Why Loopey Needs a New Family
Loopey is a vibrant 7-year-old Yorkshire Terrier who thrives on love and attention. His current family decided to find him a new home after introducing a new puppy, which triggered a jealous reaction. While he’s perfectly fine with the other dogs already in the household, the tiny puppy has caused tension, leading Loopey to become protective and attempt to bite the newcomer. He’d do best in a home where he can avoid such rivalry.

Loopey’s Standout Traits
Here’s what makes Loopey a special candidate for adoption:
  • Craves Attention: Loopey loves being the focus of affection, making him a great companion for attentive owners.
  • Active and Playful: He enjoys long walks and garden playtime, where he keeps himself busy running and exploring.
  • People-Oriented: He’s friendly with adults and older children (primary school age or older), though younger kids might be too much for him.
  • Natural Watchdog: Loopey barks to alert you of visitors at the gate but quiets down instantly if you pick up a newspaper, which he fears.
  • Dog-Friendly (Mostly): He gets along with the other dogs in his home and those his size or larger, but the new small puppy has sparked his jealousy.

Would Loopey Thrive in Your Home?
Loopey would suit a family that can offer him a stable environment, ideally without very small or new puppies that might trigger his protective instincts. He’s proven he can coexist happily with other dogs in his current home, showing his issue is specific to the recent addition. His loyalty shines through, especially toward the husband in his household, and he takes his role as a yard guardian seriously.
Helping Loopey Settle In
To ensure Loopey adjusts well to his new home, keep these tips in mind:
  • Offer a Calm Start: Give him space to get comfortable, with garden access for playtime.
  • Use His Quirks: His newspaper fear is an easy way to manage his barking when necessary.
  • Mind the Dog Mix: He’s fine with established dogs his size or bigger, but avoid introducing tiny puppies.
