This 8-9 week old Yorkie/Border Terrier mix was rescued from the shelter and has quickly blossomed into the sweetest little companion you could imagine. She weighs all of 3.6 lbs! With her soft fur, soulful eyes, and gentle heart, Velvet truly lives up to her name. Velvet starts her day with a wag and a smile, enjoys her breakfast, and then fills her morning with playful bursts of energy— exploring her space, playing with her toys, and showering her people with affection. After her fun, she happily transforms into the coziest little couch potato, curling up nearby while you work, cook, or relax. She loves simply being close and is the definition of a “Velcro dog,” following her favorite people from room to room. Velvet was shy when she first arrived but quickly warmed up and revealed her curious, loving, and playful nature. She’s pee pad trained, sleeps peacefully at night, and has been a calm, quiet presence in her foster home—rarely barking, never digging, and only gently chewing on her favorite dragon toy (especially when she’s teething or feeling a little lonely). Her ideal forever home? A calm, loving family who wants a loyal shadow by their side. She’d do well with gentle children or other pets after proper introductions. She’s not quite ready for walks yet but will love exploring once her vaccinations are complete. Velvet is a special kind of dog— the kind who nestles into your heart without you even noticing. She’s the one who’ll curl up while you cook, sleep peacefully by your feet, and greet you with quiet joy every time you come home. If you’re looking for a gentle, devoted best friend, Velvet is waiting for you.July 12, 2025, 1:48 am
