Adopt Gentle Senior Yorkie with Special Needs: Voetjie (Liyah)
🐶 Meet Voetjie (Liyah) – A Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold
Looking for a calm and loving companion to complete your family? Meet Voetjie, who also goes by Liyah! This handsome 9-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier is a gentle giant with a loving soul. Though larger for a Yorkie, he has a sweet, easy-going nature that makes him a wonderful presence in a home.
Voetjie has a couple of special quirks that need a mindful owner. He has a significant overbite, which gives him a unique smile but thankfully doesn't affect his eating. However, he does gain weight easily, so his diet will need to be carefully monitored to keep him healthy and happy. He gets along well with other dogs and is looking for a patient family to help him with his training. He is a vocal boy, so a house with a yard would be his perfect palace!
