Rehome Your Yorkie: A Private, Home-to-Home Pathway
Deciding to rehome your Yorkshire Terrier is never easy. If you’re facing a change in circumstances — a move, emigration, or simply no longer having the time your Yorkie deserves — Yorkie Rehoming & Adoptions offers a private, 100% cage-free rehoming alternative built specifically around this breed’s needs, not a generalist rescue process.
As a specialist division of Small Dog Adoptions & Rehoming, we bring the same rigorous home-to-home standard to Yorkshire Terriers and Yorkie crosses specifically — with a deeper focus on this breed’s particular grooming, temperament, and companionship needs than a general small-breed service can offer.
How Our 3-Step Rehoming Process Works
01
Submit the Confidential Form
Start by filling out our secure, judgment-free rehoming application. Tell us all about your Yorkshire Terrier’s unique personality, daily routine, and medical history so we know exactly what they need to thrive.
02
Profile Creation
We create a beautiful, anonymous profile for your Yorkie, highlighting their unique personality and needs to present to our private database of pre-screened, Yorkie-experienced families.
03
Family Vetting
Our specialists personally interview and verify every prospective home, screening for experience, environment, and lifestyle to ensure a safe, right match for your Yorkie’s specific needs.
04
The Couch-to-Couch Handover
Once an approved family is selected, your Yorkshire Terrier transitions directly from your loving arms to their new family’s couch. There are no stressful shelters, no cold kennels, and absolutely no gaps in their care.

Total Privacy, From First Enquiry to Final Handover
Every detail you share stays strictly between you and our team — never posted publicly, never shared on social media groups. Your Yorkie remains on your own couch, in their own routine, right up until the moment they move directly into their new family’s home. No Cages. No waiting rooms. No public exposure of your situation.

Why Owners Choose Us Over a Traditional Rescue
We’re not a shelter, and we don’t operate like one. Every match is built around your Yorkie’s specific personality and needs, not simply the next available applicant — and your privacy is protected at every step, from intake through to the final handover.
