Keep reading to learn why Mr. Tick could be your perfect match.
Why Mr. Tick Deserves a Loving Home
Mr. Tick’s story is one of resilience. Found in another town with 120 ticks on him, he was on a put-to-sleep list before a kind family saved him. Despite his rough start, this little Yorkie has a big heart and a lot of love to give. However, his current home has larger dogs that make him anxious, leaving him too scared to go outside for bathroom breaks. Mr. Tick needs a new environment where he can feel safe, relaxed, and ready to thrive.
What Makes Mr. Tick Special?
Mr. Tick’s endearing quirks and loving nature set him apart. Here’s what you need to know about this adorable Yorkie:
  • Loyal Companion: Mr. Tick loves to shadow his favorite person, staying close and offering constant companionship.
  • Friendly and Affectionate: He’s super friendly, lovable, and cute, making him a joy to have around.
  • Unique Habits: He barks while eating and prefers to dine alone, adding a touch of personality to his routine.
  • Great with Kids: Mr. Tick is good with children, making him a potential fit for families.

Mr. Tick’s Ideal Home
To help Mr. Tick flourish, he needs a specific type of home that suits his needs and personality. Here’s what he’s looking for:
  • No Large Dogs or Puppies: Mr. Tick is intimidated by big dogs and annoyed by playful puppies. He’d do best as the only dog or with other small Yorkies his size.
  • Cat-Friendly with Boundaries: He doesn’t chase cats but prefers they respect his personal space.
  • Secure Environment: As an escape artist, Mr. Tick needs a home with a secure fence to keep him safe.
  • Calm During Storms: He gets anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks, so a comforting owner is a must.
  • Patient with Grooming: He dislikes nail trims and may try to bite or pull away, so gentle handling is key.
Health and Care Considerations
Mr. Tick is in good health for his age, though he’s had a few teeth removed. His new owner should be prepared for:
  • Special Attention: He craves love and reassurance, especially during stressful situations like storms.
  • Grooming Challenges: Nail trims require patience, as he’s not a fan.
  • Housetraining Support: His fear of larger dogs has made him hesitant to go outside for bathroom breaks, but with a calm environment, he can regain confidence.
