Meet 13 year old, 8 lb. Sweet Pea. Even though she is 13 she sure doesn’t act or move like a senior girl. She is very agile for her age. She came to our rescue as an owner surrender through no fault of her own. Her previous owner rescued her when a distant relative passed away. They thought it would be good for their female yorkie to have a companion after their other yorkie passed away. However, the resident yorkie did not like the addition of Sweet Pea and they did not get along and fought. As hard as it was for her owners that loved Sweet Pea, they knew it was best for both Sweet Pea and their other dog if Sweet Pea was surrendered to Yorkie Luv Rescue so she wouldn’t be hurt anymore in fights and have to defend herself as both girls wanted to be the Alpha and were food agressive.
Sweet Pea is mostly deaf but she does hear certain sounds. Her eyes are a little cloudy but she seems to see fine. She likes to go on walks but don’t pull her leash tight because she will pull the brakes. You need to walk at her pace! Hahaha. She gets along great with other dogs but she can be food agressive so her foster parents seperate her from her 4 legged friends for meals. She also loves to have you near her when she is eating. In fact she loves to be with you wherever you are.
She does wear a diaper because she marks in the house. But it is really a non-issue with the diapers as she doesn’t mind wearing them and is very good when you take them on and off of her.
Here are some words from her previous owner when prescribing Sweet Pea:
“Sweet Pea loves to relax on the sofa next to you, or follow you everywhere you go. She is quiet and very sweet. She walks well and likes to go for a short walk in the morning and evening. She does wear a diaper because she will mark, I use Target newborn diapers and cut a hole for her tail. She is fine with wearing the diaper during the day. She sleeps on the bed with us with out the diaper. If she is kenneled I leave the diaper off her also.”
She is really a sweetie. She would do well in a home where her owner is home most of the time and will take her for short walks daily. She does well with other dogs but not with a dog who is an Alpha.
Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, micro chip, bloodwork and her dental. If you have the perfect home for Sweet Pea and would like to meet her please fill out an adoption application.
This is Ernie who is one of our Christmas fosters that we rescued from the West Valley Shelter. He is 3 1/2 years old and weighs 10 pounds. He has been doing great in his foster home and gets along with other dogs, but he really needs a quiet home where he is either the only dog or there is another dog his own size. It was originally thought that he was not trusting of men but that is not the case. He is just very timid and will growl and snap out of fear when meeting people. Once he is comfortable with you on his own terms (FYI lots of treats help break the ice) he is very loving and wants to snuggle with you. Because it is hard for him when he meets people, we currently have him on prozac and he will be working with our behaviorist to see if we can eliminate the prozac and help him feel safe around new people. He loves to be outdoors and go on walks and play. He also loves to burrow under a blanket and be left alone. He would make a wonderful companion. He would do best in a home with no children.
