About Demi

Meet Demi! Demi is a sweet senior Yorkshire Terrier looking for a loving home. Rescued from a local shelter, she was in rough shape, but now she’s on a path to recovery. We estimate her to be around 10 years old. At just 12 lbs, Demi is significantly overweight for her small frame but is currently on a weight loss journey to help her feel more comfortable and active. Despite her past, Demi has a radiant spirit. She enjoys walks, loves riding in the car, and basking in the sunshine. Those moments when she curls up on a warm lap for cuddles truly make her happy. Demi gets along well with everyone—dogs, cats, and children alike. This gentle girl adores being included in whatever you do and doesn’t need much to smile, just a bit of love and the comfort she deserves. Could you be the one to give Demi the happy ending she’s been longing for? Start your journey together! Apply now.
