Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Louie is the sweetest and most likable Yorkie ever!!!! He is a very young 8 years old and weighs 12 pounds. Louie also has diabetes and will need to be on a strict regimen of two insulin shots daily. This is a very minor and does not in any way alter his health or life span; just imperative he receive his insulin every twelve hours. He will come with a two month supply of insulin and syringes. The shots are extremely easy to give. He is great with other dogs as he is not dominant and let’s them be what they want to be. He now lives with a very domineering Yorkie and they get along fine and participate in roughhouse play every day without ever going to the next step. He is completely house broken and will come and get you if he needs to go out. He loves to eat and will beg for food and treats frequently. MOST of the time a firm NO will quiet him but sometimes that doesn’t work and a treat is necessary. If in the night he needs to go out (which is rare) he will stand on you with his “sharp” little feet and 12 lbs. You will take him out. And, he is around 3 grand kids frequently, 2 and 3 year olds and he is fine.
Other personality traits:
LOVES the outdoors. HE LIVES IN A SECURELY FENCED YARD – no one gets out and no one gets in. Barks at everything moving outside and he and the crows have a constant discussion. We have one crow in particular that loves aggravating Louie – will sit in the yard until Louie – “full steam ahead” gets within 10 feet and the crow gently lifts off and even at times flies over the yard very low to get Louie up and barking. A real lover boy and will take all the attention
We do not make money on the yorkies we adopt to new families, we use whatever remaining money we have to help other yorkies in need. NC Yorkie Rescue, Inc. is a small group of dedicated and sincere yorkie lovers. We take all yorkies, regardless of age or health issues. We are in the process of applying for our 501(c)(3) and are a non-profit group. A home visit may be performed before the adoption is approved and an adoption application must be submitted and approved as well. All of our yorkies come with complimentary training sessions, either by a personal visit to the office or a telephone consultation, to help their transition into their new home. Please contact NCYorkieRescue@AOL.com for more information and be sure to visit www.NCYorkieRescue.org and fill out an adoption application, located on the top of the page - FORMS, to be eligible for adoption. Thank you for wanting to adopt a rescued yorkie, and please always spay and neuter your pets!
