Yakety Yak D70652 - Jack Russell Terrier and Basenji Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Yakety Yak, and I am from Arkansas!

Yakety Yak is the sweetest girl waiting to find her forever home. She is more cat than dog and after only 5 minutes with her, we promptly renamed her "Roo" because of her big ears and long legs. She is very much a basenji in that she has funny adorable quirks. She doesn't love the grass and has decided she will only do her business on hard surfaces. She will beg to sit in your lap and give you a trillion kisses all day long. She very rarely makes any sound in terms of barks or whimpers, but her adorable personality makes up for it. She is crate trained and seemingly house trained as she hasn't had an accident yet. She does great with our resident dog and loves grooming him. She would love to be anyone's cute petite shadow!

The Basenji is a small hunting dog known for its unique traits, including a highly distinctive yodel like sound instead of a typical bark, and the inability to bark like other dogs. Originating from Africa, these intelligent and curious dogs are independent, agile, and alert, making them excellent companions for active individuals or families with experience handling their assertive nature. Recognized for their clean habits and cat like grooming behavior, basenjis require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive in a loving home environment.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a lively and intelligent small breed known for its boundless energy and strong hunting instincts. With a distinctive white coat and often sporting tan or black markings, these dogs are full of personality and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Jack Russell Terriers are fiercely loyal and make excellent companions for active owners willing to provide the mental and physical challenges this energetic breed needs to stay happy and healthy.
