About Yang

Adoption fee waived! Yang and her brother Yin spent a tough week fending for themselves as strays before landing in foster care. Despite their rough start, they’ve stayed tightly bonded—eating, playing, and even going to the bathroom side-by-side. Yang is about 1 year old, spayed, and current on vaccines. She’s especially protective of Yin, quick to step forward and bark if she senses a threat to him, but otherwise all smiles and warmth, especially around new friends. Both are great on leash, kennel trained, and travel like pros in the car. They get along with every dog they've met, and work best as a pair—looking for a foster-to-adopt setup together. With adults, they’re affectionate and well-mannered, but a kid-free home is a must. Yang’s Leo sun sign shows in her confidence and loyalty: she’ll always stand up for those she loves.
