Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed. Meet Reginald “Reggie” Meet Reginald—Reggie for short! This handsome 12-year-old Yorkie mix is a little senior gentleman who has been through more than his fair share, but he hasn’t let that stop him from loving life. Reggie was found as a stray and came into foster care needing some extra TLC. He suffers from a severe skin allergy that caused him to lose most of the hair on his back. Our vet believes the hair will likely never grow back, but Reggie doesn’t seem to mind one bit. He proudly rocks his unique look—and honestly, we think it makes him even more special. Despite his age, Reggie is still surprisingly active and enjoys being part of the action. He does have severe arthritis in both his back legs and shoulders, so he needs a home that understands his limitations and is willing to accommodate them. Stairs are a big no-no because when his arthritis flares up, we worry he could fall. Luckily, Reggie has decided this simply means he gets to be carried around like the little prince he is. And what Reggie really wants most? His people. He absolutely loves being with his humans and soaking up every ounce of love and attention he can get. If you’re looking for a sweet little shadow who will happily keep you company and remind you that senior dogs have so much love left to give, Reggie may be your guy. Reggie does well with other small dogs around his size, preferably 12 lbs or smaller. Larger dogs make him very nervous and intimidated, so he would do best with smaller canine companions or as your one-and-only little prince.

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.
