Story
This little beauty is Camila! She came into our foundation when her owner who had her since she was a puppy reached out to us to surrender her because she felt she didn't have the time to dedicate to her. It's ok because Camila deserves better and we know that perfect home is out there for her! She is a 4 yr old, Silky Yorkie that is such a sweet girl with lots of fun energy! We are looking for a home with no other dogs as she can be a bit bossy along with owners that are not gone long hours during the day. Camila LOVES people, but does take a bit to warm up to men. She is a dog that yearns for love and most likely did not get that in her former home. She seems to get the hang of potty training quickly in a new environment. Camila deserves a home that will dote and love on her like she deserves and we know that home is out there for her! Please contact us at: gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020 Camila is spayed,vaccinated, and microchipped. We only adopt in the Greater LA areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required.

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET ELODIE…a sweetheart of a 20 lb, 3 yr old, gray and white, Silky/Skye Terrier X…who came to us from the Inland Valley Humane Society. Not our typical pull, Elodie needed out and we came to her rescue! At first arrival, not uncommon, Elodie was confused and rather shy. But, it didn’t take her long to come to us and give gentle little kisses to let us know she was calming down. We learned very quickly that Elodie is a decorator and if she doesn’t like how things are placed, she will move them — most likely, she doesn’t like being bored! So, we decided she wanted company and placed another dog with her and she was happier. While she still would prefer a human’s company, she settled down. She loves to go for long walks and is good on the leash. It takes her a little time to find just the right spot! With outside access, her potty training seems good, but we never guarantee. Elodie is still rather reserved, as she just arrived a little bit ago, but she is warming up more and more every day. She is a good eater, a little fearful of new people on the street but her social skills kick in and she is just a wonderful, loving, affectionate girl. The ideal home for her would be one with or without another dog — but not one where she is left alone many hours. She doesn’t really engage that much, and we know that nobody is home 24/7, but a home where the family works from home or someone is there would be the best for Elodie. She is good with kids, dogs, not sure about cats but LOVES HER HUMANS!!! Does Elodie sound like a dog who could sing a “melody” in your home? She’s waiting!!! Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, groomed, vet checked, dewormed, deflea'd and come with a leash, collar and ID If you are interested in adopting a pup from Lhasa Happy Homes, please complete the Adoption Application before calling.

Story
Leo is a wonderful little guy. Very loving, sweet, playful and cute. But unfortunately my work schedule is changing and will not allow me to have a dog. I would need to travel for work often and stay away for days and I don't really have anyone else to care for him when i am away. He is afraid of other dogs after he was ganged up by a group of dogs and also was attacked by a coyote at my backyard in OC. Thank God I was able to save him but now he does not trust dogs with rare exceptions. He likes cats but he has so much energy, wants to play all the time and that will most likely annoy your cats. We love him very much but it will be of his best interest to find him a new family with a regular work routine. This breed really likes steady routines.

Adopting a Silky Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Silky Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Silky Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Silky Terrier is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Silky Terriers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $3,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Silky Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in the breed. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Silky Terriers in your area.

Silky Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

DNA evidence confirms that several breeds are involved in the Silky Terrier's lineage, among them Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and the Tasmanian Broken-coated Terrier.

Silky Terriers are often mistaken for large Yorkies.

In the early 1900s, immigrants from the UK would bring their Yorkshire Terriers with them to their new home in Australia and the Silky Terrier originated from cross-breeding with the local Australian terriers.
