Yorkshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

LAYLA

Yorkshire Terrier
🇺🇸
Richmond, Virginia
May 31st
female, small, senior

DESCRIPTION

Layla is an 11 year old Silky Terrier/Yorkie.

Layla was originally surrendered in February 2025 because the only owner she had ever known had a stroke and was not physically able to care for her anymore.

Layla was then adopted on her 10th birthday, 3/1/25.

She was returned to our rescue in May 2026 because she was having accidents in the house, reportedly due to anxiety.

Once she arrived, her foster noticed she was drinking a significant amount of water and subsequently urinating a lot.

Layla's blood work showed that she is in early kidney failure. She will start kidney care food and we will recheck her kidney values in 6-8 weeks.

Ideally, her values will decrease or remain stable, at which point she will just remain on the kidney care diet. If her values have increased, she will begin weekly fluids to flush her system.

If her values have increased, the vet said she has on average 6-12 months. Unfortunately, we won't know the prognosis until the next blood work is done.

Considering Layla has already lost two owners, we would love to find someone willing to commit to her and take on her medical care for however long she has left. Layla's adoption fee is waived due to the uncertainty of her prognosis.

Layla isn't a fan of other animals, but would likely be fine with other pets in the home if they didn't bother her. She LOVES people and attention.

Please email dancersbridgedogrescue@gmail.com if you are interested in giving Layla the forever home she deserves. 🥰
