WE RESCUE YORKIES
AND
OTHER SMALL BREEDS

My name is Rocky and this is my sister Chloe. I have been her big brother her entire life so we must be adopted together. We are very much a bonded pair. We like to play and sleep together and we would simply be lost without each other.  We come from a very loving family home where we are adored and spoiled like a prince and princess. But true to the Yorkie breed, we are not good around little children and babies. Chloe is extremely nervous and frightened by the little tikes. She will run and hide as far away as possible. Me on the other hand, being her big brother, I must protect us (even though I am really scared too), so I can and will be a little nippy if those kiddos get too close. I really don’t mean any harm, but I don’t know how else to protect us. All the running around with those little kid feet makes me very anxious and on guard. So, Chloe and I really need a home with an older family so we can relax and enjoy our naps in laps, soak in the sun while enjoying couch time and give lots and lots of kisses to our “big” people.

We are potty trained outside, but we don’t like the cold so much, so we use pee pads inside when it’s too cold to go out.  We also like to play outside in the backyard. A fence is a must because I am really tiny and I do like to run (and escape) if given the opportunity! Chloe isn’t has adventurous as me, so she doesn’t try any Houdini stunts.

I have Hepatoportal Microvascular Dysplasia (MVD), which is very common in the Yorkshire Terrier breed. The good news is that I am asymptomatic and doing very well. However, I must eat special prescription food available from the Vet (Hills l/d).  For convenience and because we both are free feed during the day, Chloe is also eating this food. No other food or treats or products that can be eating can be given to me if they contain any type of Meat or Organ Meat protein.

The home that adopts Rocky and Chole must have Yorkie experience, especially with dogs under 5 pounds or those with liver issues.  No Small Children.
