Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Initial Bio 04/29/15: Little Debbie is an adorable, spayed and microchipped, 6-year old 6 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 is a sweet and loving little girl who demands attention for herself when you try to love the other babies in the household. Although she gets along well with other dogs she wants to be the center of the loving. Although she isn’t a “lap dog” I think she very well could be. I think she just hasn’t been in an environment where she was held and cuddled a lot. I think I could probably fix that if she stayed with me very long, but as adorable and sweet as this little lady is, I know I won’t get to keep her long before she is adopted.
Little Debbie is very active so she does need a home with a fenced yard and no gaps or holes in the fence because she is tiny and could slip through to danger. I would highly recommend that she be adopted by someone with no small children in the home. An adult home or home with older children would be best for her and depending on the personality of any other pets in the home, they may or may not tolerate her aggression to be the center of attention.
Eating has not been an issue for Little Debbie. She gobbles up her food and tries to eat everyone else’s around her.
She and her foster sister, Phoebe are mastering the stairs and doing a great job I might add. They follow me all over the house now.
Little Debbie is looking for a home with lots of love and attention and of course yummy kibbles.
