Yip & Yap

Gentle Boys with Hearts of Gold

✨ Personality

Yip is a bright, affectionate 12-year-old boy with a zest for life and a keen sense of adventure. He is pure joy to be around, soaking up all the love and affection available to him. Yip is clever, energetic, and always ready for a walk. His glossy coat and sparkling eyes reflect the care and love he’s received—and the joy he now carries. Yip is deeply bonded to Yap, his lifelong mate, and won’t go far without him. If Yap lags behind, Yip will bark until he’s back by his side. He’s playful, loyal, and full of beans!

Yap is a quiet, tender-hearted 14-year-old gentleman who loves a brush, a scratch, and a slow stroll by your side. He’s softly affectionate and has a way of looking at you like you’ve been mates forever. Calm and steady, Yap brings a peaceful energy to every moment. He’s happiest when Yip is nearby, and their bond is truly something special.

🏡 Ideal Forever Home

Yip & Yap would thrive in a peaceful, calm and loving home with a secure yard, gentle routines, and someone who understands the beauty of second chances. Their ideal human appreciates quiet companionship. They must be adopted together as they’re a bonded pair who find comfort and confidence in each other. A quiet household with lots of love and soft places to rest would be perfect.

🛟 Rescue Story

We believe Yip and Yap had the same owner their entire lives, until he sadly had to go into care. Their gentle natures and trusting personalities suggest they were always treated with kindness and love. Sadly, we rescued Yip & Yap from the pound at Cobar. Their noses have endured significant trauma, likely from chronic injury and infection, and they bear the scars of that past, but their spirit is unbroken. Thanks to Sweet Pea’s care team, Yip & Yap are now healthy, happy, and ready to begin a new chapter, together.

🩺 Medical History

Yip’s nose shows permanent scarring from past infections and trauma, but this is now fully healed, and he's thriving. He also has some arthritis in his hips, perhaps from a previous injury, and is receiving treatment for this. Yip has received veterinary care, a nutritious diet, and plenty of TLC. He is a happy and easy-going boy.

Yap’s nose also shows permanent scarring from past trauma and infections, but he’s now fully healed and in good health. He’s received thorough veterinary care and is otherwise only suffering the arthritic changes that come with age.
