Hi there! My name is Yoshi, and I'm a 2-year-old, 57-lb 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 know several basic commands like sit, lay down, up, off, fetch, and hug (yes, hug!), and 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.
Ideal Home
I do best with female dogs only, 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.
Ongoing Health
No ongoing health conditions are noted.
Training & Support
I am crate trained, potty trained, and generally do well on leash. I can be a bit anxious on car rides, but I'm working on my confidence every day. I would likely do well with older children who can go slow and let me warm up at my own pace.

Transporation
I am currently located in Texas and can be adopted either locally or out of state. We coordinate everything with our ground transport teams to ensure I arrive to the adopter safely and we keep the adopter in the loop every step of the way. Transport costs are included in the adoption fees. We also have our fosters video chat with potential adopters prior to adoption so that the adopter gets to see me and ensure it's a fit.
