Story
Meet Weasel, a twelve-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix weighing 10 pounds.Don`t let the name fool you—Weasel is all heart! With his long legs, delicate features, and expressive eyes, he looks more like a tiny baby deer than a dog, and his adorable looks are matched by an even sweeter personality.Weasel came to the shelter with another dog, Taco, after they were surrendered to animal control from a home with unsanitary living conditions. While they arrived together, they`re doing well in separate kennels and are happy to be adopted into separate homes.Despite his difficult past, Weasel hasn`t let it dim his spirit. He`s a friendly, outgoing senior who still has plenty of love to give and enjoys soaking up attention from everyone he meets. One of his favorite ways to ask for pets is by standing up and doing the cutest little dance on his back legs—it`s impossible not to smile when you see it! His playful, silly personality proves that age is just a number.As a senior, Weasel is looking for a family that understands his golden years come with a few extra needs. He`ll benefit from routine veterinary care, a comfortable place to rest, and all the love and patience that every senior dog deserves.If you`re looking for a charming, affectionate companion with a gentle soul, a goofy streak, and a heart full of love, Weasel is ready to leave his past behind and spend his retirement being cherished by a family of his own.This pet is available for adoption on 7.7.26 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.
