Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hunter could be that dream come true pup for retirees who enjoy spending their time with a scruffy and adorable Yorkie who is so loving and engaging. There's also no question that Hunter would do well with gentle, dog-loving older kids 12+ who enjoy the fun and snuggles that a sweet little dog brings to a family. It's not that Hunter doesn't enjoy young kids, but because he's such a small guy at only 8 - 9 lbs and approximately 24 months old, we want to make certain he's handled gently and respectfully. Hunter does like playing and is entertaining in his silly antics, young energy and the huge love he wants to show to everyone he knows.
Hunter's story is all too common in his extremely close call to being euthanized in a scary Kansas shelter....but who could ignore his adorable manner and desire to bond with anyone who could be his best friend? Hunter is initially a bit shy..but give him a moment (a belly rub and yummy treats are helpful) and he inches just a bit closer to a welcoming lap. Before you know it he's gently loving you with a soft kiss. The awesome Kansas rescuers recognized all of this and knew that there was a home out there that would love, respect and make this little guy a permanent member of their family.
Hunter would do well with anyone who's invested in spending time with their pup. He's so pleasant and portable that he can be a part of any adventure....it can be a leisurely walk, a visit with friends (with or without their dogs), a car ride on vacation or just an afternoon spending time together plopped down on the couch - all of this would speak to Hunter's temperament. We aren't open to a home where the family members spend their days working full-time outside of the home....we'd like Hunter to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle.
Hunter is a non-shedding guy with the striking markings and shining coat of the Yorkie breed. Hunter will require a commitment to periodic grooming and great nutrition. With this care, Hunter's coat will shine with good health
Hunter is in a foster home in the Denver area. Meet and Greets are being set up and applications are currently being accepted for this very loving and devoted companion and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/.
