Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Gilbert, Arizona

Banx is a charming 10-year-old Yorkie/Poodle mix weighing 12 pounds. Don't let his age fool you--this curious little guy wants to be involved in everything that's going on and loves being part of the action.

Banx is housetrained, crate trained, and has excellent manners. He knows basic commands like sit and leave it, walks beautifully on a leash, and even knows when it's time for his daily stroll. At night, he enjoys sleeping in his crate, especially when it's in the bedroom near his people.

One of Banx's most endearing traits is his talent for begging. When he wants a treat, he'll sit up on his hind legs and show off just how adorable he is--it's hard not to give in to that sweet face!

While he may be a little shy when meeting new people, Banx warms up quickly and soon becomes a loyal and affectionate companion. He also gets along well with other dogs.

Banx is currently being treated for Valley Fever and is doing well with his care. Our Adoption Counselors will share more with interested adopters, regarding his treatment. He's looking for a loving home where he can continue to thrive.
