Surrender Your YorkieOKYR. is a not-for-profit organization that assists displaced Yorkie dogs in finding new homes. But that is not all we do. OKYR considers educating the public about the Yorkie breed, to be just as important. We have reading material available and many resources to help identify Yorkies in danger of losing their homes. Our goal is to keep as many Yorkies as we can, out of rescue and shelters and in the loving arms of their families. Please visit this link before filling out our surrender form at the bottom of this page.Can you answer "YES" to any of the questions below?Did you acquire your Yorkie from a Breeder? If so, have you contacted that person? If he or she is at all reputable, you would have signed a contract at the time you purchased your Yorkie puppy, stipulating that the dog should be returned if you decide to no longer keep him. If you do not want to keep your Yorkie dog, contact your breeder first. Did you acquire your Yorkie from a rescue organization?I f so, have you contacted that rescue organization? If they are reputable, you would have signed a contract at the time you adopted your Yorkie, stipulating that the dog must be returned to them if you decide to no longer keep him or her for any reason. New baby in the family?How lucky for you that Yorkies are fantastic family dogs! If you can take care of your new little human baby, you can take care of a dog. Some of our educational materials are listed below: Introduce New Baby to a Resident Dog Moving?There are plenty of apartments, townhouses, condos and hotels that accept small and medium breeds of dog. Many places will even allow you to spread payment of your pet deposit over multiple months as part of your rent. Here is a list of rentals that allow pets: Are there behavioral issues? Is your dog having trouble getting along with other animals in the household or are there other behavioral issues that have led to the decision to give up your dog? If so, let us help you.
