Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie in North Carolina

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.

North Carolina has one of the largest rescue dog populations in the country, with high-need rural shelters across the state. Active organizations in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville partner with rescues nationwide for transport. A rescued North Carolina dog often comes from a high-volume rural shelter.
