🐾 Meet Baron Von Yap!

Greetings, humans! It is I, the distinguished gentleman known as Baron Von Yap.

I am a 5-year-old, 11.4-lb Havanese mix  and as you might have guessed from my title, I am a man with a lot of personality. I am not what you would call a “wallflower.” I am a spunky, fun-loving guy looking for a kingdom where I can be the center of attention.

Now, about the name. I didn’t earn the title “Baron Von Yap” by being silent! I take my job as the household announcer very seriously. I believe it is critical to alert you whenever someone enters our home or whenever you try to leave. I’m just trying to keep you informed! Because I am so dedicated to my vocal duties, I absolutely cannot live in an apartment, condo, or townhouse. I need a detached home where I won’t disturb the neighbors with my royal proclamations.

I am a very independent fellow. I actually love playing by myself—I’ll toss my toys around and entertain myself, which my foster family thinks is hilarious. But when I do want to play with you, my favorite game is Chase. I love zipping around after my people for fun!

I do have a few “Royal Decrees” regarding my lifestyle that you must follow:

• The Royal Dining Service: I am a sensitive soul with very sensitive ears. I simply cannot stand the sound of dog tags clinking against a bowl or kibble hitting metal. It’s terrifying! I will not eat out of a metal or ceramic bowl. You must serve my meals on a plastic bowl, a paper plate, or a snuffle mat. Silence is golden during dinner.
• The Royal Court: I prefer to be the only Prince in the palace. I generally don’t care much for other dogs, and I definitely cannot live with a high-energy dog (they are just too much for me). I would be happiest as your one and only, though I might tolerate a very calm, low-energy roommate who knows how to ignore me.

I am a Havanese mix  which means I require regular professional grooming to keep my luscious locks looking this good. I need someone home part of the day to continue house training. If you have a fenced yard, a supply of paper plates, and a desire for a dog who will always tell you what’s on his mind, then I am at your service!

Fill out an application and come meet the Baron! I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations and preventatives and I had a dental.  My adoption fee is $175.
