Yorkie adult or puppy wanted in Michigan

[Milenka]

We recently lost our 3 pound Yorkie, Rupert, barely 2.5 years into his little life. He was at a 'sleepover' at my mom's house with her dogs, and she found him locked in his crate in the morning, already gone. We had no warning at all, which I suppose is how it often plays out. We adopted Rupert as a puppy a few months after my grandmother passed away. We were all grieving, and he had been born on her date of death. That little fluffball got us through not only her death, but also years of Infertility and 8 miscarriages.

We have two other small dogs, whom we love dearly, and we are not in any sort of rush to find another Yorkie. We are looking, though, just in case the right dog comes along somehow. We kind of assume that we're not going to find another 3 pound Yorkie in our current budget plan, but it never hurts to look. To be honest, the only reason we could afford Rupert in the first place was due to a small inheritance left by my Grandmother.

Ideally, we hope to adopt an older (6 months to 6 years) Yorkie, though we're open to a puppy. Size is probably our biggest factor, as we are looking for another small Yorkie, no larger than 3-3.5 pounds when grown. We have no preference on gender, though it would be optimal if the dog were already altered. Rupert didn't get neutered until he was 6 months old, and there was a mixup with the pet sitter that resulted in Bear, our Pom/Yorkie mix. We've learned our lesson and certainly would be spaying/neutering as early as our vet agreed to do it. As far as location goes, we have heard that shipping is quite expensive and would prefer to avoid that. We have looked into Yorkie rescues, but they are unwilling to adopt such small dogs out to people who have children or may have them in the future. I disagree with that mindset, as Rupert and our other 2 dogs (both 5-6 pounds) have always been fabulous with children who have been taught how to treat a pet.

Thank you for taking the time to read all of this. If you have a dog for sale or know of one, then I look forward to hearing from you. If you cannot help, then I also understand. Take care.

I have a Yorkie for sale in Indiana, where are you located in Michigan? I could meet you in Ft Wayne. I have done that before for someone who bought from me in Michigan. I wont ship my babies but will meet you. I have AKC yorkie girls and their mom is 4.35lbs and dad is 3.5lbs. The largest one they have had as adults weighed 4lbs and the smallest as an adult is 2 1/2lbs.
They are $1200 and have a nice thick coat. Parents are black and gold.
Let me know if you are interested. They are 8 weeks old today and I will probably keep them until they are 10-12 weeks old.
Thanks
Jill

Hi again. I just wanted to update to say that we're still looking for another Yorkie as described above. We cannot afford to pay anything even remotely near $1k+, but I would appreciate any leads on a dog who is just looking for a loving but non-wealthy home. Thanks again.

I just wanted to say that we're still looking for a Yorkie as described below. We do not want to ship and are looking in the Michigan area or within a decent driving distance. We would prefer an adult or young adult, but we're open to a puppy if the circumstances are right. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi,
I am so sorry to hear what happened. I have a little boy available right now. I live in Indiana. Not sure how far North you are in Michigan, but I could meet you near Ft. Wayne Indiana if you would like. I can email you a picture of my little one. He will most likely be in the 3-4lb range as an adult. Daisy & Jakes past litters have never gotten to the 4lb mark, usually between 3 & 3 3/4lbs.
You can see him on my Nursery Post that says Daisy & Jakes boys at 8 1/2 weeks. Go to the 3rd page and his picture is posted with his brother. The one that is still available is on the left. He will be 10 weeks old tomorrow. Has his second set of shots and been checked completely by a vet. I have references available and a 1 year health guarantee. Several YT members have my babies.
Let me know if you are interested.
Thank you!
Jill
