Yorkshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania

Meet Mama Gertie 💕

Mama Gertie is a 10‑year‑old Yorkie with the softest heart and the most extraordinary story. She was rescued after a backyard breeder passed away, leaving behind a group of Yorkies with nowhere to go. Mama Gertie made her way to ACCT Philly, and from there, safely into our care.

Not long after arriving, we discovered Mama Gertie was pregnant. Sadly, we also learned she had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Despite the risks stacked against her, this little mama showed incredible strength - she survived labor and lovingly raised her own puppy, along with another orphaned pup, proving just how special she truly is.

Mama Gertie is everything gentle and good. She adores other dogs, does wonderfully with cats, and loves kids of all ages. She hates being alone and is happiest when she’s close to her people or other dogs. She’s quiet, barely barks, does well with puppy pads, and is an easy, comforting presence in the home.

She can be a bit particular about her food and should remain on her Royal Canin diet, which works best for her.

Above all, Mama Gertie is looking for what she deserves most: a loving, compassionate hospice home where she can be cherished, spoiled, and surrounded by love in her final chapter.

Mama Gertie is perfect—exactly as she is. And for the right home, caring for her would be an honor.

Due to her fragile heart and with the vet's advice, she has not been spayed. She will come vaccinated and chipped.
