Yondu is the Myrtle’s “Mutt of the Month”

WLAF News

JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Meet Yondu the “Myrtle’s Mutt of the Month”. He’s around two years old and is a gorgeous boy with a whole lot of personality. He’s recently enjoyed a bit of time away from the shelter, giving staff a better glimpse of life with Yondu.

Yondu walks nicely on a leash, is crate trained, appears housebroken, and enjoys peanut butter. He would like a doggie playmate and of course introductions are recommended.

While Yondu may have some working-dog breed in him, he’s probably better suited to life as a companion.

He needs a secure yard and room to stretch his legs and also a home with no cats. After nearly two months at the shelter, Yondu needs a place where he can finally settle-in and decompress.

Can’t commit to adoption? Why not foster?

Since Yondu is the “Mutt of the Month”, this is what it means for you: the adoption fee is waived, there’s six months flea and tick prevention, a six months supply of Heartworm prevention, a collar and a leash, one month’s pet medical insurance/MetLife Pet Insurance comes with Yondu, Portside Marine offers a $100 gift card. Other benefits include a free first training session courtesy of Training Ink, $100 in free dog services thanks to the Dog Dasher, and $10 off grooming from Chasing Tails Grooming.

Stop by and meet Yondu at the adoption center, animal shelter, which is open Tuesday – Saturday, noon to 5:30pm, at 749 Towe String Road, Jacksboro, next to the convenience center. The shelter’s telephone number is 423-566-8018.

You can view all of the adoptable pets on Petfinder. Adoption applications can also be completed  online.

To adopt Yondu, visit the shelter to apply or online. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-11/09/2026-6AM)
