ZICO Yorkshire Terrier Minesing, ON

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.ZICO was surrendered to the rescue through no fault of his own and searching for his forever family. He's neutered, vaccinated including his rabies shot, microchipped and been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. Don't let his small size fool you as he loves to be active and be out and about on walks in the neighbourhood and hikes the on the trails. Although he's a busy guy he also likes to snuggle up and be a lap pup but this will only happen if he's been tired out from his long walk or an active day.
ZICO is crate trained and housetrained. He loves to go on walks and walks well with his harness on. He hasn't been socialized with other animals at all and will bark and carry on when he sees other dogs, he doesn't want to go after them but is basically telling them to stay away from him. He is fostered with another dog and also a cat but he still barks at them so we're recommending he not be in a home with either unless his adopter is prepared to have a trainer work with him to teach him they mean him no harm but rather just want to say hi.
ZICO's ideal home is one that is active but quiet. He needs his long walks and hikes to burn off his Yorkie energy and he wants to be part of a family that will take him everywhere with them including family adventures. He's just a young guy and he knows there's lots he wants to do and see still. He has lots of typical Yorkie behaviour so his new owner does need to be breed experienced. He's a destructor of toys and only the toughest, hardiest ones survive his company such as Kong toys and very sturdy plastic ones including Nyla bones. Due to him not being in a home with children or ever having met any we are recommending they be 12 years of age and up. He's also best suited to a home with a fenced yard so he can run around and play safely outside.
If ZICO sounds like he'll fit in with your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.
