My name is Reese!

We recently welcomed Reese our rescue; she is from a puppy mill. She is a Yorkie who weighs approximately 7 lbs, and is 1 year old.  

Reese came to us from a puppy mill and has little life experience and a lot of new things to process. She is doing very well so far. She likes people and will play with dogs. She is quite the cuddler and prefers to sleep in bed with her foster parents.

Even though she is tiny, Reese can scale a large bank of stairs in leaps and bounds. She loves her toys and often drags them into her foster parents bed or her own dog bed.

We would recommend that Reese be placed in a small crate when travelling by car. She doesn’t appear to be frightened, but will move around a lot if not contained.

So far Reese is partially housebroken. She will go outside or on puppy pads, but sometimes she misses the pee pad. She might need a little help with that.

Reese is being fostered with 3 adult dogs and we are feeding her Royal Canin Adult food (canned) and Performatrin Ultra (kibble). She has a very big appetite and eats 2 meals a day. Benny Bully are her favourite treats.

We haven't left her on her own as yet, so we don’t know if she will bark or not. She has not been destructive, but loves running around the house at high speeds and rolling around in beds, pulling up blankets and pillows and tossing them about. She is a busy little girl and wants to be with you all the time.

Unfortunately Reese was a matted mess when she arrived from the puppy mill and we had to give her a short haircut. She is nervous when groomed and it was difficult to trim her face.

Healthwise Reese has a tremor. The vets thought neurological or maybe a liver shunt.  We did tests to rule our a liver shunt so now we are left with a probably diagnosis of    .  We believe it is something she was born with and should not affect her moving forward however the tremor will remain. It can be a little more pronounced when she is stressed. She has been vaccinated, chipped and spayed recently.

Reese is a feisty and active little girl who would certainly make a lovely pet. She could probably live in a house or apartment. We do not recommend a home with young children.
