Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chewy is a Yorkshire Terrier that was born April 4th 2016. We made Chewy part of our family in August 2016. Chewy is a very energetic and excitable dog. He was house trained in his early years, but that has since changed, likely due to the addition of another dog and 2 cats. This is part of the reason why we are looking to re-home him. In as little as 4 hours of roaming free in the house, we have found up to 5 puddles of urine. Additionally, he has never outgrown pulling the stuffing out of anything and that took a toll on furniture. This hasn’t always been a problem because someone was always home with him, but my wife has recently gone back to work full time and he is resigned to his cage all day, then again all night, unless the weather is favorable for staying outside. It breaks our heart that his quality of life has diminished, which is why we are looking for dog lover with no additional pets that will give him a life of freedom to roam.
