About Tempie

Tempie is a charming 8-10 year old, 13-pound Yorkshire Terrier mix, resembling a tiny stuffed animal come to life. Found hiding under a car, she’s shown a remarkable resilience despite her rough start. She's clearly had a home and prefers an indoor lifestyle, where she enjoys following her person around and monitoring all household activities from her cozy blanket nest. Short walks and long stretches of couch time are her ideal day. Though initially timid, Tempie bonds deeply with her humans and makes a devoted companion. She thrives in calm environments, ideally with someone around often. While she does well with other dogs, she mostly tolerates them and is currently living with cats, whom she chases playfully. Older, respectful kids would likely be suited for her gentle nature. Tempie's house training is quite good, but due to her size and age, she prefers an attentive owner to handle her subtle cues. She enjoys sleeping in a dog bed but dreams of curling up in a human bed whenever possible. If you seek a low-maintenance companion whose favorite pastimes include cuddling and quietly existing, Tempie would love to meet you. Adoption fee is $695.
