Meet Edith, a 12-year-old female Yorkshire Terrier weighing just 4 lbs. This small, altered senior has a sweet disposition and is house trained, making her the perfect lap companion. Residing in Frisco, TX, she is vaccinated and ready for a peaceful home without children under 16.

About Edith

Edith just got a fresh groom and is looking for her forever home. Described as the sweetest little girl by her foster mom, she loves to be close to her person, often curling up in your lap or sitting beside you. Edith is best suited for a home where someone is around most of the day since she enjoys company. She can thrive as an only dog or with other calm dogs, as long as they share her peaceful energy. At 12 years old and 4 pounds, she requires a gentle environment, so any larger dogs must be accustomed to tiny companions. Although she doesn’t signal when she needs to go outside, Edith does well with her potty routine, having no accidents if taken out after naps. Despite having no teeth, mealtime isn’t a hassle. Her foster mom provides minced Small Breed Freshpet, and she digs in like a champ! Edith has shown some food aggression, so she is kenneled at mealtime but enjoys treats alongside other dogs without issue. She takes her daily eye drop medication easily, so her adopter should be comfortable with that routine. Because of her tiny size, homes with children under 16 are not suitable for her. If you think Edith would fit perfectly into your life, please submit an adoption application. She is fostered through Rescue Row, committed to finding loving homes for dogs in need.
