My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pending adoption

Meet Niko! He is a purebred yorkie. He is 4 years of age. He weighs right around the 7 lb mark, and yes he is fully grown and at a very healthy weight. He is neutered, micorchipped, current on all vaccines, and has been cleared by our vet to find a home all his own.

He is house trained, and has been introduced to pads if needed in his next home. He will go outside to use the restroom about 3 times a day. He is crate trained, and has no issue going into a crate if his new adopting family wishes to have him sleep there. He however, LOVES being in bed with his humans, so if you are looking for a snuggle buddy at bedtime, he will happily oblige. He is your true definition of a lap dog, and loves to be near his human as often as he can. We would love to find him a home where his new humans are either retired, or work from home, so that he can remain his happiest little self every day moving forward as he is HAPPIEST when they are around. He is a great traveling partner, so if you take any type of road trips, long or short, he sits in his booster seat and is always ready for wherever the road takes him even if just to run errands around town.

He is good with all the dogs we have here, big or small; but doesn't need to have dog friends in his new home as long as he has his person. He is also very good with cats, so that won't be an issue if you have any cat friends at home.

He is a very sweet, loving, beautiful little boy patiently waiting for a family to call his own again so if that's you reach out to us and tell us all about yourself, the home you would be providing, and your breed experience andd from there we will be in contact!

Their adoption process

1.

Interview

When we have out of area adoptions, we always schedule a phone interview first to ensure the dog inquired about is the perfect fit.

2.

Home Check

We request photos/videos of your home and yard space to ensure it's safe for the dog you are inquiring about.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

Once all requirements are met, we will schedule a travel plan to bring your pup/dog to you. Adoption contracts are usually signed in person.

4.

Pay Fee

Adoption fees are paid in person, unless other arrangements have been made due to distance/travel plans requiring fees to be paid ahead
