A short intro. I just got my first yorkie last week, she is a rescue so I don't know much about her history or age. Her name is Snickers. I believe she's a pure bred (not that it matters) because she has a breeders tat on her wee lil' belly. She is very clingy but, hopefully that will change with time.
I am a wife, mother and artist from British Columbia, Canada. I have another dog, Jack (australian cattle dog)and 3 cats, Dante`,Kiva and Buddy.
Looking forward to learning lots from this forum.

Welcome. So glad you rescued that little girl. Many Yorkoes tend to be lap dogs. They just love to cuddle with you. They also have no undercoat so they can get cold very easily and seek out a human or another pet for body heat. You might want to make sure she is warm enough. I hope things work out for you and her. Sometimes a rescue has been through a traumatic experience so they need they extra attention.

Best wishes.

Welcome! My Zeus is also adopted - they just love you unconditionally! Zeus is still clingy but he's come SOO much since we adopted him 11 months ago. He's OK with people picking him up and not freaking that they're going to take him away from me and he'll wander into other rooms. Milestone!

Thanks for the welcome.
I think my poor Snickers past treatment was less than stellar. She cowars at loud voices and hides under my table. She was apparently crated for meals and all night so, she spent most of the time in her extremely small crate. She has no crate here and sleeps on the bed with us (much to my husbands dismay). She has had puppies in the past but is now spayed or so I was told. She has peed in the house a bit but hopefully that will end soon.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
