BIO: Enthusiastic about literally everything — that’s kind of my thing. Toys? Yes. Fetch? Obviously. You sitting down for one second? Perfect, I’ll be in your lap. I greet life (and humans) with full wiggle, big energy, and zero chill. I’m playful, affectionate, and just strategic enough to win hearts fast. If the game is getting your attention? Trust me… I came to play.
HIS FOSTER SAYS: "He warmed up to me the second I met him. He jumped on me to say hi and immediately wanted to cuddle."

Meet Yam Yam — a dog who is enthusiastic about literally everything.
Yam Yam is a goofy, high-octane, toy-obsessed sweetheart who approaches life at full speed. He’s friendly, incredibly affectionate, and firmly believes every human he meets is there specifically to adore him. Expect enthusiastic greetings, full-body wiggles, and zero concept of personal space. Sit down and there’s a strong chance he’ll climb directly into your lap (or onto your chest) for kisses and cuddles.
Energy level: high. Like, “throw the ball again” high. He loves tennis balls, squeaky toys, non-squeaky toys — honestly, if it’s a toy, he’s in. He’s playful, intelligent, inquisitive, and just stubborn enough to keep things interesting. He knows “sit,” takes treats enthusiastically, and is very motivated to engage — he just needs consistency to help channel all that enthusiasm into good decisions.
With other dogs, Yam Yam shines. He’s social, playful, and has done beautifully with canine friends. Though he'd do well as an only dog, a home with another confident, playful dog could be a great match.
He’s still working on the basics — house training, leash manners, and keeping four paws on the floor are all in progress. Structure, routine, and patience will go a long way with this smart, energetic guy.
Yam Yam isn’t a plug-and-play couch potato. He’s a “let’s build something awesome together” dog. Active home? Sense of humor? Appreciation for lovable chaos wrapped in sweetness?
Perfect. He’s ready to choose you. -
