About Yuan

Yuan is a fun-loving, energetic young dog with loads of personality and a big heart. He’s incredibly people-focused, thrives on human connection, and loves being part of the action—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just hanging out. Yuan has been diagnosed with a luxating patella (a knee condition that will require surgery), so he’s looking for a special home to support him through recovery.

To support his future family, Seeing Eye Dogs will cover the cost of his surgery, provided it’s completed within three months of adoption at one of our recommended specialist clinics. His adoption fee has also been waived.

Where I grew up

Yuan grew up in a loving home with two adults and a friendly, older golden retriever. He’s always had another dog for company and has been well-socialised in a home environment.

A good fit for me is...

Yuan will thrive in an active home with another friendly dog who enjoys play as much as he does. He loves toys and games, so a family that enjoys interactive play and can provide ongoing enrichment will suit him perfectly. He does best with someone who is home often, especially during his post-surgery recovery period, and who’s happy to supervise him in the backyard—he loves to dig and explore!

My personality traits

  • Very active with a strong toy drive
  • Loves people and enjoys being involved in whatever you’re doing
  • Settles well when given a cue and targets his bed beautifully
  • Curious and cheeky—he’ll keep you laughing with his playful energy
  • Gets along wonderfully with other dogs and finds comfort in canine company
  • Will need supervision outdoors as he loves a good garden dig!
