Piffy - Australian Terrier Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Piffy is a 10-year-old Australian Silky Terrier who weighs just 5lbs and needs a loving home where she can feel secure. She was surrendered after her guardian experienced housing instability and struggled to provide care while working long hours. Her former guardian reported increased barking while left alone, so Piffy needs a patient adopter who will take their time with her and make her feel safe and secure in a new home. This little senior deserves consistent companionship, and someone committed to caring for her through her golden years.
