HI Yorkie lovers!!
This is my first post. I have a 9 month old yorkie and recently my fiance and I were asked if we would take in a 12 year old yorkie. His owner is going into an assisted living home and is not able to take him with. If he doesn;t find a home, he will be put down. Davis (the 9 MO) is my first dog ever, so I have no experience with older dogs, their needs ect. I'm calling petcare to have him added to our pet insurance, getting his vet records and taking Davis over to meet him a few times before we bring him into our home.. but what else should I do ? What can I expect? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
