My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Define Yorki (noun): A tiny tornado of fur and sass, known for the ability to turn a boring day into a charismatic adventure. Often mistaken for a walking ball of floof on a mission to steal hearts, treats, and unsuspecting squeaky toys! Approach with caution, as the Yorki possess the uncanny ability to melt even the sternest of hearts with adorable antics.
Warning: may cause uncontrollable giggling and an irresistible urge to boop their tiny noses.
Yep, that sounds about right! I'm a pint-sized pup with a story that's almost too shocking to believe! It all started a few months ago when I was diagnosed with a rare condition called Bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes, which is a fancy term for a glitch in my hips leaving me feeling like a floppy noodle trying to strut my stuff. A walk in the park - was not a walk in the park, but I faced my challenge head-on and emerged from corrective surgery with a spirited swagger, and a little hitch in my giddy up!
Yeah, it's a bit of a plot twist, but I've still got spunk! I might be small, but my energy levels give life to every party! In my mind, I am as big as a Great Dane, and I'm always up for a game of chase the tickle fingers or getting real enthusiastic with my zoomies! Small companions are a welcomed energy outlet too; in fact, I used to live with other dogs and cats. I have been told that I am a bit irrational with larger dogs when I walk by. But like I said, I am basically the biggest dog on the block.
However, when it's time to curl up and cuddle, it's a good thing I am actually only 5lbs! I am the master of claiming laps as my throne. It truly doesn't matter to me, Mom's lap, Dad's lap, little Timmy's lap from down the road – I am well aware that every lap is fit for a prince such as myself!
If you're looking for a travel-sized pup with a big personality and a heart as big as the moon, look no further! With me by your side, every day will feel like a royal celebration full of sweet puppy kisses! Submit your application at the MAS website linked below!
