About Geoffrey

Geoffrey is a fun, loving, bouncy, athletic, sweet, and extremely friendly, eight-year-old, 6.8-pound, male Yorkshire Terrier looking for a loving guardian. Geoffrey is incredible loyal and loving. He give kisses, loves to go for walks, play fetch, and enjoys meeting every person and every dog he passes. In the home, he's friendly towards dogs and humans. He loves to snuggle in bed with you and sit on your lap during the day. He is perfectly housebroken and non-destructive in the house. The only imperfection Geoffrey has is his bark. When he wants something you're eating, or wants to play fetch, or hears something outside, he has a very loud bark. He doesn't bark incessantly, just when he needs to communicate. For that reason, an apt or condo might not work for him. Geoffrey came to Friends of Petraits Rescue when a dog-lover heard barks coming out of their neighbor's garage. She remembered a teenage boy who used to walk a Yorkie, but then stopped. Turned out, it was the kid's dog and when he tired of him, the family threw him in the garage and left him there. He had as that time only been to a vet one time when he was nine weeks old and just purchased. They happily relinquished him to Friends of Petraits Rescue at the neighbor's suggestion. This guy is so social and loving. I can't even imagine the heartbreak of isolation. But, he is incredibly resilient and now, very healthy. Geoffrey has been professionally groomed, neutered, vaccinated for rabies, bordetella and distemper, fecal and heartworm tested negative, on monthly heartworm and flea preventative, and micro-chipped. He also just had a dental cleaning and had 11 teeth pulled. Geoffrey's adoption fee of $400 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. He comes with absolutely everything you need to care for him: favorite food, bowls, leash, his favorite toys, bed, etc. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Geoffrey, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-adoption-application/ and follow up to meet him by e-mailing [email protected] He is being fostered in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood. He does have a prey drive, so while he can easily live with other friendly dogs; he is best in a home without cats, guinea pigs, etc.
