Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATED BIO 11/28/08:Hello there! Wilson here - I'm a 3 y/o gorgeous yorkie boy and weigh 12#; I'm being fostered in Key West, Florida. I told Foster Mom it was time to update all my fans. So, let's see.... I am still cute, I am still fun, and I am still looking for a FURever home to call my own. Hey, I love it here at FM's house, but it's time I got my own place! I LOVE to play with other dogs. I love to chase after toys. I love people. I am great with kids, but only the sturdy kind cuz I'm still working on the "no jumping" thingy. I would love an active house filled with fun. A backyard and another playful dog would be ideal! I am housetrained and like to use the wee wee pads. Aren't I smart? If you think I might be the dog to complete your family, let FM know, ok? Wilson - out!

UPDATED BIO 10/31/08: Wilson here! I'm 3 years old and weigh 12#; I'm being
fostered in Key West, FL. While I'm lovin' the island life, what I really want is my very own home and my very own family. I wishin' I had a family to love. I am very playful and play-play-play with FM's doggies; they're so much fun! I also like to play with my human(s). I get eager sometimes and jump (FM is working on that with me); so, kids are fine, but not the ones I can knock down, 'kay? FM says I am just the most perfect doggie and that whoever gets me is going to be so lucky! I am mostly housetrained and don't have a mean bone in my widdle skinny body. Adopt me, pleeeeez. Oh, and something else........please have a fur-brother or sister for me - I'd love to have one! I really need a backyard so that I can run out all my energy. And maybe a kid or two. OK, OK, too picky. Just give me a playful family and we'll be OK :)
UPDATED BIO 10-06-08: Hiya everyone - Wilson's Foster Mom here. I just HAD to send an update even though it's only been 24 hours since Wilson came into my home....Wilson is a DOLL! He is a cuddler (slept right beside me last night), walks pretty well on a leash, and likes to play! He would fit perfectly into an active/playful family with kids. He gets along very well with other dogs. He seems intrigued by cats, but his first instinct is not to run after them. The only lingering effect of kennel cough is that he occasionally clears his throat - I haven't heard him cough even once. Since I've been home with Wilson, there haven't been any accidents, but I think he is going to need a tiny bit of work in this department. He is very smart; so I do not think it is going to be a problem. I suspect this little guy is going to get snatched up quickly....all the better. I'm already getting attached to him!
ORIGINAL BIO: 10/5/2008: I'm Wilson - please play with me! I am a 3 y/o 12# yorkie boy. I was originally found wandering the streets 3 weeks ago and was brought to the local shelter. Once at the shelter, I was quickly adopted since I am oh-so-cute. However, when I got home, I developed kennel cough. I knew it would go away, but my family got nervous and didn't want me and brought me back to the shelter. Phooey I say! Even though I am almost 100% better, not many people come to look at the "sick" dogs at the back of the shelter. Who's sick? Not me! Apparently, all of this was for the best, because now YOU found me on UYR's "Looking for Love" page and YOU are going to take me home with you and love me FURever and ever.... right?
Here's some stuff you should know...... I love to play with toys. I will chase anything. Bringing it back? Well, sometimes I'll leave it for you to get so we both can get our exercise. I am a good eater despite my lean physique. I give lots of kisses and want to be near you whenever I can. Foster Mom isn't sure about the housebreaking thing since I just got here, but so far I'm showing her I'm a fast learner. I am ready to go. Come on, what are you waiting for?
