Several toy Yorkshire terriers will be available for adoption at the Sunshine Coast SPCA, following a cruelty investigation and seizure in early April. Kept in small crates and cages, the 11 tiny dogs will need loving homes and a lot of love and patience, says BC SPCA Sunshine Coast Branch manager Cindy Krapiec.
“When they came into our care, some had never walked outside before, so we have to be careful of their tender little paws,” she says. “Because of their background, they’re all quite fearful and none of them are house-trained, so we’re requiring interested potential adopters to attend one of two information sessions we’re holding this weekend.”
Ranging in age from 16 weeks to seven years, the terriers will need specific care, such as strict attention to dental health, and potential guardians will need to be aware of their varied needs, Krapiec notes.
