster doesn't mind sharing his blanket or food with the other 4 legged members of the family and doesn't seem much interested in toys. He did play and wrestle with another Yorkie at the pound, so a little doggie pal would be nice, although a stay at home person to give him lots of attention as the only dog would probably work too. Buster likes to roam and sniff in the grass so a backyard with a sturdy fence is a must. He is neutered, microchipped, has all his shots, is heartworm tested and ready to meet you. If you are the person to give this little boy some wonderful years as his new family, fill out your application. Adoption donation is $225 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!

Adoption Pending! Adoption Donation is $275	Maxwell Meet Maxwell. He is an adorable little 7 year old Yorkie. He weighs about 6 pounds, up to date on his shots, neutered and microchipped. Maxwell is somewhat timid and shy until he gets familiar with his surroundings. He is housebroken and knows basic commands (sit, stay, & shake). He is not a jumper or runner. He waits to be invited up on the furniture or bed - you have to lift him up though because he won't jump. He likes to snuggle and be wherever you are----Velcro dog. He likes to go for walks & car rides. He definitely needs someone who is home most of the day. (He does cry or whimper when you leave). He has to be fed "good dog food" or he has really, really bad gas (not an exaggeration!). It took awhile for the shelter food to get out of his system. He has a skin condition that we are working on and with a good diet, we are sure it will improve quickly. He is the sweetest little guy and as cute as a button. Sometimes when you are talking to him, he will wink at you. He likes little dog beds! Maxwell needs a home with a yard and another small dog to hang out with when mom/dad are gone. He would do better with a stay at home mom/dad or a parent who works only part time. If you are interested in meeting Maxwell, put his name on your application. We will only contact those who are a match for him. Adoption donation is $275 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
