Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Update 6/16/15: My name is Tammy and I’m a 6 pound, 3-4 year old yorkie girl, who was just rescued from a life of breeding and is being fostered in Shiloh, Illinois. As you can see in my before and after pictures, I had to be shaved due to some matting, but my hair will grow back long and pretty, trust me. First off, I’ve had all my shots now, and just got spayed, so no more having puppies for me. Some things to know about my personality are that I just absolutely LOVE other doggies and would really love a home with a younger doggy my size and age to play with. I’ve been trying to play with my sisters I live with, but they are older and just grumble at me. I’m very excited to be free and have a new life and I just want to play and have fun! However, I’m still learning to trust people, so with people I’m a little shy. I do like to be held and will melt right into your arms. I cannot walk on a leash yet, and I’m slowly trying to learn stairs. So far I have only had 1 accident in the house, and I potty whenever I am taken outside. Everything is new to me and I’m very curious, but I do need time to adjust so I will need patient parents.
