Yorkshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Richmond, Kentucky

This is Sammy! Sam is an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier with a gentle soul who is looking for a new start. Much of the world is still new and a little scary to him--but each day, he's slowly starting to decompress and show glimpses of the sweet boy underneath.
Weighing just 6Ibs, Sammy may be tiny, but what he lacks in size; he makes up for with heart. He is still nervous and shy meaning he will need a home that understands that trust takes time. Sammy has the potential to become a deeply devoted companion. Doqs like him don't just bond... they attach with their whole heart. He would love to have that chance!
