About Angel

Angel is a 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier in League City, TX. She came into rescue in rough shape but has started to blossom in her foster home. Angel's most pressing issue is severe dry eye (KCS), and even though her eyes can look clearer after cleaning, she's likely blind. She has had infections in her ears, hair loss, and multiple scabs—mostly due to past flea issues—but ongoing veterinary care is helping her start to heal. There is a fatty mass in her inguinal area which will be addressed when she's spayed. Angel's anemia is also under evaluation and likely linked to her struggle with parasites in the past. Despite it all, she keeps a gentle and sweet spirit, slowly showing more of her personality each day. She gets along with both dogs and cats and appreciates calm companionship as she continues her recovery. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
