Walker - Yorkshire Terrier and Silky Terrier Dog for Adoption in Shiloh, Illinois

Meet Walker: Big Personality, Tiny Package!

If youre looking for a little dog who is ready to be your best buddy, sidekick, lap dog, and adventure partner, meet Walker!

Walker is a 5-year-old Yorkie weighing about 10 pounds, but dont let his tiny size fool you—this little guy has a BIG personality! He absolutely loves being with his person and wants to be part of whatever youre doing. Going for a car ride? Hes in. Heading out for an adventure? Count him in. Staying home and snuggling on the couch? That works for him, too!

Walker is naturally curious, playful, and still has plenty of that fun little Yorkie spunk. He enjoys hanging out with other dogs and has been absolutely fabulous since coming into rescue. Hes the kind of dog who would thrive with someone who wants a true companion—whether that means being your little lap dog or tagging along wherever life takes you.

Cats are a definite no-go for Walker. He may only be 10 pounds and certainly isnt a threat to a cat, but Walker is a terrier through and through and has absolutely no problem giving chase! His ideal home will be cat-free.

Walker came to us after his owner failed to claim him and ultimately did not want him back after he was found running through an apartment complex. Their loss is definitely someone elses gain, because this little guy has shown us just how wonderful he can be.
If youve been looking for a small dog with a huge personality, lots of love to give, and a little bit of terrier sass, Walker might be your guy!
Walker is ready to find his forever person—and hes ready for his next adventure!

All of our dogs come with a collar, leash, toy, two food/water bowls, and a copy of all medical and microchip information. Adoption fees are tax deductible.

To meet Walker, email onceuponaprayerrescue@gmail.com with the subject line Walker for an automatic reply with our prescreening questions. Once completed, we can set up a meet-and-greet! Walkers adoption fee is 600.
