Yorkshire Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

Benny

A tiny, quiet companion who just wants to be close to his person.

Benny is a 10-year-old, 4-lb sweetheart who loves nothing more than being with his people - in your arms or snoozing nearby. He's calm, gentle, and the perfect little shadow.

He has low vision (cataracts) and may have some hearing loss, so he can startle if touched unexpectedly. With gentle handling and a consistent routine, he navigates just fine.

Benny is a dream housemate - super quiet (no barking!) and ideal for a work-from-home setup. He enjoys fresh air too, especially when carried in a sling.

He's great with other dogs and mostly housetrained, doing best on a regular schedule and overnight without accidents.

Benny has occasionally growled if touched in a way that caused discomfort, but overall he's a loving, affectionate little dog who enjoys giving kisses.

If you're looking for a calm, devoted companion, Benny is ready to be your tiny shadow. is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines.

The adoption fee for this dog is $250 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.

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.
