Yuma - Husky Dog for Adoption in Franklin, Tennessee

Meet Yuma

Yuma is a 5-year-old husky mix with the softest eyes and the sweetest soul; a true gentle giant weighing in at around 70 lbs of pure love.

If youre looking for a dog who just wants to be close to you, Yuma is your guy. Hes incredibly affectionate and will happily try to fit his big self into your lap, soaking up every bit of love he can get. He has the cutest, soft little woo woos that make you smile every time you hear them.

Yuma is:
Incredibly sweet and gentle
Great with other dogs (even if hes a little intimidated by the tiny ones!)
A total love bug who thrives on affection
Enjoys walks and is working on perfecting his leash manners
Well-behaved in the home

Yumas story is one of quiet resilience. In his previous home, he spent much of his time outdoors with a dog house for shelter. When his owner realized they couldnt give him the life he deserved, they made the decision to surrender him, giving Yuma the chance to find a home where he can truly thrive.

And hes making the most of that chance.

Despite everything, Yuma is nothing but loving, gentle, and trusting. He leans into affection, seeks out closeness, and just wants to be part of a family. Watching him discover comfort, soft places to rest, and consistent love has been incredibly special.

He would do wonderfully in a home that can continue helping him build confidence on leash, enjoy daily walks, and most importantly, give him all the love hes been missing.

Yuma is the kind of dog who will quietly become your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your best friend.

If you have room in your home (and your lap) for a big, soft-hearted companion, Yuma is ready to love you forever.
