Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Worcester, Massachusetts

Esther is a 7 years, 2 months old female Yorkshire Terrier/Mix who weighs 6 pounds.

Esther is a lively little Yorkie with a big personality and an even bigger love for walks. She came to the shelter in need of medical care, but now she's feeling much better and ready to start her next chapter. Esther's daily walks are the highlight of her day, and she's enjoyed making lots of human friends along the way, especially the volunteers who spend time with her.

She does take a medication that may cost around $30 per month long-term, but in return you'll get a devoted companion who thrives on being close to her people. Esther would do best in a home where someone is around often or where she can tag along on daily adventures, and does sometime bark when left alone. She's ready to bring joy, energy, and plenty of tail wags to a home of her own. Esther may enjoy a home with other dogs, but they would have to meet first.

If you are interested in adopting Esther, please come to the shelter during our walk in hours, which are Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12-4pm. If you are unable to come during those times, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see what other times may be available by appointment.
