About Dominic

Meet Dominic, a young, charming Yorkshire Terrier ready for a forever home. He’s just one year old and weighs 8.5 pounds with a medium coat that’s perfect for cuddling. Dominic is full of energy, friendly, and loves to play with his toys—he's always up for a little fun. He enjoys long walks and sunny days, soaking in all the sights and smells. Dominic gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion for playtime. However, he does not coexist well with cats due to his high prey drive, so a feline-free home is a must. This adoption is for Dominic and his buddy Giada, so be ready to welcome two adorable Yorkies into your life! Note that we are not doing long-distance adoptions at this time; you must be within a two-hour drive of Staten Island, NY. Ready to meet him?
