About Lady

10 year old female Yorkie Terrier mix, about 8 pounds. Lady is looking for a new home, are you her true match? This adorable 10ish year old Yorkie Terrier came to Smidget Rescue as a transfer from an overcrowded shelter. When she arrived at her foster home she was skin and bones, had a horrible cough and was completely in shock after her shelter experience. Also, no one had ever had her spayed. Now little Lady is at the right weight, the cough is mostly gone (she will always have a bit of one due to her age and possible collapsing trachea), and she follows her foster family around everywhere. Lady loves car rides and would be great in an office setting. The only time her fosters have heard her bark is when another dog tries to invade her chosen bed, a valid reason to get cranky. Lady is not a lap dog, preferring to sleep in a nice cushy bed in the same room with a human. If you put her on your lap, she will only want to stay for a few minutes, the definition of an independent Terrier. As befits her age, Lady does not believe in 'walks'. She is in the 'very slow stroll' club. However, she is great in a dog stroller. Her adopter will need to be able to continue Lady's liver supplement and be able to take her in for well senior checks (with bloodwork) every six months. Additionally, Lady came to Smidget Rescue with three badly damaged disks in her neck and back. While she is not on any medication for them right now, it will likely become needed in the future. Because of Lady's spine issues, she needs a home where there are no flights of stairs and no young children. Lady is looking forward to meeting you. Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older, and always before being placed in their new homes. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. If you live within a five-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
