Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Update 06/15/14: Hi Yorkie fans, it's your best pal Cashew again! I've realized I will never catch those darn squirrels and decided I would rather develop my couch potato skills! My FM's family moved in, and I just love that people are home all day. I snuggle next to them. My foster home now has three cats, a big dog and three small dogs including me, and everyone just loves me. I still like being held like a baby, being petted, and I am a very good doggy when being brushed and bathed. FM says I am just perfect in every way. You'd never know I am nine years old, I am so cute and energetic. And you'd never guess I have no teeth either, as long as my dry food is mixed with wet food I can eat like a champ. FM's family says I am as sweet as can be. Adopt me, and you will know what true love really means.
Updated Bio 05/06/2014: Hello! It's me, Cashew. I'm a 9 year old Yorkshire Terrier that is being fostered in Homestead, FL. My charm and sweetness have completely won over FM and her whole family - they say I am the best foster ever! Even the cats like me, as do the big dogs, the normally-cranky old poodle who curls up next to me, and all the neighborhood dogs who sniff me through their fences and wag their tails when I go for walks. The people like me because I like being held like a baby, I like sitting next to people on sofas, and I just adore going for walks. I also like chasing squirrels! I hardly ever bark. I love treats and getting petted. And I will look at you with eyes of love. I'm now a healthy weight, and I eat with gusto. Thanks for thinking of adopting me for a forever home!
Initial Bio 04/05/2014: MEET CASHEW! Cashew is 9 years young and weighs only 5.8 lbs; he is being fostered in Homestead, FL.
Lucky me! I was rescued from a high-kill shelter by United Yorkie Rescue. I don't remember how I ended up in there, but I'm so happy to be out! I'm loving life now. My FM took me to the dogtor for a check-up and to fix the little hole I had in my gums inside my mouth (oral nasal fistula) and then the dogtor took out the last couple of toofers I had because they were in really bad shape and they hurt me a lot. I also had a neuter and all of my vaccines. Dogtor says I'm completely healthy! Yay for me!
FM says I'm smart because I'm house-trained and I'm always on my best behavior. I also love to cuddle, give kisses and play. I like other doggies and I don't mind cats. I really love going out for walks and enjoying the breeze on my face. I also like to run and play in the back yard, too. You can say I love to be out and about & meeting new people; but most of all I love to be cuddled up on a lap or in my bed. FM says I give the best kisses! I'm ready to share my yummy kisses with my new family.
NOTE: FM said that since I'm a little guy, I need to go to an adult only home. No children! So if you think you would love to have me for your own, please contact my FM for more information.
Love, Cashew xoxo
