Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Sarasota, Florida

Sweet little Hannah is a 1 year old female, black/white, no shedding, Maltese/yorkie mix who weighs 9lbs. We do not know her exact breed. Hannah was rescued from a shelter where it was deemed she was not going on the adoption floor. Hannah was fearful, shy and very withdrawn in the shelter. The shelter felt it was in her best interest to leave for rescue. Hannah was a matted mess. Layers of matted hair pulling on her skin. Underneath all that hair was small scabs from neglect. Hannah was very fearful her first 24 hours, but once she realized her foster mom’s house was a happy place, she settled in. Hannah has been groomed and is still pending her spay surgery. This little girl will still require some patience and an abundance of love. Does well with other dogs and cats. Leash training was stressful for Hannah, so there is still training needed. We know Hannah had some trauma in her first few months, but have no idea her story. We wish they could tell us.

Adoption fee $400
