Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOSTER LOCATION: Nampa, ID
Smitty is a Yorkie Mix with a huge heart in a tiny little body; this boy weighs in at only 3 ½ pounds; inbreeding have made him into a “teacup Yorkie”. At 7 years old he has already known more than one home and Fuzzy Pawz took him in knowing that we can find that special home who can care for such a special boy.
This kid likes every single person he meets; he is soft, gentle and loves to be with people; to sit beside them, or even snuggle in bed. If people are not in rest mode he always finds a soft place to get comfy and will go in his crate to rest if you want him to. Smitty loves to be cradled in your arms and oh boy does he love belly rubs! He does whine when he is feeling unsecure; but it doesn’t last long.
He seems to fit in with well behaved, non-threatening dogs of any size, and cats too. And while he is great with other dogs he will need to be around only soft, gentle dogs that will consider his size.
Smitty is house trained however he will need let out frequently throughout the day as his bladder is so tiny he can’t hold it long. (He’d be a good dog to litterbox train). Supervision is recommended outside, as he is so small he could get taken by a large bird of prey. He knows the word no, and stops what he is doing. He is very smart and pays attention to his surroundings and watches for your cues.
Please keep in mind that due to Smitty’s size we require no kids under the age of 15 be in the home; this boy is fragile.
Fuzzy Pawz recently had this boy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and got him a dental
