Yorkie Puppy for Adoption — Mico, 11 Weeks Old
This listing sets out everything we know about Mico as a yorkie puppy for adoption — temperament, paperwork, and what happens after you enquire.
Read on for the full detail on this yorkie puppy for adoption, including the questions most buyers only think to ask later.
Meet Mico
Mico is an 11-week-old male Yorkshire Terrier and the most people-oriented puppy in his litter. He follows whoever is in the room, he is first to the door when someone comes in, and he would happily sleep on a lap all afternoon.
He has grown up in our living room in Lena, Louisiana, handled every day, and has never known anything other than a busy family home.
Adoption, and being honest about the word
People often search for a Yorkie “for adoption” when what they mean is a puppy from a breeder. If you genuinely want to adopt, we would point you at Yorkshire Terrier rescue first — there are excellent adult Yorkies waiting and they cost a fraction of a puppy.
What Mico offers is different: a puppy raised from birth in a family home, with documented veterinary care and a written guarantee behind him. Both are good choices. They are not the same choice, and we would rather say so.
Who this yorkie puppy for adoption suits
Mico is well matched to a household where somebody is usually home — a retired owner, someone working from home, or a family with older children. His attachment to people is his best quality and also the thing to plan around: he would find a ten-hour empty house genuinely hard.
Health records for this yorkie puppy for adoption
Mico has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, with age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming completed and recorded. His records travel with him. He will not be released before twelve weeks. Microchipping is arranged on request, at cost.
What comes with Mico
- Veterinary examination certificate and vaccination record
- Deworming history
- Written 14-day money-back guarantee
- Signed adoption agreement, sent before any deposit
- Two weeks of the food he is already eating
- A blanket carrying his littermates’ scent
Bringing your yorkie puppy for adoption home
Collect in person in Louisiana at no cost, or we arrange in-cabin flight nanny or climate-controlled ground transport across the USA and Canada. Quoted in writing before any deposit, with nothing added later.
Teacup Yorkies: what the word actually means
Families searching for a yorkie puppy for adoption often search for teacup Yorkies in the same breath, so it is worth being direct about the term.
Teacup is not a recognised size
No kennel club anywhere recognises teacup Yorkies as a classification. The Yorkshire Terrier sits in the Toy Group, and the breed standard places an adult at up to seven pounds. Anything marketed as a teacup is simply a small Yorkshire Terrier with a premium attached to the word.
Why the label costs buyers money
Dogs sold as teacup Yorkies routinely carry several hundred dollars of markup, and extreme miniaturisation raises the risk of hypoglycaemia, dental crowding, fragile bones and anaesthetic complications. We set out those risks in full here.
Where Mico sits
He is not bred or sold as one of the teacup Yorkies you will see advertised elsewhere. He is a properly proportioned toy-group dog, and we do not charge a premium for the word.
Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale: what to check before you buy
Whether you choose Mico or buy elsewhere, the same checks apply to any Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale you are considering.
Ask for photographs of that exact puppy
Anyone advertising Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale should be able to send you fresh photographs of the specific puppy on request. Stock photography lifted from another website is the single clearest warning sign there is.
Ask what the paperwork covers
Genuine Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale come with a veterinary examination certificate, a vaccination record and a written agreement. Read the guarantee before you pay a deposit, not after. Our guide to spotting a real breeder covers the rest.
Ask how delivery is quoted
Transport for Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale should be quoted in writing up front. Costs that appear after a deposit are the most common way buyers lose money.
Every yorkie puppy for adoption we place leaves with the same paperwork and the same written guarantee.
Yorkie puppy for adoption, or Yorkie rescue? Both are valid
People searching for a Yorkie puppy for adoption usually mean one of two quite different things, and it is worth separating them before you commit.
Rescue adoption means taking an adult or senior Yorkshire Terrier from a breed rescue. It costs a fraction of a puppy, it saves a dog that genuinely needs a home, and you get a known temperament rather than a guess. If that is what you want, we would encourage it and point you toward Yorkshire Terrier rescue groups first.
Adopting a puppy from a breeder means starting from the beginning: you shape the socialising, you know the full health history, and you get twelve to sixteen years rather than six. It costs more and it demands considerably more work in the first year.
Neither is the superior choice. They are different choices, and a breeder who will not say so is selling rather than advising. Mico is the second kind.
