She was found dirty, neglected, and abandoned, with no family coming back for her and no way to understand why she had been left behind. At such a young age, Artex should have been worrying about toys and playtime—not where she would sleep or who would take care of her. Thankfully, she was found and brought to safety. After good meals, proper care, and plenty of attention, Artex finally has the opportunity to enjoy the puppyhood she deserves. Artex is a sweet, curious young girl who is discovering how wonderful life can be when people are kind. She enjoys attention, playtime, exploring her surroundings, and being included in whatever is happening around her. Like any young puppy, she has plenty of energy and curiosity followed by those wonderful puppy naps. As a Yorkshire Terrier, Artex comes from a breed known for packing an enormous personality into a small package. Yorkies are intelligent, affectionate, confident, and deeply devoted to their families. They can be playful and adventurous while still loving nothing more than being close to their favorite people. Artex would thrive in a home that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Positive reinforcement puppy training Patient and consistent house-training Daily age-appropriate exercise and play Interactive toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization Regular grooming and coat care A consistent daily routine A safe indoor home where she's part of the family A lifetime of patience, stability, and commitment Artex has already experienced being left behind once. Her next family should be prepared to make a promise that lasts her entire life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Artex is still a young puppy and has plenty to learn. Her adopter should be prepared for normal puppy behaviors, including chewing, teething, house-training accidents, playful energy, and lots of curiosity. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to start understanding her new routine 3 Months to fully settle in and feel at home Early positive reinforcement training and socialization will help Artex develop into a confident and well-mannered adult. Her new family should expose her gradually and positively to different people, environments, sounds, and appropriate animal companions.
