Buster Brown - He is a very sweet 7 year old boy (born 7/26/03) that weighs 7 lbs. We think he is an Affenpinscher/Yorkie mix. He has a beautiful coat and a gentle and timid spirit. He is afraid of thunder and loud noises so would do best in an all adult home without a lot of commotion. He also gets along quite well with other calm dogs. He is neutured, vaccinated and received a dental cleaning all this past June 2010. He is microchipped and very healthy. He does need a bit of help with housebreaking but will use pee wee pads. Loves to be outdoors but will need a secure fenced in yard or lania. Just the sweetest little boy you'll ever meet. He was dumped by owner because they purchased a younger smaller dog. So sad. They gave up an incredibly sweet little boy.

*If we do not have an FYR Representative in your area to do home visits, you cannot adopt from us. Please email us before filling out an application to determine if you are located outside of our area. Most of our yorkies are adopted to residents along the east coast of Florida. We do NOT have a Representative in Miami!
*Because the full past history of a rescue yorkie can never be known fully, it is our policy not to adopt to families with small children under the age of 12.
WONDERING WHY YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CONTACTED YET?
* We are getting many calls asking for our address. We do not have a location that can be visited by the public. Our yorkies are all in foster care in private homes. Please fill out an online adoption application to be considered.
Some of you on our waiting list have called to say you continue to see new yorkies posted on our site for adoption and wonder why you have not been contacted about them.
Our goal is to find the perfect family for our dogs. If you have stated you have cats, we then must find a yorkie who is cat friendly.
If you have stated you want a dog that is totally housebroken, then we must wait until one becomes available.
If you have other dogs already living in your home, we need to find a yorkie that is pet friendly.
There can be many reasons why you may still be on our waiting list. Some applicants simply will not have the opportunity to adopt one of our rescue dogs. This is why we recommend that each and every applicant that applies continues their search for a rescue dog by also logging onto www.petfinder.com or www.adoptapet.com Thank you for your patience.
PLEASE READ BEFORE FILLING OUT AN APPLICATION
Senior Dogs: Do you know that Yorkies typically live to be 15 years old? Some can live longer! Don’t miss out on a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of these dogs just because of a number. If you are considered a senior citizen, please consider a dog that will be compatible with your age and home.
WE RARELY GET IN PUPPIES.
ADOPTION PENDING? Adoption Pending means we have chosen a family for that particular dog. The final adoption will go through based on a successful home visit. There are many variables involved in a home visit; a safe environment, compatibility with other pets, and compatibility with the new owners.
Florida Yorkie Rescue has a 100% adoption rate! All of our dogs find incredible homes. Please be aware that we do NOT ship our dogs. We only adopt within the State of Florida in certain areas where we have a FYR Representative to do the mandatory home visit. Our adoption fees are based on each dog's age and Vet bills.
NOT ALL APPLICANTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADOPT A YORKIE. WE INTERVIEW, CHECK REFERENCES AND DO HOME VISITS.
We never know when more dogs will be arriving... one day our nest is empty, the next day we're full... so please fill out an online adoption application and we will notify you. Our focus is not finding the right yorkie for a home, but finding the right home for each and every yorkie.
Our volunteer list continues to grow.
Want to become a volunteer with FYR?
Do you live in Palm City, Stuart or Port St. Lucie?
Please apply if interested.
WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY YORKIES AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! SORRY. PLEASE CHECK BACK FREQUENTLY.
Introducing Deisel.... he is 7 years old and weighs a tiny 3.7 lbs. He needs to gain at least a pound and our Vet suggested that his ideal weight should be around 5 lbs. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, has had a recent dental cleaning, is micro-chipped and Heartworm negative. Our Vet says he is pretty healthy, although he does have a few teeth missing. He comes with all lof his personal bedding and two crates. He is a very sweet boy, a bit shy at first and loves to be cuddled. We have been told he was at one time housebroken but recently has not been doing well in that department due to the arrival of a new baby in his previous home. We think once he is adopted he will fall back into his good habits with just a bit of gentle prodding and a good schedule. Since he has been with us he has had no accidents. If interested, please fill out an online adoption application.
