Here's what the humans have to say about me:
5/22/15 - I'VE BEEN ADOPTED!
Adoption Fee: $200
Fostered in Texas
Age: 9 years
Weight: 2.3 lbs.
1/19/15 - Ok, seems that I’m in the market for a new home. My previous owner, whom I had been with all my life, was sick and could not take care of me, so she reached out to people who reached out to rescue. I really loved my first mom and we shared a lot of quality time together since I am lap baby and she was in the bed a lot from her sickness. These people at YHR have asked me to let you know a little about myself so everyone will understand the next home that I want.
Let’s see.... for starters, I’m a confident, cocky, fearless, little man that doesn’t realize his size and weight. I love spending time with my humans. I will probably do better in a home being the only dog or with a very laid back dog that doesn’t mind me getting all the attention. Not the greatest at sharing my people and can show a tad of a snake attack if another pup thinks they are going to move in on my lap and time. I love sleeping in bed with my people, but here at my foster home, the other pups are in the bed as well and that does not please me.
I only have 4 teeth left. Yes, that’s what I said, 4 teeth. So I like my food to be the soft version. I’m a very small tyke, so potty trips need to be often. Just imagine that my bladder is the size of pea (no pun intended). I do my business great when brought outside, and since it has been so cold and wet, I rush right back to the door. I love following my person everywhere or sitting next to them. I’m not shy about eye contact and will initiate play by bringing you a toy. If you are busy, I’m content to play with toys by myself. I do love me some toys.
I know I’m small, but I think it best if I have a secure yard as opposed to having to walk on a harness and leash. Without being secured, I would probably run off, and I might not take fondly to having to be on the end of a long string each time I need to tinkle or poop. Gotta have a little privacy you know. If you have some errands to run where they allow dogs, I’m not opposed to being carried around in one of those prissy bags, or, in my eyes, a man tote.
I do like to shower my human(s) with kisses, but with only the 4 teeth, my tongue comes out to the side and my kisses are sideways. It’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen. I have no problem letting you know when someone is at the door. I’m not scared to bark and try to scare the dogs next door by barking at them. But, of course, my bark is cute.
Since I am so small, definitely no children in the house or that visit a lot. Also, picking me up and putting me down on and off furniture is the best, but puppy stairs by the sofa and bed are probably best so I won’t be tempted to jump. That is very bad on the legs, and at my appointment at GCVS with Dr. Beale to check on my aging legs and joints, he told me that I have bad luxating patellas. Nothing that he thinks need surgery at this time, but my back legs are a stiff. He feels that I have had this for a while now and compensate for it. My foster mom has been instructed to watch me closely, as will my new parents need to do, for any changes or signs of uncomfortableness. You never know, I could be a candidate, as could all yorkies, for surgery later on and my new parents will need to be ready and willing to take this on. I personally don’t think it is too much to ask since I will be your child and you will love me so much that you will do anything for me.
So, let me break this down for you:
- Only dog preferred, or another laid back, non caring pup that doesn’t mind if I boss it.
- NO CHILDREN!!!
- Fenced in back yard, doesn’t have to be huge, just need a yard to call my own.
- Parents that realize and are good with me being a confident little rat.
- Parents that realize that I’m going to sleep with them.
- Parents that will feed me soft food
- Parents that will be proud to take x-mas photos with me smiling with only 4 teeth in my head.
- Parents that will buy me toys, toys, and more toys.
- Parents that will take care of me medically in the future for whatever life brings me.
In return, you will be some really lucky people and I will love you with my whole heart. Who could ask for more?
