1. A Dean Martin

He is 5 years old and weighs 9 pounds.
His adoption fee is $650.00.
Introducing Dean Martin or Dino as we call him! He’s a 9 pound Yorkie we guess is between five and seven years old. He’s very curious and playful. He likes to play fetch, tug-of-war, and enjoys a good brisk walk through the neighborhood. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys a good snuggle on the couch with his human. He’s all up-to-date on his shots, has been neutered and is ready for adoption. He is very new to our rescue so we will update his bio as we get to know him a little better.

Adopting a dog in Northampton County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
