My name is Skelly and I'm 2-3 yr old, male Yorkie Mix, weighing 8.5 lbs
I was scheduled for euthanization due to deformity in both back legs making it very hard for me to walk.  Needy Paws Rescue saved me and gave me the surgery I needed.
 
I am now ready for adoption and I am REALLY READY!  My foster mom said to tell you:
  • Skelly is housebroken with a few accidents but is doing much better
  • He is an extremely happy bouncy dog!  Loves being alive!
  • NO APARTMENTS / NO CONDOS --- He is a barker but it's because he is happy!  He barks to eat, go outside, come inside, walk around the room, look for items on other side of fence, etc etc.
  • He would like a yard to explore but would do ok on a leash as long as you know he wants to explore.
  • He can do most steps; other steps he seems afraid and cautious. 
  • He gets along with other dogs his size, but not sure about cats.
  • Would love to sleep in bed with you but sleeps in dog bed next to foster's bed at night right now.
  • He is fast now that his back legs can make him run like the wind!
  • AND super fast when he finds a Kleenex to run away with!
  • Skelly wants to always be with his family and will follow you wherever you go.
