Sway - Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Raleigh, North Carolina

Hi, I'm Sway! My dad can't take care of me any longer, so my next door neighbors who I've known since I was a puppy have promised to help me find my perfect new family!

Do not let my age or diminutive size fool you! My favorite activity in the whole wide world is fetch and I will play as long as you keep throwing the ball. One night, my foster parents took turns playing with me and we played for three hours straight! Best night EVER!

I get on well with other dogs my size at home, I'd be happy living with a new pup friend, or being a solo dog.

I do like to sing the song of my people, so my perfect home would not be an apartment with thin walls! I like to bark when I want you to throw the ball or when I meet other dogs or people on walks.

I am very good in my crate at night- I settle down immediately and sleep through the night.

I'm a very clever boy and am learning very quickly, my perfect family would give me structure and discipline. I need a lot of stimulation like fetch, long walks, and training- when my body and brain stay busy, I'm a very well behaved boy but when I'm bored I get noisy!

My potty training isn't quite perfect yet. I like to make sure to mark my territory so everyone knows I was here. My foster family has me wearing belly bands when I'm not on a walk or in my crate at night.
