For inquiries email martine@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $600 Location: Southern Shores, NC Meet Zinnia A Little Pocket of Love Hi, Im Zinnia, a 4-year-old Yorkie girl, and at just 8 pounds, Im basically the perfect size for a lap or a pocket! I came into rescue with my mama, Stella Parton, and weve never spent a day apart. Shes definitely the more confident one, while Im a little more cautious and very much a mamas girl. I like to stay close to my people, too. In fact, if youre sitting down, dont be surprised if I somehow manage to crawl right into your lap or your pocket just to be as close to you as possible. Im also a big fan of a leisurely lap nap, especially if Mama is nearby. I have a sweet little quirk to my walk that my foster family finds absolutely endearing. My back feet are a little weak and slightly turned out, giving me an adorable duck-like stance. I get around quite well, but Im not built for marathon walks. Im perfectly happy exploring the yard and taking in the world at my own pace. Hardwood floors can also be a little tricky for me theyre much slipperier than they seem to be for Mama! And between my short little legs and my hind-end weakness, stairs are currently a challenge. Luckily, at a lean 8 pounds, its easy with some human help. Why walk when you can be carried like the princess you are? Ill be going to the vet on 9/8 to be spayed, and the rescue folks will make sure my legs are evaluated too. I also have suspected dry eyes but Im a superstar for eye drops. Im incredibly cooperative, so my foster family says I make that part easy! I sometimes need a little encouragement to get started on my meals, but once I decide its time to eat, I do just fine. Were also still working on housebreaking. Im not perfect yet, but were making progress! I may be a little more delicate and reserved than my adventurous mama, but I have a whole lot of love to give. What I really want is a person who will let me stay close, give me a safe place to explore at my own pace, and understand that sometimes the best place in the world is simply in your lap. My world is a whole lot brighter and safer with my mamaCan we both come home with you? After all, weve always been a little team. With lots of little-dog love,Mini Zinni Please visit our website www.compactcaninerescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and see other adoptable dogs.
