Sid's Story

Name: Sid <br/>Nickname: Sid Arthur, Sideward, Sidders<br/>Breed: Yorkshire Terrier<br/>Age: Senior gentleman (13 years) <br/>Weight: 7 lbs. Tiny enough to be carried around in a baby carrier (which he fully supports)<br/>Before OMD: Sid was a stray and found himself needing a soft place to land for his golden years, and were determined to make sure the rest of his life is filled with comfy beds, cuddles, and as much love as possible.<br/>Energy Level: Low with occasional bursts of blind Yorkie confidence.<br/>What We Love Most: Sid is a self-assured, funny little guy with plenty of spunk. He confidently pinballs his way down hallways like he owns the place, insists on inspecting any laundry left on the floor, and has perfected the art of looking adorable while being carried around.<br/>What Sid Loves Most: A cozy place to nap, being near his people, and getting pets on demand. Once his affection quota has been met, hes perfectly happy curling up nearby and simply enjoying your company.<br/>Working On: Honestly? Nothing. Sid is a senior guy and were embracing him exactly as he is.<br/>Dogs: Sid has done well with his calm foster brother after a brief adjustment period, but he can be vocal with unfamiliar dogs and would need slow introductions. He also has done well with OMD Evie, a senior Shih Tzu. A calm, respectful dog he can quietly coexist with may be ideal.<br/>Cats: No experience<br/>Kids: Older, respectful children only. Since Sid is blind, sudden and chaotic movements can startle him.<br/>House Trained: Ehh, not really. Sid will go outside, but he also goes when he needs to go. He currently wears a belly band and does best with a predictable routine.<br/>Crate Trained: No. Being blind, confinement is upsetting for him, so he is not crated.<br/>Other Important Things to Know:<br/>- Sid has no teeth and is completely blind, but dont tell him that.<br/>- He is not interested in toys and isnt particularly food motivated.<br/>- He knows his name, but commands are beneath him.<br/>- Hell let you know if he needs something with adorable little whines.<br/>- He sleeps curled up in foster moms bed and fully expects this arrangement to continue in his forever home.<br/>- He is happy to be held by absolutely anyone.<br/>Ideal Home: A quieter home where Sid can spend his days lounging in comfort, following his people around, and living his best senior life. A calm canine companion could be a bonus, but its not required.<br/><br/>Sid is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Hes available to residents of IL, CT and surrounding states.

One More Dog Rescue (Formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails)'s Adoption Policy
One More Dog Rescue (OMD), formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails, requires all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application and agree to a home visit prior to any adoption. Once the application is approved, a meet and greet will be scheduled between the potential adopter (s) and the dog. If the dog is adopted through One More Dog, an adoption contract must be signed, and we ask that a donation in the amount of $500.00 for puppies and adult dogs and $350.00 for senior dogs be made at the time of adoption to help our rescue cover a portion of the costs we incur through pull fees, vetting, and training.
