Default Great Yorkie Rescue League in MidAtlantic area

All 3 of our Yorkies came from YorkieRescueMe.com. They do take dogs from other areas. They keep the dogs in foster homes until they find a permanent home for the dog. All of our Yorkies have/had issues: Zoee had food and pollen allergies and she was given so many steriods that she became a type 2 diabetic. She was owned by a VA familiy who did not have the time to give her the proper care and attention she needs. Mama Leeza was a puppy mill mama and she might not ever learn to pee and poop outside having lived in a cage where she did everything for years. Her paws were so not used to grass, decks, patios or sidewalks that she got cysts on them, but she is much better now. Our boy Darby was born with an underdeveloped left eye and eye socket. He has no vision on the left. He came to yorkierescueme.com from a rescue league in TN that got him from a puppy mill, but teh TN league had trouble placing him. Darby was in foster care at yorkierescueme.com for 10 months until we saw him and thought he would like to be with our two girl yorkies. If you can't find a home or a rescue league, try yorkierescueme.com.
All the dogs are kept in loving homes. We met all the foster mothers for our dogs at their homes and they are very perceptive and understanding. They would place your dog in a home where its needs would be well met and they charge an adoption fee to adopters. They have yorkies of their own and gave us a great background on each dog, its needs, and it habits. Their are lots of people for whom one Yorkie is enough. Good luck and I hope everything works out for the best for you and your dogs.
