Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie in Illinois

Yorkshire Terriers — Yorkies — are tiny, brave, and full of personality, with silky coats and surprisingly bold temperaments. They appear in rescue when owners are overwhelmed by grooming or training needs. A rescued Yorkie thrives in a doting, attentive home.

Illinois has a large rescue dog community, with Chicago and the surrounding suburbs home to dozens of active rescues and shelters. Downstate organizations in Springfield, Peoria, and Champaign also serve large populations. A rescued Illinois dog typically comes from an active, well-connected organization.
