Lacey is available for adoption. Lacey is approximately 10 years old and weighs 10 pounds. Lacey is the name she was given upon rescue, so she is not yet responding to it. She simply looks at me as if she is asking, "who are you calling?" About a week ago, she drove in from out of state, where she was rescued from a shelter. She did so well on the drive! She actually always does well in the car. She stays comfortably in her car seat and cuddles with her teddy bear and blanket. She has not cared for toys, but she is also probably just trying to adjust to so many other things already. So whether she is a fan of toys is still to be determined. For now, she is getting acquainted with her foster family. Since arriving home, she has quickly bonded and follows everyone around. Our house has three floors, and she has no problem going up and down. Most days, if not always, she beats me up the stairs. She is just a sweetheart and stays as quiet as a mouse. She only whimpers when someone leaves the house or gets dropped off at school or work. She likes to be held or remain close by you.
She appears to have some tartar buildup and is missing some teeth. That may be impacting her eating habits, but we are taking our time. She eats slowly and only wants to eat if we stay close to her. So I tend to sit next to her.
We are working on the potty training. The accidents are decreasing. She does very well on her walks. We walk 4 times a day and average about 2 miles total. She doesn't pull or pay much attention to other dogs. Sometimes she stares, and other times she simply ignores.
For her first home bath, Lacey did not make one sound. She allowed me to bathe her and dry her. Then she rolled around on the carpet for the messy style look. She actually likes to look in the mirror. She should be seeing a groomer in about two weeks for a spa day to get her professional wash, hair cut, and mani/pedi. I am curious to see how she reacts to the mirror after that visit.
Though she did see a vet through the shelter, Lacey is scheduled to see a vet in mid-March for a check-up and see what we need to learn about her.

Young Yorkies will have a higher adoption donation since they are the most highly sought after and they help to cover the costs of the older dogs who have a harder time finding a loving home. It is sad but true that people overwhelming demand very young dogs when they would be infinitely happier with a mellow adult.
