From Yorkie Rescue Houston

NO SENIORS, NO TODDLERS Teddy — 4 Pounds of Puppy, Velcro Energy & a Whole Lot of Catching Up to Do Meet Teddy, an approximately 8–9-month-old Yorkshire Terrier who weighs a whopping 4.3–4.4 pounds. Yes. Four pounds. He is basically a very small dog with a very large need for somebody to actually have time for him. Teddy came to Yorkie Rescue Houston after his owner moved to the city and experienced changes in work and lifestyle. She recognized that Teddy was spending most of his days confined to a kennel and, in her own words, wasn't getting the attention and love he deserved. So Teddy's story isn't about a “bad dog.” It's about a puppy whose circumstances stopped working. And now he gets a reset. Teddy is still VERY much a puppy Teddy's surrender paperwork lists him at nine months old; his veterinary records place him at just over eight months. Either way, this is a baby dog, not a finished product. His former owner reported that he is not housebroken, so his adopter needs to be prepared to do the actual work of raising a puppy: structure, supervision, consistency, potty training and patience. He has been sleeping in a kennel, and unfortunately he was also spending much of his…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
