Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This is Dexter, a 6 year old Yorkie (maybe mix) who loves to cuddle with his human/s. Dexter really enjoys going for walks but absolutely LOVES riding in the car. He’s potty trained and is not destructive when left alone in the house. He gets along with other dogs outside of the home but has a tendency to be very cranky about sharing food and toys with his foster mom's dog so we think he will be happiest in a home where he is the only dog... but he gets along with cats. Dexter needs a home without children or only older children and he will do best in a home with a fenced yard and with someone who doesn't need to regularly leave him alone for long hours.
Dexter weighs 18 pounds which is large for a Yorkie, but he's fit and not overweight.
(An adoption donation of $250 is required.) If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out the CHEW Adoption Application you can find on the Adoption page of our website: chewdogrescue.org, If you have previously submitted an application form, there is no need to re-apply. Just let us know you're interested in this dog. We do our best to match families and dogs so everyone is pleased and the placement is permanent. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant if the home situation is incompatible with the needs of the rescue dog. Rescue is about doing our best for the dog. We do home and reference checks. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and are up to date with current vaccinations, before being placed in their forever homes.
