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.-$750. 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.

 

 

 If interested in adopting with Yorkies Inc please submit an adoption application. We always go to applications already on file when dogs become available. Thank you so much for considering adoption!


Onyx

Onyx is a 9 month old male Yorkie who was on his way to being a show dog when his breeder noticed an issue with his back leg. Onyx has been diagnosed with leg perthes which is a deformity of the of the hip joint. The good news is that this can be medically corrected and Onyx will be able to lead a normal and happy life.
 Onyx had his surgery on 7/13 and is doing well. He is putting pressure on the leg and able to go on slow leash walks. He will need to go back to the vets before he can be adopted but we are hoping to have his home all set for when he is ready. Onyx gets along well with other dogs, but he loves to be around people all the time. He wants to be in the same room with you and go where every you go. Onxy will need work on being housetrained, he is still a puppy and has not caught on yet.
.If interested in Onyx please submit an adoption application. If you have any questions please contact his foster Mom at kerri@yorkiesinc.com

Dexter

     

Dexter is a sweet little 7.2lbs pure breed Brussels Griffon. He is just a year old and a dark red rough coat variety. He is being released by his breeder who had planned on showing him. He has a nice stocky build and loves to cuddle. Will need some work with house training but should learn quickly as Griffs are smart pups. Dexter is up to date on vaccines and has been neutered. He is also micro-chipped.

 If you're looking for a pup that will entertain, charm and delight you on a daily basis, this is your guy. They love to run and play on the beach or in the yard. This breed was featured in the film "As Good As It Gets" with Jack Nicholson; the dog really was central to the film plot. Hanging out with these guys, you'll see why pretty quickly. They are smart, affectionate, playful and curious. They seem to be speaking to you with their eyes. Brussels Griffons are a very uncommon breed. If interested in adopting Dexter please submit an adoption application. Any questions email Cathie@yorkiesinc.com

Danny

Danny is a pure breed male Brussels Griffon. He is just 1yo & 8lbs, his coat is the rough coat version and the color is called "Belge" (tan w/black tips). He is being released by his breeder, she planned on showing him but decided against it. He is active & fun... a little shy at first though.  Danny is neutered, up to date on vaccines & is micro-chipped.

Mucci

                    

Mucci is a 7yo 51/2-6lb male Yorkie. He's shy and loves to be held. He's quiet and would do well as an only or with another pup. Does well on a leash. He has also lost some teeth and will be getting a dental so could lose some more. This is fairly common in the breed. We will also be getting him neutered, updated on vaccines, heart worm tested and micro chipped. He's got his summer haircut right now but he has a beautiful coat if you decide to grow it long. If interested in adopting Mucci please submit an adoption application. Any questions please email Kerri@yorkiesinc.lcom

Update 7/14  During Mucci's dental it was discovered that his lower right jaw was fractured due to an infection in his teeth that caused his jaw to loose bone mass. The dental was stopped and Mucci was brought to a dental specialist. X-rays showed that the lower right jaw was fractured in two places. His jaw was wired and he now needs to wear a loose muzzle for the next 4 weeks to keep his jaw in place so it can heal. After 4 weeks he will go back for another x-ray and hopefully the wire will be removed at that time. If you would like to become a friend of Mucci's and help pay for his dental expenses, consisting of $679,  please use the paypal button below. All friends of Mucci will be listed below.

ADOPTION PENDING!

 

Lady & Gypsy

            

Lady and Gypsy are pure bred Mini Schnauzers that were both born on 9/29/2007. That makes them just under 3 years old. They have never been separated since birth. They both weigh approximately 14.5 lbs each and they are both spayed. Gypsy has more black around her eyes and down her muzzle. Gypsy's muzzle is slightly narrower than Lady's. Lady is more gray throughout her face. We call them the twins because if they aren't together its really hard to tell them apart, especially now that they are the same weigh. Gypsy is the more outgoing of the pair, with Lady being the follower.
They both love to snuggle. Gypsy loves to give and receive kisses. Lady being the shy one, well, you have to work really hard to get kisses from her, but she will let you snuggle with her for hours. We are hoping they can be adopted together as they are a very bonded pair of cutie-pies. A family with kids and a fenced yard would be ideal. They are into everything. They want to know everything that is going on. They rarely bark. However, Lady does always have to know where Gypsy is. They both love to run and play and they love kids. They ride well in the car and are leash trained. We have a single split leash for them that they love. They may need a little refresher on house training, especially if they are in a new place or are very excited. They came into Yorkies Inc because their Mom had a stroke and can no longer care for them. If interested in adopting please submit an adoption application. Any questions email cathie@yorkiesinc.com

Tadpole

Tad

 Tadpole is our newest special needs puppy. He is just a "Tad" of a puppy at 1lb and just 9 weeks old. Tad has had an injury to his front paw and we are hoping that it can be corrected. The injury is a few weeks old so we are praying something can still be done....he wasn't old enough to leave him mom before now. He will be seen by the orthopedic specialist this week. Tad is not ready to be adopted but if you can help with a donation to his veterinary expenses and surgery we would be very thankful. All donators will be listed as a "Friend of Tad" Please use the PayPal button below. Questions please email: Cathie@yorkiesinc.com

Update 5/13/10: Tad was seen by the surgeon on Tuesday. We were told that Tadpole has a congenital dislocation in his elbow. This has made his wrist contract and twist along with the rest of his front leg. We were told we could either allow him to grow as is and he would adjust and learn to walk on three legs, if the front leg bothered him as he got older we would need to amputate. OR we could attempt to correct the dislocation with surgery. The surgery would be to repair the dislocation and set the elbow with a pin. They would also likely have to set the wrist joint as well. This may allow him some movement and use of the leg as he grows. However he is so young and small right now we could not pursue the surgery right away. Instead the surgeon has suggested we give him a couple weeks to gain size and strength and to allow him to get his first course of vaccines prior to moving forward with surgery. Surgery has been set for May 26th. Please keep Tad in your prayers.

Update 5/26/10:Tad is out did well with anesthesia but the surgeon had some disappointing news. Tadpole's leg is much more deformed than he originally thought.. Once he started to operate he could see that it was more twisted than Xray had shown. He was able to get the elbow aligned and pinned but wrist was much more problematic as was the shoulder as well. Tad is in a splint now and will go home tomorrow if all's well. BUT surgeon is not confident at this time that Tad will gain use of the leg.  We are still hoping for the best and it could easily go either way....either leg will not stay straight and may pop back out or if we are very very lucky it may  straighten somewhat as he grows.  The vet said he will not know much more now for a couple of weeks when splint is removed.
 Thank you all for your well wishes, prayers and support!
6/23/10:We have good news to share  about Tad!! He was seen today by Dr Kochin who was thrilled that leg still looks straight and that Tadpole is just starting to put some weight on it after a week without splint. He will be kept low key and go for another recheck in two weeks. But at this point at least it looks... like he's going to have some use of a now straight leg!! We are hoping he continues to use the leg more and more each day and it remains as straight as it looks now. If so he has far surpassed what was expected.

7/10/10: Tad was seen by the Vet for a recheck on Thursday. Dr Kochin was excited to see Tad starting to use the leg quite well.  His elbow and wrist continue to remain straight and he seems to be gaining strength in the leg. The shoulder does seem to be the most noticeable now that he's using the leg more.  But Dr Kochin said that something could be done for that later on if it continued. Tad is still just a Tad at 1.9lbs 4 months old!  Dr Kochin would like another recheck in a month to see how the leg is coming along  as he grows (hopefully )and if we need another surgery for the shoulder.

Tess & Cody

 

Meet Tess Marie and her brother Cody. Their owner is no longer able to care for them and has made the difficult decision to have us find them a new forever home. Tess Marie is a female who weighs about 6lbs and is 7 years old. Cody is 6 years old and weighs about 10lbs. They have been together a long time and we would like to keep them together if possible. They love sleeping together on a pillow (or on your bed) and will often play together with toys. They are pee pee pad trained but their current owner feels they could be trained to go outside as they will when she takes them out for walks. Once vetted Tess and Cody will be ready for their new home. If you feel you have room in your heart for two sweet Yorkies please fill out an adoption application for them. Any questions you can contact their foster Mom at Kerri@yorkiesinc.com 
 

 Cupid

Critical Care!
Cupid in the oxygen box
 
Please help us help Cupid... Cupid is a tiny 6 month old, 2 1/2lb male Yorkie puppy, who is very sick. Cupid came into Yorkies Inc this weekend because of a collapsed trachea. He was having extreme difficulty breathing. We brought right in to the emergency vet where he was diagnosed with a severe case of pneumonia. He is now in an oxygen tank to help with his breathing because he is not able to breathe on his own. It is just too hard for the little guy. Cupid will remain in the oxygen tank while he is being treated for the pneumonia. His lungs are filled with fluid. Because of his small size and the severity of the pneumonia they need to be very aggressive with his treatment or else he will not make it.  He is in Critical Care. If we can get him through the pneumonia and his lungs have been cleared they will then be able to look at his trachea to see what damage there is. Please keep Cupid in your prayers as the next few days are going to be very critical for him. Cupid's medical care is going to be very expensive as he is in the intensive care unit. So far the bill is estimated at $3360.00 Anything you can give to help with Cupid's medical care will be greatly appreciated.  We want Cupid to have the chance to live a happy and healthy life and we need your help. All donators will be listed as "Friends of Cupid".  Please use the PayPal button below.  Any questions please email Kerri@yorkiesinc.com
Update 2/17/10:The vets are currently trying to wean Cupid from the oxygen tank to see if he can handle breathing on his own without the extra support. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He has a long road ahead of him. His bill has gone over what we expected due to needing the oxygen and level of care. We are currently at 4000.00
2/21/10: Cupid is HOME! He was able to go 24 hours without having to use the oxygen tank so he was able to come home. He is still a very sick little boy but is on the long road to recovery. He is on three medications and has to have three steam showers a day with coupage (tapping of his lungs) to try and  help loosen all the mucous and  fluid in his lungs. Cupid's vet bill was just at $4000 when he left and we are not done yet . He will need to go back often for chest x-rays to see how his lungs are clearing in order to determine how to proceed. Please continue to keep Cupid in your prayers even though he is out of the hospital he is still very sick and fragile.
3/10 Cupid had a small setback this past weekend. He had to go back down to the ER due to severe diarrhea, dehydration and refusal to eat. X-rays were taken and his lungs have not cleared as much as the vets had hoped. He was put on a new antibiotic and will have to go back again in a week for another x-ray. The good news is that his appetite is back and his energy level has increased. Please continue to keep him in your prayers as he still has a long road of recovery ahead of him with many more trips to the vet.

3/21 Cupid went back to the vets for an x-ray of his lungs to see how they are clearing. Unfortunately there still has not been much change in the lungs since he came in. They are still heavily congested. Another antibiotic was added to see if this would help. He was also given a cough suppressant to help with his coughing. Please continue to keep him in your prayers as he is still a very sick little guy who is is not improving as quickly as we had hoped.

4/8  Cupid went to the vets this week for another x-ray. The good news is that his lungs have finally begun to clear However, now with the lungs clearing and being able to see more in the x-rays the vets feel that there may be something else going on with Cupid besides pneumonia and his trachea. Cupid is going in this week for an echocardiogram to look at his heart and also to see if there are any growths that may be pushing on his trachea. Please keep Cupid in your thoughts. This is going to be a costly vet appointment, as he is seeing a heart specialist, all donations are greatly appreciated.

5/5/10  Cupid saw the heart specialist for an ultra-sound because of what appeared to be a mass near his heart. The good news is that his heart is fine, however his lungs have been severely damaged from the pneumonia and the mass was really a section of his damaged lungs. Due to his collapsed trachea Cupid is not able to fully get rid of the pneumonia and the damage to his lungs is irreversible. We are going to manage Cupid medically with antibiotics and supplements as long as we can. He seems to be responding right now however, he is still coughing and some days he sounds very congested. We are also looking into taking Cupid to a specialist that specializes in the trachea to see if more can be done to help Cupid. Please continue to keep Cupid in your thoughts. He is a fighter but he also needs lots of positive thoughts sent his way and still more medical care.

Cupid on his way to Tufts

6-4-10 Update: Cupid went to Tufts Veterinary School today for a second opinion due to the pneumonia not clearing from his lungs. He was seen by their respiratory specialist. X-rays were taken and Cupid's trachea looks more collapsed then it did a couple months ago but the lungs are the same. There is no further damage to the lungs, but they are still congested. Cupid will be going back tomorrow to have a scope done, using a video camera, of both his trachea and lungs to see exactly what is going on. They will also collect a sample of the mucous to determine the best antibiotic he should be on. Cupid was not strong enough to have this procedure done before. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers because it is still risky as does require him to go under anesthesia. Today was once again a costly vet appointment and tomorrow's procedure is estimated to cost between $500-$600.

 

6-21 Update: Cupid continues to have difficulty breathing because of the severity of his collapsed trachea. After consulting with the specialists at Tufts we have decided to proceed with a trachea operation to help Cupid be able to breath again. This operation is risky however without it Cupid will not have been given a fair chance at a normal life. Right now he is gasping for every breath. Medications are not working as we had hoped. We are having a fundraiser for Cupid to raise the funds for this operation. Anyone who donates a minimum of $15.00 will be mailed a rubber bracelet with "Yorkies Inc." on the outside and "Cupid" on the inside. We hope that you will wear it and show your support for Cupid. Including the consultation, tests that were done (to make sure he was a candidate for the surgery), and the actual surgery we are looking at a vet bill of $3400. We have already spent over $6000 for Cupid and are ready to spend more for this surgery but we need your support to do so. Please consider making a donation towards Cupid's fundraiser to show your support for a little fighter who needs our help again. If you would like daily updates on how Cupid is doing during his surgery and recovery time please become a fan of Yorkies Inc on Facebook. Thank you.
 

Cupid's Surgery Fund Raiser

UPDATE!!!

Yorkie's Inc. Challenge for Cupid!!!!!

Yorkies Inc has been given a challenge and we need your help to succeed.  One of our generous supporters has offered to match our donations up to $1500 for Cupid's surgery! In order for us to meet this challenge we have to collect a minimum of $1500 from all of our other supporters. We are almost there with $1225 in donations, but we still $275 more to win! If we can do this then Cupid's surgery will be taken care of. Thank you to all who have already donated and to those who will be donating to help us win for Cupid!

Update 6/22/10: Thanks to all of you we have already met the Cupid Challenge presented!! We will continue our bracelet fundraiser to cover Cupid's previous expenses and post operative care. Donator's will continue receive a Yorkie's bracelet for donations 15.00 or more. We want to thank our amazing supporters for their generosity in helping little Cupid.

Update 6/23/10:Cupid is on his way to Tufts for his surgery. Due to his difficulty breathing the past few days Yorkies Inc and his surgeon decided it was best to get him in sooner than originally planned as this is putting stress on both his heart and trachea 
Please keep him in your thoughts today. 

Update 6/25 Cupid is home! His surgery went well with no complications. Over the next week we will see how well he adapts to his new stent. The stent is approximately 2/3 of his trachea. He is wheezing some but is no longer hacking and gasping for air. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts. The next week is important for his recovery.

Update: 7/14 It has now been a couple weeks since Cupid's surgery and he continues to do well. He still has coughing episodes at times but nothing like he use to. He is able to breathe and enjoy life. Cupid is now enjoying being a puppy. He is always playing with (bugging) his foster brothers and has recently learned how to squeak a dog toy. The only concern we have is that he still sounds congested at times, this is usually after he has been lying down for a period of time. We took him for x-rays and the trachea stent looks great but there is some congestion in his lungs. He is on a new antibiotic and will go back for x-rays in a couple of weeks to see if the lungs have cleared

Total raised: $2345.

Chompers

Chompers is a 2 1/2 year old male Yorkie who weighs about 4lbs. Chompers was surrendered by his owner due to her not having the time to care for or train Chompers. He is currently being evaluated by a dog trainer for behavioral issues. While Chompers was very lovable to his prior owner and is to his current foster Mom he becomes very protective of his "owner" and will bark, growl, nip and even attempt to bite someone who comes near her while in the house. Chompers responds well to positive reinforcement, such as being given a treat, from someone and takes correction well from his foster Mother such as a little squirt from a water bottle or the stay command. However his new home will need to work further with his training and reinforcements on a consistent basis.
We are looking for a one person household for Chompers.  Ideally this home would have prior experience working with terriers, up for the commitment, a fenced in yard as Chompers loves to run and explore outside, and does not have children visit the house on a consistent basis. His new home must be willing to continue to take Chompers to behavioral training. One other dog in the in the house would be fine as he likes to play with other dogs. Chompers loves to play with squeaky
toys, cuddle on the couch, and go for walks. He does very well in the car but will bark at people when going through a drive through.  He is also house-trained, but would need reinforcement in his new home.

12/20 Chompers has begun to really play with the other dogs in the house. Since this has happened he seems to be more relaxed and comfortable. He is always trying to get one of them to play with him and when that fails he grabs a toy or a chew bone. Chompers is still being protective of his foster Mom however, the intensity has decreased. If he is  very familiar with the other person visiting and they have given him some treats or played toys with him he is much better with them and will not go after them. He may bark at them but this seems to be more out of fear and being unsure.

1/11 Chompers went to the Animal Rescue League for an evaluation. Dr. Marder felt that much of Chomper’s behavioral issues were due to fear. The goal of his training is for Chompers to begin to realize that he does not need to be afraid of people. This consists of a lot of positive reinforcement from people when they enter the home and corrections only from his foster Mom. Chompers is responding well to this however he still has his moments. At those times Chompers is kept on a leash which is working well or confined to a room when he cannot be watched. Chompers is beginning to respond well to stay command.
 
2/23 Update: Chompers continues to make improvement. He is tolerating visitors to the house and beginning to realize that they will give him treats. He is fine with his foster Mother's good friend coming over to visit on a regular basis and does not need to be on a leash. He however still needs work when it is someone he has never met before, for this we do keep him on a leash. Dr. Marder feels that Chompers is doing well and is ready to be adopted by that special person. This special person will live alone, have a fenced in yard, and lots of love to give Chompers. Chompers loves to play with toys, go for rides in the car, and to cuddle with you at night. You will also need to be committed to Chompers and his continued training and learning. If you feel you are that special person please contact his foster Mom.
 
3/12 Chompers went to the groomers and was excellent. Once his foster Mom was out of site he gave the groomers kisses and even rolled over for a belly rub. Chompers has also been going to doggie daycare one day a week and has had no issues. The staff are able to pick him up, pat him and carry him to his foster Mom with no problems. He seems to enjoy running and playing with the other dogs at daycare. The only time we are seeing any major issues is when Chompers is with his foster Mom and someone else that he does not know very well. He then becomes protective of his foster Mom.
 
7/14 Chompers is still looking for the perfect forever home. Chompers continues to improve. Chompers has become a very happy dog who loves to play with other dogs and squeaky toys. He is also always excited when his foster Mom comes home. He does a little dance till she picks him up. He also is one of the first ones at the door when it is time to go for a walk. He is now fine with four different people that visit his foster Mother on a pretty regular basis. It may take him a few minutes to warm up but then he is okay with them and will go over to them to be picked up to have his belly rubbed. His foster Mother no longer needs to really use a squirt bottle to stop his barking or growling. All he needs is to hear a sharp "no bark" and he stops and comes over to her. He is even taking treats from strangers at the dog park. Chompers is doing well and we feel he is ready for his new home as long as they realize he will always have trust issues with strangers. Because of this he will always need to be under supervision during these times.

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.
