About Thanksgiving : Yamtastic

Meet Yamtastic, a 9-month-old Shiba Inu mix who brings wild joy and comedy to every day. Rescued from an overcrowded situation with his siblings, Yam is loving the freedom of foster life and is soaking up every new experience—especially those involving toys and backyards. If it squeaks, it’s his. If it rolls, he'll chase it. He’s mastered leash walks, crate time, and has impressive toy-hoarding skills that will leave you laughing. Yam is house trained, sleeps well in his crate, and loves having other dogs around—he really needs a canine buddy in his forever home for confidence and fun. He's shy with new people but warms up with patience and snacks; once he trusts you, his goofy, affectionate side comes pouring out. Yam isn’t a fit for homes with cats—unless you have a particularly brave feline—and he thrives with adopters who are around most of the time, like remote workers or retirees. He already knows a handful of commands and picks up on new routines quickly. Yam is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and ready for a fresh start in Berwick, PA.
