Story
Hi, I’m Hamlet . . . I’m a 3-year-old Yorkshire Terrier blend who weighs 17 lbs. I’m an affectionate boy looking for my “FUR”ever home. Not to toot my own horn, but I’m looking pretty dapper after my fresh groom. I will need a special person who can accept me just the way I am.
General Behavior: Hamlet is a curious, clever, and playful young boy. He’s got tons of charm and makes sure to show it!
Likes & Dislikes: Hamlet would rate snuggling high on his list of favorite things. In fact, this lovebug wants to snuggle as much as possible and give lots of kisses. Although he is quite playful, he doesn’t seem to have much interest in toys. He can be anxious during nighttime walks or when noises startle him, but we are hopeful this will improve with time (and knowing that he is safe with his new human).
Training: Hamlet has done fabulously with house training and will need to continue being let out on a frequent and consistent schedule. He walks well on a leash and loves car rides. He still needs to work on his basic manners, but he’s a smart boy and food-motivated, which will be helpful for additional training.
Medical: Hamlet will only require his monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, just like any other dog.
Other Animals: Having spent time on the streets, Hamlet is unsure about other animals. For that reason, Hamlet will need to be the only dog in the home. A home without cats will also be required.
Children: Hamlet has no experience with children. Due to his inexperience, small size, and anxiousness, a home without children is necessary. This requirement is essential to set Hamlet up for success.
Home: Happy Hamlet will need to live in a single-family home. He tends to bark when left alone, so homes with shared walls would not be suitable. A new human willing to work with him on his anxiety will be needed. At night, Hamlet is happy to sleep in the "big person" bed and, guess what? SNUGGLE!
Grooming: Hamlet will need regular brushing, nail trims, and professional grooming. The cost of grooming should be something a potential adopter considers.
Overall: With positive training and reinforcement, along with a patient and committed human, the sky's the limit for Hamlet. He would make the perfect snuggle buddy and has lots of love to offer.
