Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie

ADOPTION PENDING IF HOME VISIT APPROVED

Rambo is only 4.5 lbs and 4 yrs old. We rescued him from being a breeding dog in a puppy mill. Imagine this tiny 4lb dog being out in blizzards, laying on metal wire!! We don't know how he survived, except that he is truly a Rambo! He endured getting most of his teeth removed and neutering, and all shots.. We paid for all of this and yet his adoption fee is only $400, which obviously doesn't pay our vet bill! He's a sweet spunky little guy who will blossom now that he isn't in constant pain from his rotten teeth. He needs a home with another teeny dog or two as he likes to play with the other yorkies in the foster home. He loves to run around in the fenced yard with them so we'd like that for him. He isn't housebroken yet and we've asked the foster mom to start to pad train him, but he will have to be housebroken by his adopter, someone who will have to be home to do that. So if you are home, have another teeny dog or two and want a playmate, why don't you apply to adopt Rambo? But only if you meet his needs! To see how to adopt, read below.....

ADOPTION PROCEDURE AND GENERAL INFORMATION:

Each dog is vaccinated, heartworm tested, spayed or neutered, given all shots and if needed, a dental and any surgery is done, all for the bargain price of a few hundred. Not a bargain? Think again. Call your local vet and see how much these items would cost if you did them yourself at the vets. Our adoption fees do not even cover the vet costs!

WE ARE NOT A SHELTER YOU CAN VISIT

WE ARE A RESCUE, A NON-PROFIT VOLUNTEER NETWORK OF PRIVATE FOSTER HOMES in VARIOUS NJ and PA LOCATIONS. Our mailing address is for mail only and there are NO adoptable pets there. There is no shelter to visit. You need to follow our application procedure explained below in order to adopt from us. Please read this before you write to ask how to adopt. It is all explained!!!.
Because these dogs are in private homes, only qualified potential adopters can meet the dog. To qualify for this, we need an application, a vet history we discuss with your vet, and a home inspection.
Every adoption from SOS DOGS includes a FREE DVD on training your adopted dog, a new toy for your dog, a folder with information on health, safety and training, and help from our experienced dog people for as long as you need it.

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW TO SEE HOW TO ADOPT

REQUIREMENTS TO ADOPT FROM SOS DOGS:

• 
  VET HISTORY: You must be an experienced dog owner with a vet history we can discuss with your vet. We do not adopt to first time pet owners. We look to see that your current or previous dog(s) was altered, kept up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative, and received all recommended care when ill.
  


• 
  NO LARGE DOGS: Large dogs often see little dogs as prey or can inadvertently hurt the little ones, even if they don't mean to. We often make exceptions for gentle dogs like labs and goldens.
  


• 
  NO CHILDREN UNDER 5: Children can also inadvertently hurt a tiny dog
  


• 
  NO ELECTRIC FENCE: No invisible fence as we feel the shock collar is cruel and it doesn't prevent predators from coming in.
  


• 
  COME TO NJ: You must be able to come to southern or central NJ where most dogs are fostered.
  


• 
  ELIMINATION CONSIDERATIONS: NO small dog can hold it's urine for 8-9 hours while someone is at work all day, and we can't place a dog with that expectation. Small dogs can go to working homes if you are willing to train the dog to use newspaper or pads and there is another dog to keep the dog company. Dogs are pack animals and do not like being alone.
