About Yona.....fee Sponsored

Yona’s adoption fee is largely covered, thanks to a generous sponsor. She’s a Shepherd/Lab mix around a year and a half old with a medium coat. Yona’s story isn’t the easiest: when her previous owner couldn’t care for her due to medical issues, she ended up tied to a porch for two days without food or water. Despite such a rough patch, Yona managed to bounce back and is now thriving. You’ll find her friendly, eager to please, and always ready to play. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and completely house trained. Kids love her, and she’s gentle with them. She gets along with cats and, with slow introductions, does well around other dogs—her foster home reports great progress. If you’re seeking a loyal family companion who’s put the hard part behind her, Yona is ready to fit right in. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
