My story

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

Duty Free is a one year old Yorkshire Terrier. He is a gentle and extremely sweet Yorkie who has already become a loving member of his foster family.

Duty has adapted well to his post-rescue life, and in only a few short weeks has opened up and showed his true personality. He now fully trusts his two fosters, wagging his tail every time he sees them and enthusiastically following them and trying to engage them in play. He thoroughly enjoys running around and playing with his cat friend and could be introduced into a multi-pet household. His favorite part of the day is couch time, where he cuddles on your lap while you brush him (which instantly calms him).

He is still learning how to walk outside on a leash (if he gets nervous, he’ll just lie down on the ground) but is getting better every day, and is definitely becoming more comfortable and active outdoors. Duty is currently living in downtown Seattle, but a family that likes long walks or has a fenced yard to run around in would probably make him very happy.

Duty Free naps throughout the day and will sleep through the night. He sleeps in his dog bed, which is kept in the living room during the day and in the bedroom at night. He has grown a healthy appetite and loves his food. He’s also an easy dog to groom, patiently taking baths. Duty is very calm and well-behaved in the car.

He is very smart and will be very trainable once he feels comfortable. He is still learning how consistently to go to the bathroom outside, but this is increasing in frequency in both a pet area and on walks in the park. He still need some puppy pads inside, but hits them 9 out of 10 times now, which is a massive improvement in such a short amount of time.

Duty Free doesn’t exhibit any aggressive or otherwise concerning behavior; the main areas he’s working through are general shyness, especially on walks, and potty training. He is becoming somewhat motivated by treats, but praise seems to be having an even better effect.

Despite what he’s been through, he’s soaking up love and interaction like a sponge and is trying so hard to be a good dog. Once he finds his forever home, he’ll be such a happy and loving part of his new family.
