About Reeses

Reeses is a scruffy little Yorkie/Brussels Griffon mix with wiry fur and plenty of personality. She comes with a rough start—her former owner left her alone regularly, and eventually abandoned her completely. Not surprisingly, Reeses started out frightened and defensive, but after a few days she lets down her guard and turns all that worry into pure affection. She is deeply loyal, and once she trusts you, she’ll stick to you like glue. Escape artist comes with the territory—if there’s a way out of a pen or over a gate, she’ll find it, just to be near her person. She isn’t shy about amusing herself, either: you’ll catch her tossing toys, zooming around the house, and showing off her impressive collection of teeth in a big, floppy grin. Reeses needs a patient, adults-only home that can handle her wild antics and her need for security. She’s got a nutty, bright spirit and thrives with people who appreciate her quirks and cleverness. She does not get along with children. Ready for an offbeat, fiercely devoted companion who practically melts into your lap? Reeses might be your missing piece. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
