Lincoln - Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Louisville, Kentucky

Lincoln
Yorkie
2 yrs old
Adoption fee $250
Includes: Neuter, vaccines, chip, vetting

Lincoln will be neutered next week and should be able to place shortly after. He received his shots and wellness exam a couple of weeks ago at Hopewell. He is a healthy 2 year old weighing approximately 12 lbs. He is a quiet dog, and very sweet. He minds well and is adjusting well to our household routine. He gets along well with our chihuahua. We do not know about cats or children. I believe he would do well with children, but we cannot verify that information. His former owner was an elderly woman who passed away suddenly and he has been in our home since the day she passed. Its obvious that he misses her, but he has adjusted well.
He needs a fenced yard. We have had an issue with him wanting to run outside to greet us, but he is learning and obeys when we call him to come back inside. He loves to be brushed and will come running when we pick up the brush. He doesn't seem to be a lap dog, but does enjoy attention and belly rubs. He shows very little interest in toys, but likes to be played with. For the most part he is house broken. He will get our attention when he needs to go outside, but will also use a puppy pad when we are not home. There have been a few accidents, but overall he does well.
Lincoln will need regular grooming and has an appointment this week with the groomer.
