Yuri
Quick Summary
Chill, snuggly, and just the right amount of playful, Yuri is the kind of dog who fits into your life like she's always been there. She's happy to follow you from room to room, soak up all the affection, and then curl up right next to you for a nap. If you're looking for a laid-back companion who still has a little spark, Yuri is your girl.

Medical
Yuri is in great health and has been fully vetted and spayed. She previously had surgery to open her nares (nostrils) to support her breathing.
As a flat-faced (brachycephalic) dog, she may sound like she is struggling to breathe when excited, but she settles quickly and has been medically cleared. She has minimal snoring for her breed.
Because of her flat nose, she should avoid prolonged time outside in heat and midday walks. Our team is happy to provide guidance.
Background
Yuri came from a breeder, where she had two litters, and is now spayed and ready for her next chapter-living as a loved companion in a home of her own.
Final Thoughts
Yuri is the total package-loving, easygoing, and adaptable. She would do well with an older couple, a younger couple, a family with kids, or just about anyone looking for a loyal companion. Whether she's your one and only or joining another dog, she's ready to settle in and be your little shadow.
If you're looking for a snuggly best friend who just wants to be loved, Yuri is waiting for you
