Adopt Bakkies: Male Yorkshire Terrier
Adopt Bakkies – Loyal and Alert Male Yorkshire Terrier
Bakkies is a 5-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier looking for a stable, loving home before his family emigrates in December 2025. He is a devoted companion who enjoys staying close to his people in his own quiet way. While he is not a cuddler and prefers not to be picked up, he loves tummy rubs, resting by your feet, and having a calm, predictable routine. His loyalty shows in the way he keeps watch at the front door and relaxes only once his family is safely home.
This well-mannered little dog is fully housetrained, sleeps indoors, and thrives in a peaceful environment where his boundaries are respected. Bakkies will suit adopters who appreciate a gentle, independent Yorkshire Terrier with a steady, reassuring presence.
