Reno

My story

Reno is a sweet yorkie looking for an experienced patient family that speaks 'dog'. Reno is a breeder release from a commercial facility. He hasn't had the benefit a dog his age might have who was born and living in a home. That being said, while he is scared and timid, once he feels safe he is longing to bond with a family. After he has been with us a while he has come around and really wants to Velcro to a person of his own. . He needs family who will help him slowly decompress and adjust in his own time. Reno is a friendly gentle fella. He needs help on learning to potty outside with a scheduled routine. He has been partly getting the hang of pee pads. He needs a fenced in yard for his potty place. He's scared to go outside and doesn't understand leash walking. He can go into a home with another dog, but he isn't really interested in other dogs, he wants to cling to people instead. He will now jump on his person' calf to get their attention and get some love.. He wants to be close. Once he settles in she will follow you room to room to be close . Like all dogs, he will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all dogs, not only to give Reno important learning skills, but because you and your dog will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together. Reno is 1 year 9 months old and fully vetted. He has been neutered, heartworm negative, had a dental, received age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. Subsequent vaccines will be at the expense of his adopter. His adoption fee is $1200..00. He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family. Little dogs can live to be 20+ years old, so Reno wants to be sure his family is all in for better or for worse! IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 12 MONTHS): You must have a flexible work schedule or someone home all day. Puppies need to be let out to potty often. They need socialization, bonding, and training (housetraining and behavioral training). If you work long hours, have a busy social schedule, or are not financially secure, then a puppy is not for you. We adopt only in the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits.
