About Cassie (Yorkshire Terrier) in Spring, TX 77379

Cassie is waiting for you at Yorkie Rescue Houston in Spring, TX 77379. Surrendered by her owner to BARC animal shelter to be killed because they didn't want to seek medical care for her after watching her be hit by a car. We immediately pulled this little girl into rescue and a quick trip to the vet with xrays reveals no broken bones. Some minor soreness and a broken heart was all she was suffering with. They said her name was Casanova. We decided she would never hear that name again. Cassie still suffers from emotional trauma. She feels safe in her crate. She seeks it and desires it. She till tolerate love and attention, but is terrified of someone taking her from her crate. She is in the home of an experienced foster who is helping her overcome her PTSD. She still screams occasionally, but recovers once she realizes she's safe. Foster notes: Cassie is a sweet little lady with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She may be a little shy when meeting new people and will sometimes bark or growl at first, but don't let that fool you. That's simply her way of taking her time to get comfortable. Once you've earned her trust, you'll have a loyal little shadow who wants nothing more than to be near her favorite person. Cassie is the definition of a lap dog. She loves curling up beside you, following you from room to room, or relaxing in her favorite cave-style bed where she feels safe and cozy. She enjoys short walks around the house and yard but isn't overly curious or energetic. She's happiest in a calm, predictable environment. She is about 90% potty trained and has excellent bladder control. She much prefers going outside, but when she's adjusting to a new home, she appreciates having a potty pad available in a spot she chooses. Once she picks her spot, she's very consistent about using it. She does best with a routine and positive encouragement. Cassie is fully crate trained, and her crate is one of her favorite places. She happily relaxes
