About Cujo

Cujo is a senior boy who has endured a difficult past, but is now learning to appreciate love and respect in his foster home. He is fully potty-trained and, once he trusts you, will show immense affection. However, Cujo is a fear biter and may snap if he feels forced into situations he dislikes, such as being moved unexpectedly. He needs an understanding and patient adopter who can respect his boundaries and help him continue to build confidence.

As a Yorkshire Terrier, Cujo is known for his long, silky coat, which requires high grooming needs to prevent mats and keep him comfortable. Despite his small size, Yorkies often have a moderate energy level and enjoy daily walks and playtime. They are intelligent and can be quite spirited, often forming strong bonds with their primary caregivers. Cujo's minimal shedding is a plus for those with allergies, but his behavioral needs are paramount.

Cujo's ideal home is with experienced dog handlers who understand fear-based behaviors and can provide a calm, predictable environment. Due to his history and biting tendencies, Cujo absolutely cannot be adopted into a home with children or grandchildren. He thrives on gentle handling and unconditional love, and in return, he promises to be a devoted companion to the right person or couple who can offer him the secure and loving forever home he truly deserves.
