Meet Vera

Vera is a 7-year-old, 7-pound Yorkie Poodle mix. Paws Across Pittsburgh lists Vera as female "Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Poodle (unknown type)" in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She is listed as small in size.

The rescue is not sure how Vera would do with cats or small children, so that is untested. She likes to wander and may pull a little on the leash when something catches her attention. She is very easy to redirect, and she also does well on a leash.

Vera is still working on her potty training, and she is already making good progress. She uses pee pads indoors and is learning that outside is the place to go, too. She is a smart little girl who is catching on with consistency and patience. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations.

Her foster says she is a very sweet, easy dog who loves people. She is reported to get along great with other dogs, and so far she has been nothing but friendly with the people and dogs she has met, according to the rescue. She is just happy to be around everyone and is a little bundle of joy. Vera is settling into her foster home and doing great.

At just 7 pounds, Vera is the perfect little sidekick. Whether she is following you around the house, curling up beside you, or making new friends, she is simply happy to be part of the moment.
