Story
I’m looking for a loving forever home for a 4-year-old Yorkie/Chihuahua mix who came into my care after her owner passed away. She originally lived with a single older woman and a cat. I took her in to help get her healthy and find the right home for her. She spent a month with a family and did well with the mom, children, and cat, but unfortunately never warmed up to the dad. She would bark and attempt to bite him, which became too much for the family, so she returned to me. My home is too busy and hectic for her, and she does not do well with my two dogs. She prefers to stay in her crate when they are out and does not seem comfortable in a busy environment. She would thrive in a calm home, ideally with a single female and no other dogs. Cats are okay. She is looking for someone patient who will give her the quiet, loving home she deserves.
