Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Cotati, California

Meet Al Dente and Casserole, a delicious dish just waiting to be eaten right up (figuratively, please) by you. Al Dente is an introvert who needs time to settle in and prefers to live with older children/adults. His eyebrows come with its own zip code and his Yorkshire scruff has the perfect amount of texture. Casserole is an extroverted lovebug who loves to spend quality time with her humans, taking short walks or just relaxing in a nice quiet spot. They are both such rock stars! If you find paparazzi lurking in your bushes waiting to catch a glimpse of them, just give them the shot they want; you don't want to make enemies with those guys. Here's some notes from their foster: 21 June 2024: Observations at 10 days in foster home: Casserole and Al Dente are just the silliest pair of dogs I have ever fostered! Both have revealed happy, well-behaved dogs with just enough foolishness to induce hours of laughter. They will thrive in a home where big personalities are appreciated, and love and attention are aplenty. They are a fan favorite of everyone at Muttvillle and who comes across their path! Over the past 10 days, they have settled into my home routine quite well. Al Dente appears reserved at first, but quickly, his facade is exposed-he is so loving and silly himself! FYI. I am calling them by their former names Buddy (Al Dente) and Twiggy (Casserole) as they seemed to find peace in the familiar. (I have never done this with a foster, but I tried it and noticed a big change in their listening and comfort.) Both are great eaters. Meal times are monitored as Casserole finishes hers and goes to Al Dente's bowl, and Al Dente just steps aside. This might be why Miss Casserole is on a weight loss journey. She's doing great; her weight loss has been slow and steady, just how we want it! These two are the best of friends. Al Dente is actually the one who induces play time, throwing his cute little body into Casserole, who usually rubs her body, belly up, on a rug, bed, or blanket! He tends to mimic her. They love their "walkies"! When I reach for their walking gear, they lose their minds! Excitement ensues. We don't go super far (about 2 city blocks, maybe 1/2 mile for now) but they truly enjoy trotting the streets. So what's the deal? These two are PERFECT and nothing they do is a bother. However, I've observed one opportunity for training. Casserole is the leader of the mild separation anxiety train. She wants to go! My guess is their former guardian never left the two alone so they are still getting used to the idea. After some howls and barks, both dogs settle. I believe they will get the hang of it as the duration of barks gets shorter each time I leave, and they are low enough that my neighbors note they have never heard them. Casserole Mrs. Personality. She wants your attention! She wants to be adored! But she'll settle when you say no and take her nonsense elsewhere. She's fearless and curious, and did I mention silly? She is a friend to all. To give you an idea, I finally let the pair on the bed for some snuggles in the morning. When it was time to get up, I placed Al Dente on the floor and reached for Casserole, who, without any hesitation, leaped straight into the air, Wylie Coyote style. No thought. No fear! I grabbed her before she got too far. She's up for any and every adventure. You would think her shortie legs and robust waistline would slow her down, but she's trying her hardest with trots around the block. Casserole has nothing but joy in her body! Al Dente You would think Mr. Al Dente would be pale compared to Casserole, but nope, he brings the ying to her yang. He's quiet and joyful, sharp and sweet. He is also a friend to everyone but sometimes greets other dogs with a few barks and jumps of excitement. He often uses low-rider Casserole as a podium - standing on her back when he is excited. He likes to snuggle or sit nearby and is never demanding of anything. His unique looks (yes, this fella has a lion's mane) are an instant hit. Out of 50+ foster dogs, he has been, by far, the easiest dog I have ever bathed. Just laid in the sink and patiently waited. 13 June 2024: Observations at 24 hours in foster home: The best way to describe this duo: Casserole is the extravagant, "you only live once," wealthy woman living life by the seat of her pants, while Al Dente is the shy, practical accountant in oversized glasses carefully following the whirlwind - "We need to curb your spending ma'am." The three adjectives I'd use to describe Casserole are spunky, on-the-go, and "Pet me! Love me! Choose me!". For Al Dente, I'd say calm, quiet, and observant. They balance each other out perfectly. Both appear to be potty trained. Both are great eaters with no guarding behaviors. Both walk on a leash fairly well. They are friends to everyone, humans and dogs alike, while Casserole is in your face, and Al Dente is her shy backup. They do great in the car. Both haven't barked at the door or anything yet. Despite Casserole's robust back end and short legs, she gets around really well. I think this will improve as she loses those extra ounces. She can get up and down stairs (and don't try to help her; she's got this.) Al Dente is a little stiff after waking up but generally fairly agile. They both can do a slow, around-the-block walk. Despite needing to be together, they will sleep in different beds next to each other. Casserole doesn't like it when Al Dente isn't in the room with her, but Al Dente doesn't mind a break from Mrs. Personality. Overall, I think this pair's ideal environment consists of any person, couple, or family who would love to have a pair of senior mutts that will make them laugh daily. They don't seem bothered by city life but wouldn't mind in a quiet place to call home. Whoever takes this couple home has found the perfect pair of sweet and sassy, chill and chaos (Casserole isn't chaos but makes for a nice play on words).

Hello friends! 🐕 I'm a sweet guy who may not make the best first impression because I'm really shy and awkward. But once you get to know me and offer me some treats, I start to warm up. I prefer dogs my size over human children, they can be a bit overwhelming for me. I need someone patient who understands that I need time to adjust and build my confidence. I may take longer than expected, but I'm really looking forward to finding my forever home!BakerMy name is Baker, I'm a Yorkie Terrier Dachsund type mix and I am still pretty young at just under 2 years old. I'm not a big guy, I'm about 10-12 lbs. I need a special home. Read more about me!TEMPERAMENT:Shy at first and warms up.Active (puppy energy).Shows fear of menWould do well with a playful dog friendSKILLSDoing great with potty training.Crate trained.Good with dogs.Has not been exposed to cats.Would probably be ok with older gentle children 12 and up.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes belly rubs.Couch cuddler.Likes playing with other dogs.Suggest training (basic manners).ONE LAST THING:Baker is a very sweet, playful young pup. Potential adopters should know that he will need time to settle into his new home and will need to be bribed with treats on treats on treats to love them. He is super shy at first and can be barky with new people. While he will want desperately to be pet once he warms up he, will take time to actually allow you to pet him. Once he has bonded, it is a forever kind of love. He adores snuggling and cuddling with his favorite people and doggie friends.Baker adores running and playing with other dogs and is ball obsessed. He will wait until one of his furry friends goes outside to go out himself. Baker is a bit of a homebody. He gets incredibly anxious on car rides.Baker is doing well with potty training as long as he is let out every hour or so. He is crate trained and sleeps quietly throughout the night. He will need to be crated when left alone since he gets bored when left to his own devices and can be a terrier and tear something up. But if you put in the time, Baker is an absolute love.July 6, 2024, 6:55 pm

Meet Olive. She is a fiesty, happy little girl. She walks well on a leash (and thoroughly enjoys her walks), loves to eat, housebroken, and sleeps much of the day away in her bed or on the couch. She came to rescue covered in filth and mats. That gave her a skin condition that required several months of treatment and recovery. But she is ready to go now. Her new adopter(s) will get the pleasure of watching her bald spots disappear! Many of those spots have fuzz on them already but a couple may ultimately remain hairless. She is only 6 pounds and cute as a button so, on walks, be prepared to hear over and over "oh, look at her...so cute". When she comes across dogs on walks, she is so excited she almost comes across aggressive. But when she gets face to face, she is so happy to meet them! Given the shape she was in when she came to us, it appears she has had a tough time in the past. She is still coming out of her shell and learning to trust. I have had the pleasure of caring for her for a couple of months thru her skin problem and she has come to trust me. It has been such a pleasure to watch. She plays with me, happy to see me, lets me put meds on, etc. She still has food aggression but, again, given her trust of me, I am now able to take her food without a problem. If you think she might fit into your home, please visit WrenYorkieRescue.org, click on Forms, fill out the adoption application, and mail in or submit online so we can set up a meet and greet.

Meet Jessie. The first thing to say about her is how sweet and loving she is. Always so happy to be around her family. She has advanced cataracts but that doesn't seem to bother her or slow her down. She is always in the mix! She has memorized her environment which includes a 4 stair stairway! She is the favorite of many of the volunteers...just sweet sweet sweet. If you think she might fit into your home, please visit WrenYorkieRescue.org, click on Forms, fill out the adoption application, and mail in or submit online so we can set up a meet and greet. She will make you smile every day!.
