My story

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

Apply to Adopt Me!



Introducing little miss Twinkie, the most happy, joyous little Yorkie you’ll ever meet. She is around 1 1/2 years old  and weighs 8 pounds. Sadly, she was abandoned at a vet's office, skinny, covered in fleas and mosquito bites, and was so weak she could barely stand. This brave little girl fought hard to live. She went through extensive vet care and hospitalization, including blood transfusions. All of that is now behind her and sh makes every day an adventure. She loves her long walks and wants to say hi to everyone she meets. She loves people of all sizes and ages, and all dogs. Twinkie is very playful with her foster fur brothers and sisters that are around her size. She loves to play with toys, play tug-of-war, and chew on Himalayan cheese sticks. Twinkie also loves chasing lizards and sunning in the back yard, but her most favorite thing is playing with her foster siblings. We want her to go to a home with a secure fenced yard and with another playful pup around her size and playfulness. She has too much energy for a senior dog. She is so curious about everything around her. Twinkie is such an affectionate little sweetheart, likes her lap time and to be held, giving lots of cuddles and kisses. When it’s meal time, she is the first in line, definitely motivated by food. She is house trained and she sleeps well on the human bed quietly all night. She enjoys car rides. Twinkie is the cutest little baby girl and is all the wonderful things we all love about dogs. She would love to be part of your family and share that love with you. The specialty vet that Twinkie saw was not sure if her anemia was caused by the flea infestation or if it had an immune mediated cause, So therefore to be safe, the vet has recommended that she not be vaccinated, and it will be required of the new family to get Twinkie titer tested for rabies and DAPP/DHPP within 2 weeks. Titer testing provides evidence whether she has antibodies against a disease . Twinkie can not ever be boarded or taken to a dog park or be around unvaccinated dogs unless she has a current titer test that indicates she has a positive or high value of antibody levels. If you believe you have the perfect forever home for Twinkie, please complete an application and tell us more about your family.
