LILY - YORKSHIRE TERRIER YORKIE / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (long coat). Meet Lily! We think she looks like a mini Chewbacca, but cuter! This sweet girl was sadly left behind when her owners moved and was found wandering the neighborhood. Thankfully, a kind neighbor took her in and helped her find her way to our rescue. Lily made an easy transition to her foster home, which includes her foster mom, Debbie, her teen son, two dogs, and a cat. She blended right in. She enjoys the company of her pup friends and was curious but respectful with the cat. Lily looks to her humans for comfort and security, so we think she’d do just fine as an only dog, too. Debbie describes Lily as easygoing, affectionate, and a total snuggle bug. Once she feels comfortable, she’s confident in the home, though she can be a little cautious with new visitors at first. She might bark and keep her distance, but soon she’s happy to curl up quietly on the couch next to her foster mom while the guest is there. Lily has a moderate to mellow energy level. She loves her walks and can keep up with her bigger pack members, though she’s just as happy to relax by your side. She’s not shown much interest in toys yet, but will play if you engage her. She’s crate-trained, housetrained, and thrives on a consistent routine. Her foster mom does crate her when she leaves the home for long periods of time, but she's done fine not being crated for shorter periods of time. This pretty girl is as sweet as they come and will make a wonderful companion or family dog. ❤️ Apply today!
