Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rusty, a 4yr old Yorkie, is one of the sweetest boys around!! He is quite shy but once he warms up, he is your shadow. He does bond quickly. He is great with other dogs, slow intros needed because he can be skiddish. He is curious about cats, but never at a concerning level. He has his neuter and dental scheduled. He does ok with older kids, no children under 10 (he is always underfoot and could get hurt). He had a rough start but is enjoying the pampered life now. He has done so well with house training, with only 1 accident in his crate. Once fully house trained he would love to sleep in bed with you, over a crate. Not the dog for an apartment, as he does bark when separated, he does calm down but could cause issues with neighbors. Did amazing for his first grooming session ever!!! He is a purebred Yorkie, but we do have his papers.
