About Yoyoma Fee Sponsored

Yoyoma is a large American Bulldog/mixed breed whose adoption fee is fully covered, and she comes with six free virtual training sessions to help her settle into her new home. At about 11 years old, she’s been patiently waiting in foster care—mainly because she wants to be your one-and-only loyal companion. Yoyoma loves the simple things: lounging beside you for naps, watching TV, and best of all, chasing a ball in a good, fenced backyard (the higher the toss, the better). Walks on leash are fine, but she much prefers sniffing around her own space and keeping things familiar rather than venturing into crowds. Yoyoma prefers to be the only dog in the family, though she’s had some play sessions with larger dogs while in foster. She enjoys kids who engage her with clear instructions, like asking her to sit and then retrieve during a game of fetch—boundaries help her feel at ease. This girl thrives under an experienced handler, and she’s already house trained, knows some obedience, goes to her crate on command, and even handles bad weather potty breaks like a champ. She’s muzzle trained (for vet visits), cautious with strangers, and appreciates slow introductions. If you are looking for a companion who wants a quieter life and will give her whole heart to a family, Yoyoma could be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
