My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.

A Note From Demi.....

> Because I'm a nine year survivor of the commercial breeding system....

> *I prefer dogs over people by 10000 %
> *Don't like to be picked up. My fear will cause me to wiggle and attempt to get away, so please move slowly!
> *Potty training is difficult for me, even though foster mom is home with me all day.
> *LOVE TO EAT!
> *Won't come when called unless I have another dog to follow.
> *Need someone with a lot of experience and tons of patience.
> *I talk a lot and am quite sassy!
> *Will sleep in my kennel at night beside you, I like that!
> *I will run if I think you are even planning on picking me up. I will put myself in a corner. But if you pick me up gently and talk to me, then that's acceptable.
> *Sometimes I fall asleep in foster mom's lap...that makes her very happy.
> *Toys-I'm curious about them but don't know how to play yet.
> *Basking in the warm sunshine is my favorite thing to do!
> *Doggy friends are very important to me, would love to have two or three in my forever home.
> *Please understand that my distrust of humans runs deep and I need someone who is patient and will move slowly and never chase me.

Your reward will be the sound of my little feet following you every place you go. Eventually, you WILL see the love and gratitude in my eyes.

Demi, short for demitasse,

Her future is so bright, she's gotta wear shades! Demi (a.k.a. Ittybit) is ready for adoption! She is the sweetest little Yorkie who takes a hot minute to warm up. However, once she knows she is safe, she'll be your shadow! Demi is 9, but, believes she is 3! She has been spayed and has completed all her dental work. She does require a special diet due to a medical condition.

This little love is great with other dogs and does equally as well with cats. She would really benefit from having a companion dog to curl up next to. Because she comes directly out of a commercial breeding facility, her new family must be patient. She is eager to learn and has become proficient at using a ramp to get up on the bed or couch. It should be noted that Demi is also superior in vocal expression when she wants a treat or simply feels like talking!

The suggested adoption donation for Demi is a minimum of $250 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.

Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
