Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie: Stacy: Petfinder
Stacy is a 12 year old Yorkie. She was taken to a shelter by her owner who indicated that she was surrendering her because of Stacy's health problems, however no problems were given to shelter workers when she was asked to elaborate. We do know Stacy has a very bad heart murmur which most likely has become worse with age. She also has some incontinence problems. She was never spayed and at her age and with her heart murmur it might not be feasible. Regardless, she will need to remain in foster care for a few weeks as we evaluate any possible health issues. All of that out of the way, let's discuss this beautiful girl. She weighs 8 lbs and her foster mom says that she looks like a little fox with her pointy little nose with white hairs framing her muzzle. Stacy had many mats in her long coat but we were able to brush them out with lots of patience and great detangling products and now she looks beautiful. However she is camera shy and it is difficult to get photos of her or to get her to look at the camera! She is a sweet girl, but somewhat jealous and nippy towards other animals who go near "her mommy", whoever that may be at the moment. She is not house trained and has some problems with incontinence. We will rule out any medical reasons for this and if there is a medical reason, it will be treated. For now Stacy will remain in foster care as she is evaluated and her issues addressed. We will update her information periodically.
