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