About Micah

Micah came in with his brother after a breeder gave them up for being 'too big to sell,' but honestly, he’s just right. He’s a four-month-old Yorkie—a little guy with a long, tricolor coat and a soft, cautious spirit. Of the pair, Micah tends to hang back until things feel safe. He’s still figuring out leash walks, meeting new people, and the whole potty-training routine. What he lacks in boldness, he makes up for in snuggle skills and a growing fondness for toys and belly rubs. He’ll be neutered, fully vaccinated (puppy series, rabies, bordatella), current on preventatives, and microchipped before adoption. Micah gets along with other dogs, cats, and children, though a patient home willing to help him gain confidence will bring out his best side. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
