Meet Tiny [Adoption Pending]

Tiny  [called "TeeTee" by his foster mom] was 'found' by someone who tried to sell him instead of search for his owner.  A very savvy rescuer paid the 'fee' so she could bring Tiny into foster care while we searched for his owner.  It's been several weeks, and his owner has never been located. Tiny is a young Yorkshire Terrier.  He has it all in the 'tiniest' of packages: affectionate, friendly, portable, pretty quiet, crate trained, mostly potty trained, likes other dogs and even kids although he is a bit reserved when meeting strangers.  All this, and just a bit of Terrier tenacity.  Currently, he weighs only 3.5 pounds and is underweight.  Tiny had a health exam and received all age-appropriate vaccines.  Bloodwork was done to learn if he had an underlying medical issue to explain his lack of weight.  Bloodwork results did not reveal anything.  However, he does have significant luxating patellas in both knees.  Tiny does need to be neutered but needs to gain at least a pound before he can have neuter surgery. In his foster home, Tiny enjoys following his foster mom around, hanging out with the resident dogs and chewing on Nyla bones. He is a true 'Velcro' dog. He takes cues from the other dogs on how to respond to the doorbell ringing, people coming in the home, and going outdoors to potty.  He is a good student and fast learner! Tiny tends to attach to one person even where others are present.  If he is coddled too much, he will develop the dreaded "small dog syndrome" [ How to Understand Small Dog Syndrome (Plus How to Fix It) (wikihow.com)]   We are seeking a very special home for Tiny where he will never again need to worry about being sold on a street corner.  No children under 12 years of age please due to his small size and tendency to get underfoot.  He would love another canine companion to hang out with....one on the smaller size so he doesn't get stepped on.   https://www.facebook.com/reel/1106305723814041         Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to    Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
