Story
This sweet girl is Lites Moon.Her owner, my brother sadly passed away 4/17/2024 from Cancer. I have only 10 days to rehome her due to the lease ending by the end of the month. She is very sweet and very loving but very sad right now for she lost her best friend. She was rescued by my brother from an abusive owner that used her for breeding purposes. She has a wonderful heart and loves to lay out in the sun. She also loves car/truck rides. She will need some TLC. The last 6 months of her owners life was spent mostly indoors ,she wouldn't leave his bedside.I am the owners sister needing a forever home for her. She is trained to potty outside. She is an indoor girl! She love dogtv at youtube. Which she loves. Please this sweet girl needs help. Adoption fee is negotiable Side note:I know she does great with kids. I am not confident to say the same about other pets. She has always been the only pet in the household.

Story
We adopted her when she was about seven weeks old. We had a litter of Yorkie puppies and she has been raised with a large group. Most are about four years old and they are attention driven. She likes to play with hard toys, because she destroys almost all others. She loves attention and will let you know when she wants it. She has been kept in a fenced yard and in the house. She has never been placed in a crate or kennel.
