My story

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

History: Alpaca arrived to rescue with long yorkie hair but as soon as we picked him up and felt him, we could feel the devastating matting across his whole body. It broke our hearts to see and feel how badly his hair was matted- it must have been so uncomfortable but yet Alpaca is so kind. He is feeling better each day and would make a wonderful companion for a lucky home of his very own soon!

A Note from the Foster: 🐾 Meet Alpaca 💖 an 18-month-old sweet and affectionate guy. They say I’m a Yorkie, but my foster mom thinks I could be a schnorkie—part Yorkie and part Schnauzer. Maybe it’s my new haircut? I’m not sure, but I am 16 lbs of total cuteness. I am still learning to trust. When I first got to my foster home, I was shut down and afraid of loud noises and sudden movements; however, I still get frightened, and my first instinct is to run away and find a way out. But my foster parents stay close by and help me feel safe.

I sleep in my crate at night and haven’t had an accident in there yet. I patiently wait in my crate for my foster parents to take me outside for my morning potty break. Afterward, it’s playtime!

I live with a 70-pound Pitbull, but we don’t play; instead, we respect each other’s space.

I’m doing ok on a slip lead waking around the yard. I’m going to need more practice learning how to go for a walk.

I don’t have a big appetite; I take my time and eat throughout the day, with more of an appetite in the evening. My foster parents simply keep food in my bowl. I only like dry kibble and some tasty treats.

I love getting pets, and sometimes I like to cuddle with my foster mom. And sometimes I like to chill on my own. I’m still unsure of my foster Dad and new people, but I’m sure I’ll overcome that in time.

I’m certain that once I gain a clearer understanding of the world, I’ll become your best friend, and cuddles will be our cherished pastime.
