About Webster

Webster is a quirky, bright, small Yorkshire Terrier ready for a household that can match his energy. Originally unsocialized and wary, he’s grown into a loving dog who craves affection and has discovered the joys of playing, cuddling, and giving kisses. He’s especially sharp—already mastering sit and shake—and would likely thrive with agility or other mentally challenging activities. Webster needs a family that’s active, enjoys walks or hikes, and won’t mind a dog who isn’t content to just sit and watch TV with you. He gets along well with other playful dogs but will bother senior or sedentary pups. A belly band is still part of his house training journey, and yes, if the TV is on, expect commentary! Crates are a nonstarter—Webster has a tough history with them and will panic or become destructive if confined this way, but he settles fine with a gate or left loose in the house. Keep an eye on open doors and unattended yards, because he’s a curious escape artist if bored. He adores being brushed, loves a good game of fetch with squeaky balls, and has learned to appreciate lap time. If you want a companion that keeps you active, laughing, and learning, Webster fits the bill. Just know he comes with spirit and a need for patience—he’s looking for a committed, energetic adopter who enjoys a challenge and doesn’t mind a bit of harmless chaos. What are you waiting for?
