Yote

Meet Yote, affectionately known as “Yo-Yo,” an approximately 27-pound mixed Irish Terrier who has made wonderful progress in foster care. After recovering from significant injuries caused by a coyote attack, Yote discovered that life as a house dog—and especially couch time—can be pretty great.

Once he feels safe, Yote is sweet, friendly, and affectionate. He enjoys lounging and cuddling on the couch, but he remains very timid and needs patience, consistency, and realistic expectations as he adjusts.

Ideal Home

Yote needs an adult-only, quiet, and predictable home with someone who understands fearful dogs or is willing to learn. Loud outdoor noises, new people, unfamiliar places, and changes can overwhelm him. He needs a safe indoor retreat, a consistent routine, and plenty of time to decompress without pressure.

He does well with other dogs, though a calm canine companion would be the best match. A rambunctious household may be overwhelming for him.

Ongoing Health

Yote’s wounds have healed. He is neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations, and current on prevention.

Training & Support

Yote does well in a crate and is generally quiet. He may need significant time to adjust after adoption and should be allowed to build confidence at his own pace. Small milestones, such as choosing to sit beside you or cuddle on the couch, are meaningful victories for him.
