My story

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

HI! My name is Yrene (pronounced Irene), and I am 2-3 years old! Funny story about my history of names: when I first came into animal control, they thought I was a boy because I was so scared that I wouldn't stand up, and named me Waylon. Waylon is actually a pretty cool name, but so is Yrene! My foster mom was looking for a boy dog to foster, but once she met me and saw how sweet (and skinny) I was, she couldn’t say no.

I was weak and shut down when they found me, but I’ve blossomed into a couch cuddling, silly, and loving girl. The things I love most are food, toys and snuggling. Loving food makes me treat motivated and easy to train, too. I’m a pro at kenneling up, and walking on leash. I won't pull you, or bark at other dogs. My foster mom actually really enjoys taking me on walks because she says it is such a peaceful experience having me with her.

I'm not overly needy for affection, but do love my people that I bond too. Other people are cool too, but I may be shy with them. But, its okay to be shy! Imagine if our world was full of only extroverts. I love cuddling with my foster mom and pretending I’m a small lap dog. I currently live with other big dogs and a cat, and especially love being around my dog foster brother. My dream home has a backyard to romp around in, followed by a comfy spot inside to take a long LONG nap.

One of my favorite activities is to take all my toys out of the toy bucket to pick which one to play with for the day and then carry it outside and forget about it. My foster mom doesn't mind, and is just so happy to see me happy. Maybe someone can train me to put all my toys back too!

My foster mom loves me, and I love her, too. But, I'd really love a person or family of my own, and she'd love to keep saving dogs to foster. I'm low maintenance and wouldn't mind a quiet or low activity home. I'll show my gratitude daily with my cute paw waves and head tilts with the most adorable face wrinkles.

The adoption fee for Yrene is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations.
