My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Initial Bio 04/29/15: Phoebe is a little delightful, spayed and microchipped, 6-year old 6 1/2 pound female Yorkie who came to UYR on April 25th as a breeder release. She lives with her foster parents in Beach Park, IL and three other Yorkies.

She gets along well with other dogs but she has not been in an environment with cats so I’m not sure if she would get along with them or not. I would highly recommend that she go to an adult home or a home with older children. Because she likes to be outdoors in the fresh air, a fenced back yard would be preferred with no gaps or holes that she could sneak through to any danger.

Phoebe loves attention but isn’t really a lap dog or cuddler probably because of the previous environment she was in. I believe she could be quite the little love bug given time.

She and her foster sister, Little Debbie are learning to master the stairs to the upper level as they love to follow me all over the house. They are doing quite well with the stairs in the short time I’ve had them.

Phoebe loves to eat but because her foster sister is a little piglet and eats her food so quickly, she tries to eat Phoebe’s food as well and I have to monitor meal times because Phoebe will just move over and let her foster sister have it all.

Phoebe is just a delightful little lady and cute as a button. She is looking for her furever home with lots of love and TLC.
