Miss Yaya is more than a beautiful face – she also has a lot to offer the right forever family!
A breeder surrender, Yaya is one of the most affectionate dogs you could ever want to meet. And with those adorable wrinkles and pouty lips, how could anyone not want to smother her in affection and attention all day?!
She just loves being around “her” humans, including older children, as long as they’re willing to dole out the pets! While she’ll take a daily walk, she far prefers to lay her head on her humans’ laps and snooze the day away. If there isn’t a lap on which to lay, she will (eventually) be satisfied to take a nap on her own personal dog bed.
Yaya knows that a lady never talks about her weight, but she just has to brag for a minute – she has lost well over 10 pounds since arriving at her foster home! She will need to remain on strict portion control (despite her protests!) with limited treats in order to maintain the needed weight loss for her long-term health.
Her new family must also be committed to taking care of a few special needs. Yaya has dry eye in one eye. In fact, her other eye developed a corneal ulcer that resulted in the loss of eyesight in that eye. It is imperative that her new family remain diligent with the twice-daily ointment that needs to be administered to her other eye and her family will need to find her a new ophthalmologist who can regularly monitor her eye. Yaya also has cystitis, a chronic bladder infection that can result in some accidents. She’s a bit embarrassed about this, but she is on a medication that helps support bladder health and reduce inflammation and like her eye ointment, this medication also needs to be regularly administered.
Yaya has made it clear that she prefers to be the only pet in the household. She does not share well and goes on high alert if other dogs are in the home, so SNORT is committed to finding her a home where she can rule the roost.
She is currently being fostered in a rural area which suits her quite well but she is open to other environments! A fenced-in yard is not required but would be an added bonus for sure. And while she has trimmed down, a home with limited steps would also be preferred to help her get around.
If Yaya has her way, she will find a family where someone (or multiple someones!) is home all day, or nearly all day. She really does not enjoy being alone and she also needs to be let out at regular intervals to help reduce any accidents. We can’t imagine wanting to be away from her for very long, anyway!
With a face and temperament like hers, we know Yaya will land the perfect forever home in no time!
