Yukon Duplin

My story

Hi there, I’m Yukon! Yep, like Yukon Cornelius, and we’re a lot alike! Sure, I might come off as a big, manly guy, but the truth is, I have the sweetest heart and am a friend to all. You could say I come with a lot of references. There are upwards of six people in the PLR family who have met me and can vouch that I’m an extremely special boy! They say I have the kindest disposition and give the best hugs. (The phrase “king of snuggles” may have been mentioned once or twice!) I’m about 2 years old, but I’m starting from scratch when it comes to basic commands and leash-walking, simply because no one ever taught me before! I’m working on it with my foster mom, always with a big, goofy smile. I’ve learned sit and paw in just a few days! I sleep in my crate overnight, but I need help learning to be alone during the day. I’m working through some separation anxiety and would do best with someone who can work from home and is home often. I know I’ll gain the confidence to be alone with time, practice, and patience. The good news is I’m not destructive, so if I’m out of my crate and people are home, I’m likely just sleeping by your feet. I get along great with playful dogs, and a furry friend could actually help boost my confidence! But I’m also happy as the only pup, as long as I get to spend time with my people. While a fenced yard isn’t required, having a safe space to explore at my own pace would really help me build confidence. I haven’t been around too many kids, but I think because I’m a little clingy and strong, older or dog-savvy kids would be the best fit. I’ve been all cleared by the vet, and I’m neutered and microchipped, so I’m ready to meet my forever family!
