I'm in love with Yorkies but if you a have a small breed dog, they are more than welcome in my place!!! Dogs are family, same as babies. I don't understand why Vancouver is a pet friendly city; dogs are not allowed wherever you go!! In my country we can go to the restaurant/coffee shop/beaches with our well behaved dogs!!! we need to change that!!! but before the change, i can help you to take care of your dog while you are away or at work! I have a Yorkie at home, she is almost 3 years old, and she will love to have some friends to play with her or to sleep together on the couch watching Netflix with me. She loves dogs that have the same size as her and always in to make new friends. I don't have a yard, but i have an enclosed patio. I'm also an homeowner so no stress about the owner, it's me! I live in the main floor, so no trouble with falling out of the balcony neither. I can also take care of birds, rabbits, turtles and fish, and sorry in advance but no cats in my place.
