Meet Ghost

Meet Ghost, an adorable 11-year-old Yorkie weighing about 6 pounds. This tiny guy may be a senior, but don’t let his age fool you. Ghost is very active and loves his short walks, car rides, and, most of all, being with his person. He adjusts quickly to new environments and made himself right at home with his foster family, even sleeping with them his very first night. Ghost is an affectionate little shadow who gets attached to his person quickly and loves to follow them from room to room. When it’s time to snuggle, he is happiest curled up on his person’s chest with his head resting on their shoulder. He also loves sleeping with his people at night. One of his cutest habits is spinning in circles while barking when he wants to go outside or be picked up! Ghost is house-trained and will bark when he needs to go outside, but he needs frequent potty breaks. He can also be quite vocal when he wants something, even when his people are home. Because of his vocal nature and suspected separation anxiety, Ghost needs a home where someone is around most of the time. He would not be a good fit for a home with shared walls, such as an apartment or townhome, and his foster recommends a single-family home. Ghost gets along well with small dogs, especially those around 15 pounds or less. He appears nervous around larger dogs, so a home with small, dog-friendly canine companions would be the best fit. His history with cats is unknown, and he has not been around children in his foster home. Because of his very small size, older, respectful children age 13 and up would be recommended. Ghost is not interested in toys and has only a few teeth, so he prefers soft, chewy treats over hard ones. He enjoys two short walks each day and would love a family who can include him in their adventures, especially car rides. His curious nature and tendency to trot or run mean he must be kept on a leash whenever he is outside unless he is in a securely fenced area. Ghost is a very sweet, affectionate little guy with a big personality. He is looking for a patient, attentive family who will appreciate his active nature, frequent potty needs, vocal personality, and desire to be close to his people. In return, Ghost will happily be your devoted little shadow and professional snuggle buddy.
