Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Minnie is two years old and weighs about 6 pounds. She is looking for a best friend as she loves her person and follows them everywhere including the bathroom. Minnie will be patient & sleep while you work. She only barks for a good reason & makes one hurrah & then comes when called. She is housebroken and sleeps on the bed next to your pillow or in a crate next to the bed where she can see you. She doesn't like to be left in crate unless you are right there. When left in the house she behaved and when foster Mom returned was very excited & crying for a short time. She would like to be the only dog in household as tries to boss the other dogs around but only makes a lot noise when they won't cooperate. A submissive fur sibling might work. She likes to play with small squeaky toys & goes to sleep in vehicle for rides. She likes to go places with you & only weighs 6 pounds so is a great size to carry if need be. She seems to prefer laying next to you on the sofa playing with her toys than sitting on your lap all the time. When you go out she wants to sit on your lap as she feels more secure. Foster Mom wishes Minnie could live next door so she could go get kisses often! Please go to www.yorkierescueofamerica.org to fill out an adoption application.
