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

Adoption Fee: $350
Fostered in Texas
Age: 5 years
Weight: 4.2 lbs.
5/7/15 - Boo.... did I scare you? I’m sorry, I was just trying to introduce myself. I’ll start over. My name is Boo Bear and I’m a sweet, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde yorkie. First, I’m a sweetheart, cute and very low-key. On the flip side, I can be a little bitchy. What? A bitchy yorkie? It’s unheard of!
Ok, truthfully, let me just go on and tell you about myself. I love to be outside with my person. I do enjoy the great outdoors and the funny thing is that outside, I am fun loving, personable, and a really normal gal. When I’m inside, if I am laying down (which is always on the sofa, back of the sofa, a blanket or a chair), I will growl and try to bite if you come near me or try to pick me up. Foster mom says it is the strangest thing, but I become fearful at that time. I am not growling or lunging out of aggression, because I am definitely not an alpha. And foster mom has learned me quickly and caught onto what works. Here's the secret: be firm but delicate with me. Not sure what in my past has caused me to be this way, but a firm, but delicate “No, Boo Bear” in a lower voice makes me realize that you aren’t happy with my behavior and quiets me down.
I don’t mind you sitting by me and like to be rubbed. I guess where ever I am “perched” is my domain and you have to know the password to enter my domain. Another weird thing is that I’m not a walk-about baby. I’m not one of those needy girls that follows you from room to room and has to be everywhere you are. I like to just sit on my space and watch the goings and comings. At night time when foster mom says it’s time to go to bed, I will follow her and wait to be picked up and put in bed. I do like sleeping with my people.
I’m also not a fan of other dogs. I’m not mean to them, just don’t want them around me, near me, touching me, breathing the same air I breathe, etc. You get the idea! To that end, I would do best in a home with no other dogs or possibly a very old senior one that I think is a statute. Children are definitely a no-no since I do not like any kind of raised energy in the house.
I really believe, and so does my foster mom and dad, that I will come around and could quite possibly be a typical spoiled yorkie. But for now, with whatever I’ve been through that makes me this way, you will have to take it slow and accept me for the unperfect/perfect baby that I am. With that being said, my next owner will need to take a few pointers from my foster mom and stand firm with me and not let my Dr. Jekyll part scare you off. She is opening me up to new things and this is the only thing that is going to help me. So, patient pet parents committed to providing me with structure, routine and positive reinforcement is a necessity.
I do like the occasional petting and love, but aren’t in the cuddly, lap dog state yet and it may be a while before I’m considered that much of a mush. A fenced in yard is not a necessity since I do fine on a leash (but do get spooked if you accidentally let the leash touch my back or booty). Oh, I have forgotten the most important thing, I absolutely adore my foster dad. Seems I more so come alive when he enters the room. What can I say, I like the men. So if I could have one of those in my next home, I’d truly appreciate it.
I'm quite sure there are a million people out there just dying to adopt me. Lol. No really, I’m a quirky, eccentric lady and I’m sure my mirror parents are out there somewhere.
5/7/15 - BIO COMING SOON!
**Boo Bear will need to be an only dog - exceptions would possibly be 1 senior dog in the home**
