Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hermione is a gorgeous black and red purebred Yorkie who arrived at our shelter through no fault of her own. She is 9 months old and is in excellent health. She will be spayed in August and will be available for adoption after her recovery. Hermione is energetic and loves to play. She does not bark mindlessly and she sleeps in her crate at night. Hermione's housetraining still needs a little patient work, but she's doing very well.

PLEASE research any breed of dog before deciding whether it's right for you, your family, and your lifestyle!

The Yorkshire Terrier is lively and inquisitive, physically and mentally quick, and spends much time trotting (or dashing) around checking things out.
Larger dogs may view him as a delicacy, so he must always be leashed or fenced for his own protection; in addition, he can be an excitable chaser of birds and butterflies.
A lover of comfort, the Yorkshire Terrier enjoys cuddling on laps and snuggling into soft pillows. Yorkies coexist well with other pets.
Housebreaking is notoriously difficult, especially in bad weather; consider an indoor litter box.
Fragility. Too many people acquire a toy breed puppy without understanding how incredibly fragile a toy breed is. You can seriously injure or kill a Yorkshire Terrier by stepping on him or by sitting on him when he's curled under a blanket or pillow, where he frequently likes to sleep. And Yorkshire Terriers can seriously injure or kill THEMSELVES by leaping from your arms or off the back of your sofa. A larger dog can grab a Yorkshire Terrier and break his neck with one quick shake. Owning a toy breed means constant supervision and surveillance of what's going on around your tiny dog. Yorkshire Terriers must always be kept on-leash -- they are just too easy to injure when not under your complete control. And many Yorkies, with their terrier heritage, have strong chasing instincts. They will take off after anything that runs.
Yorkshire Terriers are NOT suited to children, no matter how well-meaning the child. Children cannot help being clumsy, and that a child meant well is little solace to a Yorkshire Terrier who has been accidentally stepped on, sat on, rolled on, squeezed, or dropped onto the patio. Most Yorkshire Terriers feel overwhelmed by the loud voices and quick movements that children can't help making -- and stress and fearfulness (even defensive biting) may be the result.
Hermione's adoption donation is $575. 100% of ALL donations goes toward offsetting the tremendous cost of rescuing the special-needs dogs that we never turn away if we have room - those in need of expense heartworm treatment, dogs with broken bones, senior dogs, pregnant strays, and those with no other options. Every dog gets appropriate vet care, training, socializing, and does not leave us until the right adopter is found. We feed only INNOVA EVO, which we have found to be the best food available.
