Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie in New York

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.

New York has a dedicated rescue dog community, with major organizations in New York City and throughout the state. Many NYC-area rescues transport dogs from overcrowded Southern shelters, giving adopters access to a wide variety of breeds.
