JOEY**2 TO 3 YEAR OLD YORKIE TERRIER MIX**8 POUNDS**MALE If you are interested in Joey, please go to www.momsva.org and complete an application. Joey is an adorable Yorkie Terrier mix estimated to be between 2 and 3 years old and weighing 7 to 8 pounds. This sweet boy has a calm, gentle personality and is ready to find the loving, forever home he deserves. Joey is people and dog friendly making him a wonderful fit for many families. Being a stray, he is still working on house training but is making good progress. One thing to note is that Joey has some anxiety in a crate. He'll pace back-and-forth for a time before he settles so he would do best in a home where he doesn't need crated for long periods. If you're looking for a low-key companion, Joey is your boy. He isn't a high energy dog, instead he loves relaxing by your side, lounging around, and quietly following you from room to room. He's happiest just being close to his people. Joey will need regular brushing and an occasional trim. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, best friend who will happily spend his days by your side, Joey is waiting to meet you. Go to www.momsva.org and complete an application.

Story
Abby is available for adoption! When Abby arrived she had a terrible skin infection, was underweight and her hair was so matted we had to shave her down. Some of these pictures still show some of her inflamed skin and matted feet. Her foster parents took great care of her and she now looks and feels so much better. She is finally ready to find her new home. We are hoping we can find a wonderful adopter who doesn't really care about a dog's age. We are completely stumped regarding how old she is. She was surrendered to a shelter and the owner indicated that she was 11 years old. Then when the foster family got to know her they thought she must be very young, like 1-2 years old based on her puppy like behavior and energy level. So we asked our vet to give us an estimate and based on their exam they guessed about 5 years old. So all we can tell you is Abby is anywhere from 1-11 years old. My guess would be she is probably closer to the 10-11 years but is just a very playful, puppy like dog, but that is only a guess. Abby is a happy, active little dog. She loves going for walks and chasing after toys, but she is just as happy to snuggle on your lap. She does tend to jump on people and can be a little mouthy, but it's not normally aggressive... She's just a little excited. There have been a couple of incidents with Abby when the foster mom tried to move her off her lap and Abby turned around and snapped at her. She did not break the skin but she was trying to bite. We don't know if she has something that is sore that the foster mom may have been hurting when she grabbed her or if Abby just didn't want to be moved. This has happened a couple of times so an adopter does need to be aware of this. Abby walks well on the leash, but can be reactive around other dogs (especially bigger dogs), which means barking and a growly tone, but once she calms down, she's fine. It seems to be fear based, most likely due to lack of socialization, but with continual exposure and slow introductions, she should get a lot better. Therefore, she needs someone who will continue to work with her in this area of behavior. The best home for Abby would probably be one with no young children (older kids would be fine). She is currently being fostered in a home with other dogs and cats, and she seems to be adjusting well. We don't know if Abby's skin condition was only due to the poor environment she was in and how bad her hair was matted, or if she is going to have allergies. Shih-Tzu's do tend to have skin allergies so whoever adopt her needs to keep in mind she may need allergy meds. For an application go to www.homesfurhounds.org She is located in Williamsburg, Va.
