HAMILTON - YORKSHIRE TERRIER YORKIE / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). I’m Hamilton, and like my namesake I’m a little scruffy around the edges. But that just adds to my charm! I’m a 7+-year-old Yorkshire terrier mix. My foster mom says 7ish is the perfect age: I’m past the puppy crazies but still young enough to be a fun companion! I like to go on sniffy-walks, and already know not to pull on the leash. I learned loose-leash walking very quickly because I’m so smart and treat-motivated! I alert-bark when a stranger comes to the door, and I need a little time to adjust to new people and places. Once I feel safe, my loving nature shines through! My perfect day would involve a nap, some treats, a short walk, more treats, cuddle time, and following you around the house in hopes of getting Even. More. TREATS. I never had toys before, but I’m learning to like those, too! OPR saved me from a busy street in East San Jose, where I’d been abandoned. I love being a rescue dog and finally enjoying the good life! But I’m looking forward to my forever home even more. I want to find a quiet, dog-savvy family that will train me using positive methods. I’d love a patient dog-sibling that will let me get acquainted slowly; I even like a cat! Could my fur-ever home be with you?
