He’s neutered. He’s a great dog, loves everyone, very playful! It’s just that we work a lot and have a little baby now so it’s hard to give him the attention he needs. We paid $800 for him in TX, he’s papered and chipped…. he does potty in the house still sometimes….
Personally, I would be more interested in him getting a good home that how much you can make from him. I find it so hard that people will get a puppy, and then just don't want it any more. You planned on him before you planned your baby. If you are making plans to care for your baby, why can't you make plans to care for your dog? I have always had dogs, and I had babies too. The thought of getting rid of my dog never entered my mind

Probably about $500.00?
i think its a fair price if you got all the shots papered and microchipped done don’t you think?
I really hope he goes to a good family =]

He’s not totally housebroken? I would think that you’d try to give him a good home!
But if money’s that important to you, ask for a small re homing fee. I wouldn’t ask for more than $150, well, I personally wouldn’t ask anything at all… but if you insist, no more than that.
You bought a purebreed for $800, but a dog isn’t something that you can just resell and expect to get a decent price for. Unless he was a show dog, who was of “show quality” and you were selling him to a breeder, you’re not going to get close to the $800 you spent.

$150 tops. That's a reasonable adoption fee.
I think it's disgusting that people can buy a puppy, get tired of it years later when it's "not cute anymore," and then think they can charge someone else as much as they paid for it when 1) it's NOT a puppy anymore and 2) it's not *quite* housetrained. He gave you 2 good years and now you're dumping him and trying to profit from it?? Pitiful.
If the papers aren't AKC, they aren't worth mentioning.
And there's no such thing as a miniature yorkshire terrier; the Yorkie comes in only ONE size.
Why don't you focus on finding him a GOOD home that can give him a loving home for the rest of his life? Is that not the most important thing?

In all honesty:
For a *TWO* year old dog that isn’t house broken, and the fact that you claim he’s a “Miniature” (which by breed standards, does not exist- you purchased and are rehoming a badly bred runt), I wouldn’t pay more than $150 dollars at most.
Papers don’t mean anything regardless of breed- and the fact that he’s neutered (which I greatly applaud) takes the papers out of the discussion. He can’t be shown because he’s out of standards and neutered.
He’s past the “puppy” stage, which lowers the initial value.
I’m sure he’s a wonderful dog, but don’t worry about the MONEY basis of rehoming him. Worry about finding him an excellent home. If you can’t find one, look for Yorkshire Terrier breed rescues in your area.

Most people want puppies. You are going to have a hard time finding him a home no matter what you charge. The idea that you will get anything close to what you paid for him is almost laughable.
That said, you should NOT give him away for free. Free dogs are often picked up by people who plan to use them in animal testing and the like. You should charge a minimum of $50 for him. The exact amount depends on your area. Look at what others are charging for altered adult purebreds in your area, and charge something in the middle. Where I live, the right amount in $100. However, where I used to live in rural Virginia, the most you could get was $50.
I would recommend creating an account on Dogster, and listing him as needing a home. Take lots of good/cute pictures, as this will help you find him a new home.
You can also advertise in your local paper. Some newspapers have online web sites where you can advertise your rehomed pet for free. Others will require you to pay a small fee to list your dog.
Don’t rule out friends and family members, either. Even if you’re sure none of them want him, they can talk to their friends and co-workers to help you find a home for your dog. This is your MOST VALUABLE resource.
If none of that works, you can check to see if there are any breed-specific rescues in your area. They can help you find a home for him by advertising your dog on their site, etc. In this case, they usually determine how much his new owner will pay, and they may even dictate that they get the money (not you).
