Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 600. Please contact EFr for more information about this pet. Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at .arf-il/adopt/application/ Spice is a three legged 3 year old female Yorkie who weighs in at 4.4 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $600. If you are still interested, please read more below. Spice is just the sweetest little girl. She arrived at ARF on 6/15/25. She was spayed and had a dental on 6/12/25 and unfortunately had to have her back right leg amputated on 6/30/25 due to a bad hip socket. She has been cleared by the vet and is ready for her forever home. She would do best in a home with someone around most of the time since she doesn’t like to be all by herself for very long. She’s a big time snuggler and follows her people around from room to room constantly. When her foster parents are busy she can be found hanging out with her canine foster brother and sisters. Given how tiny she is, she would probably do best in a home with adults only or a family with older kids who can give her space when needed. We’re still working on house training, but if her foster parents see her walking a big circle in the room that means she’s needing to go outside. Spice is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and spayed. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
