Meet the incredible Yams! 🌟 This vibrant, 60-pound bundle of joy is ready to fill your life with love and laughter! This playful pup may have started life as a stray, but let me tell you, he has not let that dampen his spirit! With a winning personality and a thirst for connection, Yams is all set to steal your heart! ❤️ He's a young charmer, already learning his ABCs of tricks—he's got "sit" down like a pro and is diligently working on "lay down." And wait till you see him on a leash; it’s like walking with a little furry gentleman! 🐶 He’s so polite that you can easily return him to his kennel without any fuss. You’ll be enchanted by his playful bounces and delightful greetings, and when he leans into cuddles, your heart will flutter! 🥰 But be warned, this fun-loving boy also has an explorer's spirit, so he’ll want to scope out his surroundings during some downtime! Looking for an adventure buddy? Yams is your guy! Whether it’s a game of fetch or a cozy cuddle session at the end of a long day, this pup brings joy in every moment. And here’s a fun fact: Yams is positively gentlemanly when it comes to sharing—no toy theft drama here! But, just a little something to keep in mind: he does have a hearty appetite and loves his meals, so a bit of personal space during chow time goes a long way. 🍽️ Now, Yams previously lived in a home with another dog and two children, and he thrived! 🌈 However, as with any new family member, gentle introductions are key! He’s a tad anxious when left alone, so a home where he won’t be left solo for extended periods would be just the ticket. But have no fear, he is open to crate training—it’s part of his ultimate acclimation plan! 🎉 If you’re looking for an affectionate companion who’s bursting with personality and ready to share a lifetime of love, Yams is your boy! Don't let this opportunity pass by—take the leap to meet Yams today! He’s all ready to share his silliness and charm with a new family! 🐾 And remember, you can try him out in a 5-day Adoption Audition! Just swing by the shelter during open hours to chat with the fabulous Customer Care staff about making Yams a part of your family. Don’t forget—apply to adopt him through the Buddy App! 📲 Check out the shelter information to find out where Yams is waiting for you, whether it's our Fairfax Campus or Lorton Campus. 💖 Timing is everything, so be sure to visit during our open hours!
