AvailableYogi

Yogi is a low-key sweetheart with a heart full of love for the people he trusts. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to curl up at your feet, soak up belly rubs, and be your shadow, Yogi might be your perfect match.

Like many sensitive dogs, Yogi needs a little time to warm up to new people. He thrives when introductions are slow and pressure-free, and once he feels safe, his affectionate personality shines. He’s smart, eager to learn, and already knows several commands, including sit, stay, come, down, go to bed, and go to place. He’s even working on “drop it!”

Yogi enjoys a relaxed lifestyle. Most of the day, he’s happy napping nearby, but he’ll surprise you with short bursts of playful energy for a game of fetch or tug before settling back in for another cuddle.

On walks, Yogi is easy to handle and doesn’t pull. He’s very responsive to his person—especially when high-value treats are involved! Because he’s nervous around unfamiliar dogs, he may bark or become excited when he sees them. With slow, thoughtful introductions, Yogi can make dog friends and has even done well at the dog park, though he’s still building confidence and isn’t quite ready to play with every dog he meets.

Yogi would do best with an adopter who understands that confidence takes time to build. He has some separation anxiety and prefers having his people close by, but he’s making progress. He’s mostly house-trained, sleeps comfortably in his crate, and continues to improve with patience and consistency.

If you’re willing to give Yogi the time he needs to settle in, you’ll be rewarded with an incredibly loving, devoted best friend who will happily trade endless belly rubs for unconditional loyalty.

Could Yogi be the missing piece of your family?
