I took in a 9 year old Yorkie in January of this year. He was not getting the attention he deserved as well as he was in a family that had young children. My little guy was so happy to have a stay at home mommy though instead of having to be left home alone all day that he adjusted pretty quickly overall. It took many weeks for him to want to play with me.

Keep loving him and spoiling him. Give him toys and see if you can get him to play. Do take him everywhere in the car that you can. My Yorkie loves to go to Lowe's with us. Our Lowe's allows dogs, I would ask before you take him in. Take him to pet stores. Anywhere that you can. Some banks will allow you to bring dogs in.

I think he will come around and hopefully lose his depression as he grows to love you and enjoy seeing you. What does he do when you come home from somewhere? From day one mine was so happy to see me even if I only left him for a couple minutes. Mine will not eat now unless I am home. My husband and teenagers can be home with him all day, but if I am not here he will not eat until I get home.

We now have 2 Yorkie puppies and he is adjusting well to them.

Good luck with yours and thanks for giving him a home when he needed one.
