About Yak

Meet Yak! Yak is blossoming into a sweet companion. It’s hard to tell what challenges he faced while living on the streets, but now he’s receiving the care he deserves to prepare him for his forever home. This estimated 3-4 year-old, 14 lbs mini poodle mix, possibly with some Bichon Frise, is making strides with his training. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and is cat-friendly too. Although he can be a bit bossy with his high-value items, he thrives best in homes with kids aged 12 and older. Yak needs guidance on boundaries, but he’s excelling at crate training and is fully potty trained. Cuddling on the couch and belly rubs are among his favorite things. Yak enjoys adventures, whether that’s walks, hikes, or car rides, and he would love to be included in family outings. Regular grooming is essential for him, so be mindful of that when considering adoption. If you’re ready to bring Yak into your home, consider completing an application with Speranza Animal Rescue. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
