Say cheeeeeeeeeeese! If you aren’t ready to smile, then don’t adopt me. If you can’t tell by my pics, smiling is in my DNA. I can be found, grinning ear to ear when someone talks to me! And don’t get me started on snuggles! I want them so bad that I cry and smile all at the same time!

I lived in a home before, but don’t like to share things with other dogs. So living with other dogs proved to be not the right fit for me. I’d like to be the only furry family member in your home. You won’t need any others anyway, after you get to know my gentleman-like persona!

Kids have to be old enough to run around and play fetch with me. I don’t want them to be small because I’ll just knock them down, and then they cry, and then I get upset, and no one wants an upset toddler AND an upset dog! So 12 and older would probably be better for me. Someone a little sturdier!

I really enjoy being with my humans. Being alone is sad, and lonely. The more time with my people, the better!

I’m still a young guy with energy to burn, so if you’re looking for just a “walk around the block” kind of guy, then I’m not for you. I need stuff to do! Adventures to go on! Exercise! And I don’t mean just in a yard. I mean let’s go for walks and hikes and stuff. Every day! The more the merrier, and I’ll also play fetch with you too. Until I run the fur right off of my paws!

Hiya! I’m Benny the Bernedoodle, your future best buddy with a wagging tail and a big heart! I’m originally from the hustle and bustle of New York City, so I’m used to being on the move. Long walks? Yes, please! Agility courses? My favorite! I love meeting new people (I’m quite the socialite) and playing with other dogs who can keep up with my playful antics.

Recently, I got a fresh shave, and while my fluffy coat is taking a little break, I’m still as dashing as ever. With the new year here, I’m ready for cozy nights snuggled up after fun days of brisk winter walks and playtime in the snow. I’d even help you with your New Year’s resolutions—though I might mistake your checklist for a new chew toy! I would benefit from training to channel my energy and would thrive with an equally energetic dog friend and a fenced-in yard where we can play to our hearts’ content.

I’m looking for an active home with no kids where I can channel my energy and enthusiasm. If you’re ready for a fun-loving companion who will bring excitement and joy to your life, I’m your guy. Let’s make every day an adventure together!

Bonjour! We are Gigot (pronounced “zhee-go”) and Agneau (pronounced “ahn-yo”)—a très magnifique bonded pair of Goldendoodles straight out of the South!

We may sound fancy with our French-inspired names—Gigot means “leg of lamb,” and Agneau means “lamb”—but we’re really just two sweet pups looking for a cozy, peaceful home where we can thrive together.

We each have our own charming quirks. Gigot is le sportif of the duo and could play fetch all day long—he’s like an Olympian with a tennis ball! Agneau, on the other paw, is a cuddle connoisseur and adores belly rubs. She does have cataracts, but that doesn’t stop her from soaking up all the love you can give. If you’re willing to oblige, she’ll happily flop over and soak up all the love you can give.

We have a certain je ne sais quoi that makes us très spécial, but we’ll be honest: we need a family with patience and a knack for understanding dogs like us. Agneau’s cataracts might require specific care or accommodations, and we’re confident the right family will help her thrive. We’re not fans of other dogs (we react with a bit too much enthusiasm), so we’re searching for a home where it’s just us—no other pups to share the spotlight. A fenced-in yard is a must so we can play and explore safely.

We’d also prefer a quieter household without a lot of visitors or foot traffic. We’re still learning the ropes of living in a home, but with your guidance and love, we’ll be très bon élèves (very good students).

Our perfect family will have experience with dogs like us and the patience to help us build our confidence. In return, we’ll shower you with bisous (kisses), cuddles, and lots of fluffy companionship.

If you think your home could be our château, we’d love to meet you! Together, we’ll make life magnifique!

Avec amour, Gigot & Agneau

Hi there! I’m Mura! I’ve had quite the interesting life before coming to Yankee. I am originally a street dog from Turkey which made getting accustomed to the indoors difficult at first but my friends at the kennel have helped me gain lots of life skills and I now feel prepared to take on anything! I would love to get the chance to meet you and find my forever home but there are some things you should know about me first. I have an unusual love language so if I start nibbling at your clothes don’t be alarmed, this just means I really like you! I’m hoping to meet someone who accepts this weird quirk.

I can be super playful when I feel like it and love to run around in a yard so it would be ideal if I went home with someone with a fenced in yard. My favorite toys are either big fluffy plushies and hard bones, depending on what mood I’m in. I also love hot dogs and whipped cream or pretty much whatever treat you give me.

If I’m a little anxious or reserved at first I hope you won’t judge me for it, life has not been easy for me so it might take me a little bit longer to let my full goofy personality out. I’m a very unique and special dog looking for someone with compassion and patience.

I get along with some female dogs but I would still prefer to be the only dog of the house. I don’t think I would like living with kids very much.

Get yourself a glass, cause you just found yourself a tall drink of water!

I go by Tanji – but Tangelino, TJ, TanMan, Tanjiroon, or doofus work as well. I can say I was truly saved by YGRR, as I was set to be put to sleep the day they swooped in and secured a place for me at Yankee. I was someone’s dog at some point in my life, as I sadly have scars around my neck from a collar that was probably left on too tight. But I must have somehow gotten away from that situation, and was then a stray, just roaming the streets in Texas. A good Samaritan was feeding me everyday for weeks. I would meet her at our “spot” eat some food, hang out with her a little, and then she would leave until the next day. I stopped showing up for feeding for a few days and then showed back up with an injury of sorts on my head. She took me to a shelter to get proper treatment, and I was unfortunately not going to make it to the adoption floor due to my injuries.

Yankee saw me, and took me under their wing, brought me to MA, and treated my injuries.

I have since been learning to “dog”. Things like learning what toys are, and how to play with them. What to do when you are walking me. I even now know how to sit, lie down, and settle on a bed when asked to!

I have bonded here with a few staff members in particular, and would love to go to a home where I can have my own people to bond with and continue my journey with me.

I enjoy the company of certain other dogs, but it sort of depends on how we mesh, so I would rather be the only dog in my home with maybe some dog friends to go on walks with or hang out with from time to time after proper introductions.

I am still a bit goofy with my body and will run into your legs because I don’t know where my body is in space. Hence, doofus. I LOVE to go through your legs from behind to get your attention! It’s like MY trick that I brought along with me. It’s endearing.

I enjoy long walks, play time (now that I am learning what toys are), soccer balls, sticks, and galloping around in circles like a horse with my tongue out. I also enjoy learning new things and am very food motivated, so PLEASE a home that wants to keep helping me to learn all the life-skills I’ve missed out on by living in the bad situations I was in previously.

While I am on the search for my forever home I would love to learn how to “dog” with a a foster that can lead the way. I do need a home with no young kids, and a home that understands that food was once a rarity to me. I don’t want to share edible items once you give them to me, so just give me the space I needs to eat it and move on.

Apollo, we have landed! First step for mankind and first home for the best man! Hi I am Apollo, a handsome fun-loving dog from the south. Some of my favorite things are water, toys, and walks! I have a goofy personality. I love the pool and will chase toys in the water! I have become a volunteer and staff favorite with my loving personality and contagious smile.

I have done great with the girlies, but I have a past of being bullied by other males and it has left me wary of male dogs. Sorry boys, you can’t sit with us! I love kids and will great them ever so gently. I will chase a flirt pole and retrieve toys. I do amazing on leash and would love to join an active family on walks and adventures. My family should continue with my training as I am a smart boy that finds learning to be enriching. Once I get my daily exercise, I become a couch potato that enjoys cuddling.

In the meantime while I am on the search for my forever home, I would love to learn new life skills in a foster home as well.  I would love to join my forever family on adventures and hikes! , I would be the perfect addition to a family that enjoys spending time outside and being by the water. One small step for man, one giant leap for Apollo!
