Yum

My story

Yum has overcome tremendous challenges with grace. Brought to us from another shelter who rescued her from an abusive situation Despite facing significant health challenges, Yum approaches life with remarkable adaptability and joy. She recently underwent surgery to remove both of her eyes due to blindness, chronic dry eye, and ongoing discomfort, but this hasn't slowed her down one bit. Yum navigates her world with impressive confidence and ease, proving that love and determination can overcome any obstacle. Because blind dogs thrive on consistency and familiarity, she would do best in a home where furniture and room layouts remain stable to help her feel secure and confident. Yum manages her health with daily medications for urinary incontinence and arthritis, both of which have significantly improved her comfort and quality of life. She takes her medications without any fuss. With a low to medium energy level, Yum is the perfect companion for someone seeking a calm, loving presence in their home. She absolutely adores food and is highly motivated by treats, making training and bonding a delightful experience. Her love for cuddles is unmatched, and she has the most endearing way of doing nose boops against you to find and connect with you. One of her most charming quirks is how much she enjoys having her hand or paw held, creating an instant bond with anyone willing to share this sweet gesture. Yum is a joy to walk with - she has excellent leash manners by following your lead without pulling. She has a delightful little trot that makes every walk an adventure, and she remains calm and composed around other dogs, she prefers to be with calm well mannered dogs. Car rides are a breeze with Yum, as she contentedly lies down for the entire journey. At home, Yum displays excellent house manners with just one small caveat: she'll get into the trash if it's not properly secured, but this is easily managed. She has no separation anxiety and is comfortable being left alone when needed. When it comes to rest and relaxation, Yum loves variety in her sleeping arrangements, happily rotating between her own bed, your bed, the couch, and cool floor spots depending on her mood. Yum's playful side emerges through her love of soft toys for cuddling and puzzle toys that dispense treats, combining her food motivation with mental stimulation. She also has the most adorable habit of loving to be picked up and flopped onto the couch for maximum comfort and closeness with her humans. This remarkable girl is looking for a patient, loving family who will appreciate her gentle nature and provide the consistent, caring environment she deserves. Yum has so much love to give and is ready to become someone's most devoted companion, proving every day that the best things in life come to those who open their hearts to dogs with special needs.
