Yoris the beagle look-a-like

Yoris may be a beagle look-alike but he’s bigger and more impressive than that. In fact he’s considered an excellent watch dog and he should deter anyone who shouldn’t be in his yard. But with his human friends Yoris is very mellow, shy even, and he takes awhile to warm up to people and other dogs. But when he does it makes it all worth it. This handsome pup is about a year and a half old; he’s been sterilized, has had his shots, worming and tests and is ready to go to an appreciative home.

The adoption fee at the Shelter for dogs is NAƒ 125 and includes all this. To meet Yoris and the other healthy and social pets up for adoption visit the Bonaire Animal Shelter on the Lagoen Road, open Monday through Saturday, 9 to 1 and 3 to 5.
