Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Dachshund / Mixed

Sister is a very special little girl.  She is a yorkie/dachshund mix with lots of personality.  Very sweet, mellow, but boy, give her a go at those squirrels in the backyard and game on!  As you can see from the pictures she is on high-alert, just looking for those critters.  Also, she has no qualms about getting into bushes and scouting out the wildlife, hence the dirty face!  

Unfortunately, all has not been well for Sissy.  Her human died and no one in the family volunteered to keep her so she ended up at a shelter.  We see this time and time again.  She has been grieving for the past few week but she is a spunky girl and that spirit is starting to show.  She needs a quiet home to call her own again, preferably with a retired person who has lots of love to give.  

Sissy is about 7 years old, 8 lbs., housetrained and knows how to use a doggy door.  She gets along with other dogs her size but is fearful of dogs larger than herself.  Cats probably ok but she hasn't been cat tested. She is fine with kids but would prefer a home without.  Her adoption fee of $150 includes all medical.
