Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie. Meet Jake! A 13 year Yorkie, whose loving owner could no longer care for him. Jake has adjusted well to his foster home and spends most of his day sleeping on a soft blanket on the couch. When he has enough beauty rest, he loves to play for short periods. Jake loves children and will spend hours enjoying belly rubs. He does well in his crate & will sleep through the night but wants to have his humans in view. Jake is almost 100% house trained while taken out on a routine and does well on a schedule. He loves to eat, but is a bit overweight so he has been put on a low calorie dog food and a restricted amount of treats! Jake does have arthritis in his senior years and will be on an arthritis medication. Because of this, he can only walk short distances and needs carried up and down stairs. His tiny size, makes carrying him a breeze! This gentle soul may be a little older and hard of hearing and seeing these days, but don't let that fool you, he can make his way to your lap- no problem! Jake is a low-key companion who doesn't ask for much- just a cozy spot to rest, some patience, and someone kind to share his days with. If you're looking for a quiet, loyal friend who will appreciate the simple things in life, Jake may be the perfect match! Senior dogs have so much love and appreciation to give- they just need someone willing to meet them where they are.

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.
