Hi there! My name is Yoshi, and I'm a 2-year-old, 57-pound Anatolian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a fluffy coat to match. I am super sweet and affectionate, and I adore people. My absolute favorite things in the world are playing fetch and snuggling up for cuddle time. I'm a big fan of balls, squeaky or crinkly toys, yummy treats, and good bones – basically all the best dog things! I'm a happy, playful boy who loves life and enjoys being close to my humans. I was raised alongside a male dog, but we recently started having some issues together, which are most likely related to littermate syndrome. Because of this, I'd do best in a home with only female dogs, or with a meet-and-greet prior to adoption if there is a male dog in the home, just to make sure everyone is comfortable. I prefer to enjoy my meals and bones in my own space away from other dogs – who doesn't appreciate a little privacy while eating? I'm not a fan of cats (they are just a little bit scary for me!), and car rides make me a bit anxious, but I'm working on my confidence every day. I know several basic commands like sit, lay down, up, off, fetch, and hug (yes, hug!). I'm crate trained, potty trained, and generally do well on leash – with the occasional curious bark or tug if something exciting catches my eye. I haven't spent much time around kids in my foster home, but I'd likely do well with older children who can go slow and let me warm up at my own pace. Overall, I'm a loving, loyal boy who's just looking for a calm, understanding home where I can relax, feel safe, and be my best fluffy self. If you're searching for a devoted companion who will adore you with his whole heart, I might just be your guy.
