My littermates and I came to SPCA as tiny neonates and were lovingly bottle-fed. Now we're ready to find homes of our own! Hi, I'm Yam! 🐾 I'm a sweet little pup who has had a very special start to life thanks to the people who cared for me when I was tiny. Now I'm ready to take on the big wide world, learn new things and grow into a wonderful family companion! I'm at such an exciting age where everything is a new adventure. I'll need a family who can give me plenty of time, patience, positive reinforcement and guidance as I learn all about being a much-loved family dog. I would absolutely love a home with an existing friendly, well-socialised dog who could show me the ropes and help me build confidence. Dog-savvy children could be a lovely match, provided they understand gentle handling and the usual puppy teething antics! Confident cats may also be suitable with slow, careful introductions. Puppy school will be an important part of my journey, helping me develop good manners, confidence and all those essential life skills. I'll also need a securely fenced yard where I can safely play, explore and enjoy my puppy adventures. I do have a medical waiver that the team can share with you if you're interested. If you're ready to give a little bottle-fed sweetheart like me a lifetime of love, I'd love to meet you! 💛
