Nami - Fox Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Nami! ??

Named after the adventurous navigator from One Piece, Nami is an 11-month-old girl with the sweetest heart. As her foster family, we've had the joy of watching her personality blossom, and while saying goodbye won't be easy, we know she's ready to find a family of her very own.

When you first meet Nami, she can be a little shy and unsure around new people. She likes to take her time getting to know you, but once she feels safe, her loving personality truly shines. She adores cuddling, wants to be close to her people, and is perfectly happy being carried around like a baby. She's incredibly loyal and loves being included in whatever you're doing.

During her time with us, Nami has done wonderfully living with:
Children ages 4–12
Small dogs
Cats (she can be a little playful and puppy-like with them!)

Nami is kennel trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccinations. She currently enjoys having a fenced yard to run around in, so she hasn't had much experience with regular leash walks outside of outings, but she's young and eager to continue learning.

Like many puppies, Nami gets very excited at mealtime and tends to eat quickly, so we've been using a puzzle bowl to help slow her down.

We don't expect Nami to get much bigger than she is now.

The ideal home for Nami is one that's patient, loving, and willing to let her adjust at her own pace. Once she trusts you, you'll have a best friend who will happily follow you from room to room, curl up beside you on the couch, and love you with her whole heart.

If you think Nami might be the missing piece of your family, we'd love for you to come meet her. She has so much love to give, and we can't wait to see her find the forever home she deserves.

The Fox Terrier is a small, energetic, and intelligent breed known for its distinctive appearance, with smooth or wirehaired coat varieties. Fox Terriers are fearless and playful, making them excellent companions for active families. Their history lies in hunting foxes, reflected in their high prey drive and need for mental and physical stimulation. They are loyal and affectionate towards their owners but may show dominance over other dogs. Regular exercise and training are essential for a well balanced Fox Terrier.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
