Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Abby Yorkie Maltese Terrier Mix
.
110217
I am a little girl 8.3lbs of daintiness and appear to be a Yorkie Maltese Mix.
Just so you know there is no guarantee what breed I am so if your looking for hypo allergenic I can still produce dander which is what most people are allergic to I will not be the dog for you.. I do not appear to shed but my coat is not exactly in prime condition, I do have dry scaly skin and came with fleas but things are getting better and no fleas
.
I am 2yrs old maybe on the younger side
I am housebroken
Spayed/vaccinated /heartworm neg/fecal negative/microchip
I am getting crate trained and do well but will cry at first but do settle down but prefer to stay out and I do very well with no damage from play or chewing
I am a super friendly pup and love the attention of people and would probable do great with kids.
I seem to be a very alpha dog with other dogs and not sure if it will grow to aggression so and I would really prefer to be the only pup so I can get all the attention I deserve..
I was named Abby and just learning my name and some basic commands I know nothing at this point ... update I have since learned sit and seem to recognize my name
I am a runner when I am allowed in the yard I just run and run so I must not have had the freedom to do so with my previous family. I WILL need more work not to bolt out door on my family I am learning wait here but my training if I run I go into a yard where I am safe.. I did show a little digging once but corrected right away and could be someone who can escape a yard by digging under a fence an with my skinny body squeeze thru but my foster home yard is very secure. I would prefer a yard and a secure yard cause I do love to run and will play with all kinds of toys and prefer soft squeaky ones. I am a very active girl with spunk
.
I do have pray drive when it comes to squirrels and birds so cats could be an issue in the home and there is no way to test for that here.
I am very very interested in squirrels and will chase them but maybe with time they will not be so fascinating to me, maybe I never seen them before.
.
I bark when you leave me but do settle down
and just hang out so apartment living may not work and with time I may stop as I feel comfortable. I do get to sleep on the furniture here and have multiple dog beds and love to snuggle with you on the couch and my foster mom sleeps with me some times so I feel loved
.
I am looking for my perfect family who will love me furever could that be you?
.
I do have an adoption fee to cover my vetting and to help save the next pup.
I am fully Vetted/spayed/Microchipped/Heartworm Neg/fecal negative also under flea/tick treatment as well
I am looking for my perfect home within 50 miles of Chicago Illinois an application and home visit a requirement
I am such a good little doggie!! Cute too!!

*** Please be patient, we are a very small organization and we all sadly have to work and have families just like you. We also know the excitement of finding a pet that could be your furever family member and we receive numerous inquiries
from other families who feel the same way. **Our primary goal is matching the perfect family with our pups and do not practice first come, first serve**. Do not be offended if your not the right fit we can work with you or recommend another rescue.** We are setting up many meet and greets with our pups and the family could be found prior to you even getting to meet them. We will make sure all potential adopters who inquired are updated if the pup has been adopted. We do not want to waste anyone's time and recommend you keep looking while you wait to hear from us and as always Thank You for adopting and not shopping. ***
Adoption applications will be sent via email only, we do not have them posted online anywhere or on a website
