Meet Meerkat

Adoption Fee: $700   Meerkat is a 4 month old Yorkie x Min Pin mix who is ready to find her ‘Meerkat Manor’! This teeny 5 pound gal leapt out of the shelter into the arms of her rescuer and she hasn’t looked back since! Meerkat is endlessly adorable and loving and will be the best companion for any home. She has a short coat and tiny little legs, which means she will be an amazing fit for a purse (or three). Speaking of purses, she also rocks an accessory and would love a chic wardrobe in her new home. Meerkat can’t wait to meet you and find her happily ever after!    Meerkat is the dictionary definition of “man’s best friend” for her people. To know Meerkat is to have a best friend and loyal companion for life. She has gained her confidence more and more as the days go by and has begun bounding around outside with her toys happily. She loves to sniff out all there is to smell in the yard, get her tan on on the patio, curl up on a warm blanket as the day gets colder, and collect treats for being so dang cute. Meerkat is so curious and has boundless enthusiasm for finding new things to love, and it makes her the best little friend you could want. She is so playful but can keep herself occupied when she needs to as well. As long as she has a soft toy, she’s good to go. This loving girl can’t wait to explore the world with her forever home.  Meerkat starts her day at 6:30 AM and goes right outside for a potty trip. She then comes inside for breakfast and snuggles which she soaks up relentlessly. Throughout the day, Meerkat spends her time playing and napping on repeat. Tons of toys follow her around the house and sometimes she even passes out right on top of a plush pile when she needs a break. Meerkat gets a snack around noon and then has dinner at 4:30 PM. By around 8 PM, Meerkat is pretty wiped out from a busy day of playing and falls asleep cuddling on the couch as she gets pets and kisses. After one last trip outside for potty, she heads into her crate at 10 PM.  Meerkat gets along with the resident dog and has encouraged him to play tug-of-war all day long! Meerkat has been on a few walks and has been learning the ways of the neighborhood dogs. She knows how to use the doggie door and is making progress on her potty training as the days go by. She is so adorable and we know that she will be an absolute amazing addition to just about any home, so don’t delay in applying to take her home!    Meerkat is an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. She would love a resident dog or could thrive as a solo pup. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.
