Miss Yaya is more than a beautiful face – she also has a lot to offer the right forever family!
A breeder surrender who spent countless years just making babies, Yaya is one of the most affectionate dogs you could ever want to meet…and with those adorable wrinkles and pouty lips, how could anyone not want to smother her in affection and attention all day?!
She just loves being around humans, including older children, as long as they’re willing to dole out the cuddles and love! She’s not necessarily your walking partner – though she’ll do it and get an A – she far prefers to lay her head on laps and snooze the day away. If there isn’t a lap on which to lay, she will (eventually) be satisfied to take a nap on her own personal dog bed.
Yaya knows that a lady never talks about her weight, but she just has to brag for a minute – she has lost well over 10 pounds since arriving at her foster home! She will need to remain on strict portion control (despite her protests! – and look – who really isn’t?) with limited treats in order to maintain the needed weight loss for her long-term health.
Yaya has dry eye in one eye. In fact, her other eye developed a corneal ulcer that resulted in the loss of eyesight in that eye. She will need twice-daily ointment in her one eye but it’s easy to do and can be done with meal time. Yaya also has had cystitis, a chronic bladder infection that can result in some accidents but only over night as she goes out every 4-6 hours with no accidents! She’s a bit embarrassed about this, but she is on a medication that helps support bladder health and reduce inflammation and like her eye ointment, this medication also needs to be regularly administered.
Yaya has made it clear that she prefers to be the only pet in the household. Frankly, as an only child writing this – I tend to agree. I want to be the Queen too. She gets to rule the roost.
She is currently being fostered in a rural area which suits her quite well but she is open to other environments! A fenced-in yard is not required but would be an added bonus for sure and frankly her lack of enthusiasm in entering any Olympic event of walking – a fenced in yard would be perfect. Doesn’t even need to be big. Being she is an English Bulldog – a home with limited steps would also be preferred to help her get around.
If Yaya has her way, she will find a family where someone (or multiple someones!) is home all day, or nearly all day. She really does not enjoy being alone and she also needs to be let out at regular intervals to help reduce any accidents. We can’t imagine wanting to be away from her for very long, anyway! She appreciates every human especially when she was nothing but a commodity for so long. Time for this girl to be front and center.
With a face and temperament like hers, we know Yaya will land the perfect forever home in no time!
