If you’re looking for a dog who is equal parts loyal, easygoing, and quietly devoted… Yogi might be your girl. Yogi is a 5-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, around 63 pounds, with the softest chestnut coat and the sweetest, slightly wrinkled face that always looks like she’s smiling. She has a calm, grounded presence and forms strong bonds with her people — the kind of dog who just wants to be near you, keeping you company. Yogi is friendly and loving, though she may take a few minutes to warm up to new people. Once she does, she’s affectionate, fun, and incredibly easy to be around. She’s the type of dog who settles in quickly and becomes part of your routine without any fuss. She was pulled from BARC in Houston and is ready for a fresh start with a family who will love her the way she deserves.
Ideal Home
Yogi would do well in a house or apartment as long as she gets regular exercise. She would do best in a home with older, respectful children (recommended age 10 years and over) and with someone who appreciates a dog who bonds deeply and just wants to be part of your world. Yogi can be a bit selective with other dogs, doing best with calmer, easygoing dogs and preferring more one-on-one interactions over busy group settings. She can also thrive as an only dog. She has been exposed to cats and did well.
Ongoing Health
Yogi is currently heartworm positive and has started treatment. She will need a committed adopter who can continue her care. She is otherwise a healthy, wonderful dog ready for her next chapter.
Training & Support
Yogi is fully potty trained and crate trained (settles easily). She walks well on leash with just occasional reminders. She is a low-maintenance and adaptable dog. Every rescue pup is a work in progress, and that’s the beauty of it. They come with stories, quirks, and hearts that have seen a lot but still choose to trust again. Adoption isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Showing up for them, every day, until they know they’re finally home. That’s when you’ll see them bloom — soft and steady — into the very best version of themselves.
