About Chewbacca

Meet Chewbacca, affectionately called Chewie! This 6-month-old, 11 lb Yorkshire Terrier is gentle and soulful, seeking a quiet and loving home where he can thrive at his own pace. The world can be a bit overwhelming for him right now, and he's quite timid around new people and experiences. Chewie needs an adopter with a big heart and plenty of patience. In his foster home, he’s making great strides every day in building his confidence—he’s practicing his leash skills, mastering potty training, and getting used to car rides. Once Chewie settles in, his delightful personality starts to shine through. He's a playful spirit, enjoying his toys and getting along wonderfully with both dogs and cats in his environment. While he may not be the traditional cuddler just yet, he’s a loyal little shadow who loves being close to his people. If you’re lucky, he might even curl up on your pillow come bedtime. The adoption fee is $175, which includes his neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. Ready to make Chewie a part of your family? Submit an application today!
