Story
We purchased Coco as a puppy from a Yorkie breeder in our area. For us she is a house pet. She loves to sleep on laps. She loves to play fetch with a sock toy. She is energetic, intelligent, curious, playful, loving and sometimes mischievous. If something is on or falls to the floor - it’s hers! We are unable to walk her outside. She uses pet potty papers indoors. She uses a crate to sleep at night and sometimes during the day. She will enter crate when directed. If in her crate, she will make sound if she needs to eliminate. Her food is Hills dry kibble. Her reward treats are chicken. She loves chewsticks, too. Why do we want/need to re-home? We are seniors with some mobility issues (knee replacement last Dec & spine fusion surgery this year) and her liveliness is more than we are able to manage well. Our past small breed dogs (Chihuahua and Maltese) were less active. Coco Chanel deserves an owner able to walk her and respond to her need for activity better than we can.

Story
I'm introducing Sweet Penny hoping to find her a forever home that has either active adult(s) and/or young children that will match this sweet girls' entertaining energy. Penny loves puzzles and human laps and lots of hugs and kisses. She can exercise for hours and has to hear "all done" to stop getting you to play with her. She fetches, tugs, and loves to play with her own shadow. She is shy at first and great with other dogs and cats once she feels safe. She loves being outdoors in her yard on sunny days and likes to hunker down in her dog house during rainy days. She must have tall fences. She's crate trained when needed and has/needs a bark collar for door knocks, strangers, and joggers who pass her yard but has learned to not bark (for the most part). She's truly very loving and gentle and respects others dogs' authority. She is very smart and can be taught many things and thrives on learning. My living environment is changing and to be fair to her, she needs a larger home.
