Meet Fifi, a 6-year-old, approximately 8-pound Yorkshire Terrier with a big personality and an even bigger love for her people.
Fifi is affectionate, intelligent, playful, and extremely devoted to the humans she trusts. She loves attention, lap time, soft crinkly toys, car rides, walks, and outdoor play. Her foster says she has already come a long way since her first night and is becoming more comfortable as she settles into her new routine.
Fifi wants to be close to her person and would thrive with someone who is home much of the day. She currently barks continuously when left without human company, so she is not a good fit for a home where she would regularly spend long hours alone. Her adopter should be prepared to work patiently on separation-related behavior and help her gradually become more comfortable with short periods of alone time.
She is learning to coexist with the other dogs in her foster home and is making progress. However, she may growl or show her teeth when they enter her personal space, and she can be possessive of human attention. Fifi would likely be happiest as the only dog, although a calm, respectful dog may be considered with slow introductions, careful supervision, and a successful meet-and-greet.
Fifi is also a very vocal little watchdog. She alerts to noises and activity around the house, so apartment living or a home with noise-sensitive neighbors may not be the best match.
Her potty training is still a work in progress. She does most of her business outside but occasionally has accidents indoors. A consistent schedule, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and patience will be important in her new home.
After observing her reaction to a dog-savvy 2-year-old visitor, Fifi should not be placed with young children. A calm adult home would be ideal. Older, respectful teenagers may be considered depending on the family and interaction.
Fifi is crate trained, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative as of May 2026. Veterinary records list her date of birth as June 20, 2020.
