My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! My name is Yam, and I’m a big, goofy pittie mix with a heart as soft as my ears. I’m all about belly rubs, snuggles, and spreading love wherever I go. I’m good with cats, but I like to take things slow to make sure we’re all on the same page. Once we’re pals, we’re set for life! I also love kiddos (6+ please—I'm just a little too playful for the littlest ones), and I’m always up for a game of fetch or a cozy nap with my favorite humans. I’m also great with other dogs, but I prefer a slow introduction so we can get to know each other properly—no rush, just good vibes! My tail wags nonstop when I’m happy, which is... pretty much always. I’m just a sweet, happy boy who wants to share my Thanksgiving (and every day) with someone who loves me as much as I’ll love them. Let’s make this holiday season extra special! 🦃❤️

Additional adoption info

We require an in-person application for all dogs and cats. A home visit will be required for larger dogs, who require a fenced in yard. Our animals are only adopted out after they have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Our adoption fees are $90 for cats and $110+ for dogs. Puppies are $130. Cash, check, credit or debit card are all accepted. Sometimes the fee will be higher for a dog, if it is a purebred. We would like to keep our adoptions local; in the event the adoption does not work out, the animal must come back to us. Adopters must sign an agreement to this effect. We do consider out of state adopters, please phone us before coming. We are a private rescue. Please be patient if we take a little time to respond.

Those adopting a cat must bring a carrier to transport the cat home safely.
