MEET Troy. Troy is a sweet little male yorkie who is 9 years old and weighs 8.4 lbs. Troy is being fostered in St. Augustine, FL. Due to Covid-19, all Florida foster dogs must be adopted in state. No exceptions will be made. UPDATED BIO 05/14/2020: Troy recently had surgery to remove his remaining two teeth and repairs to his nasal fistula were successfully completed. He will have his follow up exam on the 30th and if all goes well he will be ready for adoption. Troys surgery cost was $1,500.00 but he received the best care from a veterinarian dental specialist due to the delicate nature of the procedure. Troy has come such a long way since he been in his foster home. He gets along with the other 4 little resident yorkies in the house and the kitty cats. He loves going outside with the other dogs and they are teaching him how to be a beloved companion dog. Troy and the cats have an understanding now.
