About Possum

Meet Possum, a 2-year-old Yorkshire Terrier in Bryan, TX, weighing in at just 11 lbs. Possum has a huge personality for such a little guy.

Possum thrives around people, dogs, and even cats—he gets along with absolutely everyone he meets. He’s still learning some basics: house training and kennel training are not mastered yet, but Possum makes up for it with food motivation and a willingness to learn.

Possum loves attention and needs someone willing to help him shine, one treat and belly rub at a time. Possum’s sun sign is Aries, which might explain his extra bold and lively nature!
