About Yummi

Meet Yummi, a lovable small breed young adult dog resembling a chiweenie. While she’s thought to be around 3 years old, she might be a bit younger or older. This little girl has made substantial progress since being rescued from the streets of Ensenada, where she faced neglect and learned to distrust humans. Initially, she was shy and skittish, but after spending time with other dogs and in her foster home, she has blossomed into a social and affectionate companion. Yummi gets along well with dogs of all sizes and even with cats that share her space. Although she is gentle, she can be intimidated by fast movements, so any prospective family with children must ensure they approach her calmly and respectfully. She is healthy, fully vetted, and up to date on vaccinations. If you're looking for a sweet, playful addition to your home who just needs a little time to adjust, Yummi could be the perfect match. This adaptable girl is eager to experience life as a family pet. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
