Adopt Gentle & Affectionate Yorkie: Nemo
🐶 Meet Nemo – A Gentle, Spoilt Little Soul Looking for His Forever Lap
Nemo is a 5-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier who has known nothing but the comfort of a loving indoor home. Described by his owner as a gentle, easygoing and very spoilt little boy, Nemo enjoys nothing more than being close to his people — whether that means curling up on the family bed, snoozing in his own doggy bed, or simply following you from room to room. He is the largest and heaviest of his litter, which means there is simply more of him to love.
Sadly, due to personal circumstances, Nemo's family is urgently looking for a new home where he can continue to be the cherished indoor companion he has always been. He is housetrained when he has regular access to the garden, loves being played with, and has never once tried to run away. He is a friendly, affectionate boy who thrives on human company and would suit a home that welcomes doggies indoors — just as he has always known.
Nemo is good with children, gets along well with small dogs and puppies, and has even lived happily alongside a larger-breed resident dog. He is, however, frightened of cats and loud noises, so a calm, cat-free household would be his ideal. If you are looking for a devoted, gentle companion who will repay your kindness with endless affection, Nemo could be the perfect match for you.
💖 Nemo's Personality and Needs
Age: 5 years old
Temperament: Nemo is a gentle, easygoing and very affectionate boy who loves being close to his family. He is playful when the mood takes him, enjoys being indoors, and is happiest curled up on the bed or in his own doggy bed. He is frightened of loud noises and cats, so a calm, understanding home will help him feel secure.
Good with Dogs: Yes — Nemo gets along well with small dogs and puppies, and has lived happily with a larger-breed resident dog. Compatibility with unfamiliar large dogs has not been established, so a meet-and-greet is recommended.
Good with Cats: No — Nemo is frightened of cats and will run away from them. A cat-free home is essential.
Good with Children: Excellent — Nemo is reported to be excellent with children and would make a wonderful family companion.
Housetraining: Yes — Nemo is housetrained when he has regular access to the garden. He may have an occasional accident if kept indoors overnight without access to toilet facilities, so a home with easy garden access is ideal.
Health/Special Needs: No known health concerns reported by the owner. Nemo is not yet sterilised( Standard SA Yorkie procedures apply). He does not enjoy swimming but can reportedly swim to the pool edge; he has no formal pool-safety training, so a home with a pool should take sensible precautions.
Ideal Home: Nemo is looking for a loving indoor home where he can sleep close to his people, with easy access to a garden for toilet breaks. A calm, cat-free household that welcomes doggies indoors, ideally with another small dog for company, would be perfect. He would thrive with a family who understands that loud noises frighten him and who can offer him patience, affection and plenty of playtime.
