Story
Bella and Chloe are a pair of well-behaved and affectionate senior Yorkies. While they do appear to be purebred, they are larger than the average Yorkie; Bella is 14 pounds and Chloe is 15. They are 10 years old.
They are sisters and are very closely bonded, so we are adopting them out together. Whoever adopts them will be very glad for that as they are a delightful pair. If one sets foot out of a room, the other automatically follows. They sleep together (in foster dogmom’s bed, of course), wrassle together, and go outside exploring together.
If you have a lap, Bella and Chloe want to sit in it—they are snuggle bunnies. If your lap happens to be empty, one or the other (or both) will beg for permission to curl up with you. They will be happy to start with some head petting and butt scritching, but eventually the side legs are going to pop up to expose their pudgy little bellies, in case you’re in the mood to rub a dog tummy. They are still quite spry and can jump up on and off the couch by themselves, but I set a cheap foam ramp by the couch for safety.
They both like small squeaky toys. Chloe will walk around for half an hour at a time with a toy in her mouth. They don’t chew them or destroy them or make them squeak; they just like to carry them around. Bella’s favorite activity is to stand by the window and bark at the passers-by. (If you would prefer that she not bark, just close the blinds.)
As seniors, Bella and Chloe have got their manners down. They are house-trained, though you should expect accidents with them coming into a new house. They are non-destructive (don’t chew anything but toys). They live in a house with 6 other dogs and they get along with everybody. They’re a little shy around new people but they warm up very quickly. They do not bark, except for the above-mentioned entertainment purposes.
They would be great dogs for a couple or family with older kids (12 and up). They are so grateful to their foster for pulling them out of the shelter and will quickly come to love their new family.
The adoption fee for both dogs is $400 and includes neuter, all shots & microchip. They are heartworm-negative and on heartworm medication. We have also had their teeth cleaned.
Note:
We always respond first to inquiries that tell us something about your living situation (house, apartment, single, family, etc.) and why you want this dog. Be sure to include your phone number in your inquiry. We call inquiries that seem to be a good fit for the dog.
