Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie
Black with Tan, Yellow or Fawn
Each organization sets the adoption fee for their animals. Adoption fees help cover the cost of this animal’s care as well as allowing the organization to help more animals.
She has made great progress in a calm, structured foster home where she was given time to decompress and build trust slowly. With her trusted person, she allows handling, being picked up, leashing, and full-body pets—but that trust must be earned.
A fenced yard is recommended while she continues working on leash skills, and she will thrive with someone who appreciates a little sass mixed with a whole lot of sweetness.
If you’re looking for a tiny queen with charm, attitude, and endless snuggles—and you’re willing to respect her boundaries—Ariel is ready to rule your heart.
Ariel’s Alluring Highlights:
• 4-year-old, 10 lb Yorkie mix with full-time diva energy • Sweet, loving, and snuggly — on her terms • Shy at first; bonds deeply with her chosen people • Medium energy; playful but not hyper • Good with other dogs, but prefers to be the center of attention • No kids — adult-only home required • Cats unknown; may tolerate respectful ones • Potty trained and crate trained • Needs a fenced yard while continuing leash training • Can be possessive of food, space, and people • Has a history of using her teeth when boundaries are not respected • Requires a dog-savvy, patient adopter committed to structure and management • Thrives with routine, decompression time, and slow introduction
No-Nonsense Disclosure
Ariel has a history of resource guarding and will bite if her boundaries are pushed. She has guarded food, space, and her person, and has escalated beyond growling when not respected. She is not a fit for homes with children or inexperienced owners. She requires an adult-only, dog-savvy home willing to manage her behavior and continue training. Full transparency is essential to ensure the right match—she will not do well in a home that cannot respect and work with these behaviors.
