Mimi's Story

Breed: Yorkshire Terrier<br/>Age: 7 yrs.<br/>Weight: 9 lbs.<br/>Good with dogs: yes<br/>Good with cats: unsure<br/>Good with kids: unsure<br/>Energy level: unsure<br/>Good with men/strangers: yes<br/>Hypoallergenic: no<br/><br/>Special home requirements or medical: none<br/><br/>Additional info:<br/><br/>Mimi came to us from a pretty awful Yorkie hoarding situation where many (many) small Yorkies were being kept in awful conditions. She was thin, dirty, matted and scared when she arrived but has been groomed and vetted and blossomed in foster care! <br/><br/>Mimi is a sweet dog that loves cuddling with her person. She begins shy but warms up in time and will seek playtime and pets from you. She’s currently being fostered with another dog (about 20lbs) and they have become besties — giving each other kisses, bathing each other, and chasing one another! She hasn’t shown an interest in toys yet but is loving a variety of treats.<br/><br/>While Mimi is interested in other dogs, she is nervous and will need time to warm up. Stairs are an adventure for her — she can go up the stairs but going down them is still a work in progress. She’ll allow you to pick her up but is eager to be back on the ground. She will alert you when someone is at the door. She may whine or bark when she is left alone but not excessively so.<br/><br/>A few weeks after we rescued her, Mimi had a tremor. We started her on CBD oil daily which has kept her tremor free in her stable, calm foster home. She has not had seizures, only 2 incidents of shaking for several minutes each. <br/><br/>She's the cutest gal in a tiny package ready for love!<br/><br/>If you are not ready to adopt just yet and would like to help in other ways, please consider clicking on the green “Sponsor Me” button above to help this dog receive the best care we can give.
