Yorkshire Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Wilma! SEE STRAYCATION UPDATE BELOW!

This 8-pound yorkie mix is a year old and cute as a button and is ready head home with a family that will adore her! Wilma had a nice weekend away from the kennel and we are happy to share all the wonderful things we learned about her!

While in her foster home, Wilms spent time with some kiddos and enjoyed hanging with them. She even met their cat and had no interest, so there could be potential to live in a home with a feline friend. Wilma enjoys her soft, plush toys and even did well in the bath. Both toys and food can be taken away with no issue. This pint-sized princess also does good on leash and rides well in the car.

Wilma lives to snuggle and will need lots of patience and encouragement in her new home to help build her confidence. She will benefit from continued training, daily exercise, and all the love you can give her. She will need time to acclimate to her new surroundings and will pay back your kindness with years of happy memories. At the end of the day, she sleeps quietly through the night in her crate, dreaming of her forever family.

Based on our evaluation, we feel Wilma will do best in an active, but predictable home with adults or kids ages eight and up. She may have the ability to live with other animals and we are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby.

If you think she could be the girl for you, don't wait! Head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for our wonderful Wilma!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Yorkshire Terrier, also known as Yorkie, is a small and glamorous toy dog breed known for its long, flowing coat and spirited personality. Originating from England, these affectionate and intelligent dogs make wonderful companions for individuals and families alike. With a weight of around 7 pounds, Yorkies are portable and adaptable, thriving in both city apartments and rural settings. Despite their small size, they possess a bold and confident nature, always ready for fun and adventure.
