About Yukon

Meet Yukon! This adorable Aussie/Yorkie mix recently arrived from a hoarding situation in Missouri. He’s been shy, still adjusting to the hustle and bustle of human interaction and learning what it means to be part of a loving family. Yukon needs a patient and understanding adopter who can help him build trust and confidence. While new experiences might initially feel overwhelming for him, gentle encouragement, consistency, and love will help him thrive. He still has some work to do on basic manners, such as potty training and leash training, so a family that understands these skills develop over time will be ideal. Yukon is a sweet boy who simply deserves a chance to flourish in a caring environment. If you have a soft spot for shy pups and are ready to help him uncover the joy of a home, Yukon would love to meet you! Every dog in our care is dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and current on age-appropriate vaccinations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
