He loves the beach and will be your beach buddy all day. We really do not know why he has not found a home. He is such a good boy. Yeah, he is a bit of a diva, but aren't all yorkies :-) Seriously, though, he is a great little dog and he will make a wonderful companion in an adult/older child home with a fenced yard. UPDATE 4/7/2025: Johnny Cash is such a good boy. He loves to run and play in the yard. He is full of energy and needs walking and zoomie time daily. We continue to monitor him for his CT and with medications and monitoring he is doing well. He is ready for adoption. We cannot understand why this guy is still here. Johnny Cash is new to us in rescue. He looks like a yorkie mix. He is definitely a terrier mix so he will need monthly trips to a professional groomer to maintain his coat. The shelter estimates his age to be around 2 years. So far Johnny Cash seems like a happy go lucky little boy. He is young and full of energy. If you have the time and energy to train a puppy, please apply now. He is a love bug! Johnny Cash is up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. He is ready for his new home. MEDICAL INFORMATION: Johnny Cash has a condition known as collapsing trachea. When he came to us from the shelter he had a bad case of kennel cough requiring treatment. Since then he continued to have issues with his trachea and we followed up with his vet to diagnose the condition. You can read more about collapsing trachea here. It can be managed by your local veterinarian with medication as well as other options but it should be monitored regularly.
