Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Updated Bio 5/04/16: Meet Hope! Hope is an approximately 4 year old, slightly underweight 10 lb Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) that found her dirty, matted self at the local shelter, when she wandered away from her home. We think that is a good thing, because not only was she very matted, but she had a huge mammary tumor on her that must have caused her a lot of pain. Hope is being fostered in West Palm Beach, FL. Hope's adoption fee is $325 and includes all vetting (neuter, dental cleaning, immunizations, microchip and chip registration). A Vet reference, personal references, and home visit are required for adoption. You may apply to adopt Hope by going to our website at www.unitedyorkierescue.org and completing the adoption application located on our home page.
Hope went for her second visit to the vet yesterday, where she was spayed and had her tumor removed. The vet could not say either way whether the tumor was cystic or malignant, but she did not see anything else that was a cause for alarm. They removed the tumor in it's entirety, and with the spay, we do not expect any more tumors to reappear as she no longer has the hormones that contribute to the growth of tumors. Hope is expected to make a full recovery and live a full life.
Hope is very playful and loves to play with the kitties in the house. The kitties on the other hand, don't appreciate all the attention. Hope has discovered if they don't run, they actually are not fun to chase, so she would do best in a house with cats that don't care about her and can't be bothered to run. She also gets along with the dogs, and her little tail just wags and wags when she meets other dogs. However, her foster brothers are smaller and can be a bit high strung, and that has caused some tension between her and them. We think she would do best in a home with either no other dog or a dog closer to her size if not a bit larger, and one that doesn't growl or snap at her. While Hope does have a bit of energy and would benefit from at least one daily walk if not more, she is fairly low key and does not bark very much. She walks great on a leash and stops when her person stops. Hope is fully house trained, but she does need to be let out in a timely manner. At the moment, she is going out every 4 to 5 hours with no accidents.
Hope has not been around children, but based on her happy, outgoing demeanor, we think she would do best with children over 12. She does not need a fenced in yard if she is walked daily.
