Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Kojack. I am a 5-7 year old neutered Yorkie boy. I weigh between 5.5 and 6.5 lbs. I get along great with kids, other dogs (small and big) and I also get along with cats. I was taken in by my current mom about two years ago when she only worked part time. I had time to spend with her and that made me feel happy and secure. Now with the economy in such a state she has been working full time, leaving me home alone with the others dogs but I still feel very lonely. To ease my anxiety I have a tendency to let everyone know about my sorrows and I will bark all day until she comes home. When she finally walks through the door I have to stick by her every moment. I can’t let her out of my sight cause she may leave me again. I am beside myself with worry and can’t relax; I'm afraid of the moment she will leave again. When I am by her side I am quiet and just love being next to her. I am a rather well behaved little guy and really want to please anyone who is able to give me the much needed attention. I would really love it if someone could be with me most of the day or take me with you. As much as I love my fur siblings I would prefer to live with maybe only one other. I think this would also make me feel more secure and I could then really focus on house training. I get it most of the time but then I need to push for that extra attention. I am a little special in that I have a very thin coat and in some areas I have lost fur. It is a condition known as Alopecia (hair loss). It's related to dilute coat color is a recognized condition in dogs. CDA is characterized by loss of hair from dilutely pigmented areas. Coats are normal at birth, and onset of hair loss usually begins between six months and three years of age. Hair loss usually begins along the dorsal midline (middle of the back) and often spares the head, tail and limbs. In blue dogs with tan points (Yorkies and Dobermans) the tan areas retain a normal appearance. The good news is that I love to wear all the newest fashionable clothing. This condition has not affected my health and as a matter of fact my mom started to feed me a raw diet and I have actually started to fill in more hair. So, I would prefer to stay with raw food. If you have room in your heart to love me for who I am and are home a lot to help me feel secure could you please give my mom a call because I know she really feels guilty that she is not able to keep me happy and I feel bad that I am so insecure. Her name is Laura at (714) 777-9095. She will ask a lot of questions so be prepared. I know she loves me and only wants the best for me. **This is a courtesy listing. Kojack is NOT a Yorkies & Friends Rescue dog. If you're interested in him, please call Laura at the number listed above. Thank you!**
