Yam's Story

APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ADOPTION CONSIDERED<br/><br/>Yam is a 4-year-old, 12lb Schnoodle who is looking for his "third time's a charm" forever home. He came to us in rough shape—so matted he had to be shaved—which is why you’ll often see him sporting a stylish sweater to stay cozy!<br/><br/>While he looks like a cuddly stuffed animal, Yam is a high-octane athlete in a small package. He has been returned twice through no fault of his own; he simply needs an adopter who is more observant and active than the average pet parent.<br/><br/>The "Yam" Requirements:<br/>Escape Artist Extraordinaire: Yam can clear a 4ft fence with ease and will climb chain link like a ladder. A 5ft solid fence is required, or a commitment to 100% leashed outdoor time.<br/><br/>High Prey Drive: Squirrels are his obsession. Because of this, he is a strict "No Cats" dog. * The "Zoomie" Factor: Yam is known to run and jump when you least expect it. He needs an owner who is physically steady and always paying attention.<br/><br/>Adult-Only/Mature Home: Due to his "bolting" risk, we require no children under 10. We need a home where the door is strictly guarded so Yam stays safe inside.<br/><br/>Canine Friends: He gets along with calm, small dogs who respect his personal space.<br/><br/>The Reward:<br/>Once Yam feels secure and knows you are the leader of the pack, he transforms. He is highly responsive to commands once a bond is formed, and his absolute favorite hobby (besides squirrel-watching) is snuggling on your lap to watch TV. If you are a "dog person" who loves a project and wants a loyal, pint-sized shadow, Yam is ready to work for your heart.<br/><br/>🩺 The Yam Health & Quality Checklist<br/>Yam has been pampered and prepared for his next chapter with our Gold Standard care:<br/><br/>✅ Neutered <br/><br/>✅ Microchipped with an AKC Reunite Microchip<br/><br/>✅ Up-to-date on all flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives<br/><br/>✅ Fully Vaccinated<br/><br/>✅ Negative Fecal Exam (100% parasite-free)<br/><br/>✅ Negative for Heartworm<br/><br/>✅ Fed a Premium Diet (To help his beautiful Schnoodle coat grow back!)<br/><br/>CALLS WILL ONLY BE MADE to those that have completed an application on Suffolk Humane's website. www.SuffolkHumaneSociety.com . Application, fee of $200, home visit and vet reference apply.
