About Farrah

Farrah is a sweet 13-year-old, 5-pound Yorkshire Terrier whose world turned upside down after losing her previous owner. She has settled well into her foster home and gets along beautifully with every dog in the house—even those many times her size. Often she'll snooze peacefully on her bed, though she likes to curl up next to a foster sibling just as much. Despite her tiny stature, Farrah handles a few stairs without fuss, especially when there's food involved. She needs a calm, gentle environment—one without small children—where her size is fully respected. Her ideal home would offer her soft places to rest and the safe, loving attention she became accustomed to as a cherished companion. She’s truly a special little dog ready for a peaceful retirement surrounded by affection. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
