Helping Yorkies Across South Africa 🐾

SA Yorkie Rescue (SAYR) is a Yorkshire Terrier rescue and rehoming organisation helping Yorkie-type doggies across South Africa find safe, loving and suitable homes. Whether you are hoping to view Yorkies for adoption in South Africa, apply to adopt a Yorkie, or need compassionate guidance to rehome a Yorkie safely because your circumstances have changed, our team is here to help you take the next step.

Every Yorkie is matched with care — based on temperament, needs, location and what a family can genuinely offer. SA Yorkie Rescue coordinates Yorkie adoption and rehoming across Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Free State, North West, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Northern Cape.
