Stanley - Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Stanley An 8-year-old, 10-pound Yorkie mix who was found wandering the streets of Queens and scooped up by a kind family. When no one came looking for him, he joined the Waggytail family, and we're so glad he did.

He's the perfect balance of independent and velcro dog. When you're around, he simply wants to be wherever you are, whether that's on your lap, at your feet, or supervising from the couch. Once he settles in, he experiences no separation anxiety and often snoozes the day away until your return.

He loves his walks, is great on leash, and loves exploring the neighborhood. He's very fond of his foster brother, so we know he enjoys dog company. He also lives with a cat and has shown no prey drive, just a healthy dose of curiosity about his feline roommate. While he hasn't been observed around kids, we imagine he'd be just fine with tiny humans.

Stanley has proven to be house-trained during his time in care. Toys haven't quite won him over, but a plush cozy bed, he's more than content. Stanley has a bit of a sensitive tummy, but he's been doing very well with a prescription food adjustment.

Stanley's ideal home is a cozy one, where he can be a constant companion, with someone who's around a lot and doesn't mind a shadow! Bonus points if you appreciate a dog who looks good in a hoodie.

Stanley has had a full medical work-up, including bloodwork and additional diagnostics, and he's up to date on vaccinations. Stanley is scheduled for a neuter and dental next week, but he's ready for his forever home.
