Tina is a female baby Yorkie mix located in Elk Grove Village, IL. Although her exact weight and age in years are not known, she is part of the small breed classification.

About Tina

Meet Tina, an adorable Yorkie mix pup who is just starting her journey in the world. While her mom is a petite 11-pound Yorkie, her lineage is a bit of a mystery, which makes her future size an exciting guess — likely over 10 pounds. Right now, she and her siblings are like little black and tan mops, full of puppy energy and charm. Keep in mind, a 2-month-old puppy is akin to a 9-month-old human baby, so be prepared for that adventure. Tina would thrive in a home with a small dog playmate and is especially fond of her 13-pound foster sibling. However, she's not ready for young children or large dogs as they can frighten her. Should you be ready to make her a part of your life, completing an adoption application is the first step. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
