Story
**Meet Yennefer, the Playful Goofball with a Brave Heart!** Yennefer is a fun-loving, goofy girl who brings smiles wherever she goes. Despite having been through a lot in her past, she hasn’t lost her joyful spirit. She loves to play, be silly, and enjoy life to the fullest with the people she trusts. Yennefer is fully potty trained and does wonderfully in a home where she can be the center of attention. She prefers not to share her space with other dogs, so she’s looking for a family where she can be the one-and-only pet. If you’re ready to give a resilient, affectionate, and delightfully goofy dog the loving home she deserves, Yennefer is waiting to meet you!
