Adopt The Perfect Yorkie Companion: Samuel
🐶 Meet Samuel – The Perfect Family Companion
If you are searching for a dog with a heart of pure gold who will fit right into your family, look no further than Samuel. This 7-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier is a very affectionate and timid little boy who loves nothing more than cuddles and attention. At 3.5kg, he is the perfect size for a lap dog. Incredibly, Samuel gets along with everyone—other dogs, cats, and children!
This sweet boy does have a few special needs that require a gentle and mindful owner. He has a floating rib (read the footnote below), which means he just needs to be picked up correctly. He also needs his face cleaned daily to prevent tear stains and skin irritation. These simple acts of care are a small price to pay for the immense love and affection this wonderful dog has to offer.

Summary
Name: Samuel
Age: 7 years
Gender: Male
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Yes
Children: Yes
Special Note: Has a floating rib and must be handled with care. Needs daily face cleaning. Timid.
🩺 Note: Some Yorkies may have a slightly more visible “floating rib,” which is completely normal. The last pair of ribs (rib 13) doesn’t attach to the breastbone, so it can sometimes feel or look a bit more prominent. This is simply part of normal anatomy and doesn’t affect the dog’s health or comfort.
