Frequently asked questions:

What will happen to my Yorkie after surrendering him or her to Yorkie Rescue?

1.  When will my Yorkie be adopted: How long are you still able to keep your doggy with you before he needs his new home? Does he need emergency medical care? The answers to these questions and a few others will help us determine whether to place him first in approved temporary foster care or directly to his new loving forever home. We act as fast as necessary.

2. Do I have a choice as to the new home: Although we are very experienced at finding the perfect new family for a Yorkshire Terrier, we acknowledge that you know your doggy best and that you are the best source of information that we can use to help us find him the most suitable home. We discuss the potential pre-approved homes with you and consider any pros and cons with you.

3. How much does it cost to surrender my Yorkie: There is no charge to you, we would never want to discourage helping a doggy in need by putting a price on it. We do incur costs in the process, but we usually find that we are able to cover these costs with the adoption fee to the new family. After we have discussed to process with you, and we begin the process of finding your doggy a new home, if you then decide to cancel using our services a cancellation fee becomes applicable.

4. What must I give when I hand over my Yorkie: That is totally up to you. Many parents who have surrendered there doggy want to buy new things for their doggy as parting gifts, but please remember not to throw your doggy's old things away. His old blanket or dog bed will be familiar to him in his new surrounds and can help him to relax with the old familiar smells of his own bed. After it is clear that your Yorkie is relaxed and happy his new bed and toys should be gradually introduced to him.

We help to ease your already stressful situation and always put your doggy's interests first. We never want a doggy to have to go to a shelter we he gets impersonal food and shelter. All our temporary foster families really love animals a lot and go the extra mile to make them happy and give them the care that they need. In many cases we find our Yorkies their perfect new forever homes directly from their previous home, thereby eliminating undue stress, especially for older doggies needing to adapt to their new surroundings. We have countless special success stories to tell.
