If you were to look lap dog up in the dictionary you should see a picture of this sweet girl. Toupie is a Silky Terrier that will turn 10 years old November .


She is a gorgeous girl that wants to please and she is happiest when she is cuddling with her owner. She tolerates other dogs but does not like cats or children so she would be best suited in a home that she is the only pet or a home that has a smaller non aggressive dog. She does great when she is groomed which is required regularly and is also kennel trained.


She is currently not house trained but her foster mom is working with her on that and with consistency and frequent trips outside she is quickly learning. She can be quite stubborn when the weather isn't the best but with anything she will learn in time.


Most of her life Toupie has been an indoor dog so she can be a bit nervous getting used to new sounds and experiences. She does not like loud noises or fast movements. For example if someone is riding a bike past her she will jump, bark & try to run after. She does good on walks but if she is on a yard lead or a walking leash and she reaches the end she will try to pull herself out of her collar or harness to keep going so she will need to be monitored closely at all times.


She enjoys meeting new people but she is protective of her owner. If she is on your lap and a person or pet comes up to you she will bark & nip which is why she won't go to a home with small children. With firm but gentle instruction she may break this habit and excel at many things life has to show her. She is a precious girl looking for her new furever home with someone that has experience dealing with "small dog syndrome".


Toupie is spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines. She will be micro-chipped and have her rabies vaccine before being adopted.
