About Michi

Michi is a 4-year-old female Yorkie weighing just 9 lbs. Her current owners are seeking a new home for her, as she has become protective of their newborn daughter. They describe her as anxious, barking when the baby is handled, and believe she would thrive better in a home without small children. Despite this, Michi has a delightful personality. She is loyal, playful, and enjoys being around other small dogs, especially fellow Yorkies. While she might be shy and submissive around larger dogs, she has never displayed aggression during play. Michi loves her walks, playing fetch, and also enjoys snuggling on the couch with her family. She is food motivated and open to training, and she's both house and crate trained, signaling when she needs to go outside. While she’s not an escape artist, she loves to chase small animals if not leashed. If you think Michi would be a good fit for your family, please submit an application today!
