Tilly

Tilly is a sweet and resilient pup who, despite a difficult start, shows immense potential for affection and companionship. She was rescued from a backyard breeder, enduring harsh outdoor conditions, yet she remains friendly with other dogs and shows a gentle nature towards people. She is still learning the ropes of home life, including potty training and leash manners, but her willingness to connect shines through. Tilly is looking for a patient and understanding adopter who can offer her the loving guidance she needs to blossom.

As a Yorkshire Terrier, Tilly is known for her spirited personality, intelligence, and loyalty. Yorkies are often described as 'big dogs in small packages,' full of energy and curiosity. While they are generally adaptable, they thrive on companionship and can be prone to separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. Tilly's background suggests she will benefit from consistent positive reinforcement and gentle socialization to build her confidence and help her adjust to a comfortable home environment.

The ideal home for Tilly is one that can provide a calm, structured, and loving atmosphere. She would do well with patient individuals or a family who understands the commitment involved in training a rescue dog, especially one learning basic house manners. Tilly is good with other dogs and kids, suggesting she could fit into a multi-pet or family household, provided introductions are managed carefully. Her heartworm positive status means her new family must be prepared for her treatment, ensuring she receives the care needed for a full recovery.
