About Ymir

Meet Ymir, a gentle and lovable St. Bernard who's looking for a forever home. At 12 years old, Ymir weighs over 100 pounds and might tip the scales closer to 125 pounds as he gains weight. Despite his age, he's still capable of some surprising antics, like scaling a chain link fence or pulling on the leash when something catches his attention. A family familiar with St. Bernards would be ideal for him. Ymir is house trained and does well in his large kennel unless left alone. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, sturdy older kids, and even cats. Recently neutered, he may have been a bit too affectionate with other dogs, but that should improve now. Ymir is also predominantly deaf, so you won't hurt his feelings if he misses your calls. He has a couple of upcoming procedures for his dental work and eye surgery, which will be handled by the Rescue One veterinarians. If you believe you’re the perfect match for this easygoing guy, don’t hesitate to fill out the adoption application at Rescue One. His adoption fee of $75 includes his spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip. This lovable senior is ready for a warm home. Apply today!
