My story

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

Looking for a new best friend? Well my name is Yako and I may just be able to help you out with that. I am a sweet, friendly dog who is currently on the lookout for a new best friend. And I am quite the handsome guy sporting a soft black and white coat and one of the cutest little faces you have ever seen. I am a playful dog who loves people, treats and toys -- in that order! I am also a very polite pup who sits nicely for my treats and takes them softly from your hand. I have lived with young children and another dog in my previous home. I would make a great companion for someone who loves the outdoors like I do. I would be a great walking or running partner and if you like to go on long hikes, I will be right there with you. And I am a very affectionate dog who specializes in cuddles and snuggles! And who doesn't love that?! So if all of this sounds good to you, hurry on down to the shelter so we can meet. I am looking forward to starting the next chapter of my life with my new best friend!
