In the shelter’s words

Meet Yay — A Happy, Playful Guy Who Loves to Be Loved! If you’re looking for a dog who is always ready to make you smile, Yay is your guy! This handsome boy is full of playful energy, affection, and pure happiness. He came to a no-kill shelter after his family could no longer afford to care for their animals. Through no fault of his own, Yay found himself looking for a new home—and he’s ready to find the family who will love him forever.Yay is a fun-loving, affectionate boy who absolutely loves to play. Toss him a ball and he’ll happily chase it, bring it right back, and wait for you to do it again! He knows basic obedience commands, too, so he’s not just playful—he’s a smart boy who wants to please.Yay is good with other dogs and good with children, making him a wonderful candidate for an active family. We haven't had a chance to see how he feels about cats yet, so his compatibility with feline friends is unknown. He is 3 years old and weighs around 41 pounds. Most of all, Yay just wants love, attention, and a person of his own. He seems to wake up every day ready to enjoy life, and his happy spirit is contagious. He’s the kind of dog who makes you think, “Yay!” every time you see him. If you're looking for a joyful, affectionate, playful companion who will happily play ball with you and then soak up all the love you can give, Yay may be the perfect match! Adoption fee includes: first 2 DAPP, bordetella, deworming, flea preventative, sterilized, heartworm test, microchip Adoption fee: $375.00
