Meet Yogi! This wonderful boy has come so far and has an amazing story. Yogi was locked in a barn for the first year of his life, with no exposure to the sun, grass, people, or other dogs. He was very shut down upon arrival, and we've spent many months working with him. Slowly but surely, Yogi has come out of his shell. For the past few months, he has been fostered by our trainer, Melissa, and Yogi has made even more leaps and bounds. This boy is so sweet, gentle, and kind; you can't help but fall in love with him.
Ideal Home
Yogi is 3 years old, young and energetic, and requires a fenced yard for his daily "morning run." He loves a good game of tug, works for praise, and finds physical touch to be his preferred love language. Yogi is as loyal as they come and puts a lot of trust into his handler, feeling most safe around them. Having been found abandoned in a horse barn, he requires someone patient in guiding him when experiencing the world beyond a horse barn stall. Yogi will do best with someone who is physically active or can meet his mental and physical needs, including someone who may be interested in participating in dog sports such as Treibball or herding trials. He co-exists peacefully with a resident dog, a 6-year-old female mix with moderate energy. This dear boy will do best in a home without young children, as he is still easily startled. A home with a secure yard is a must.
Ongoing Health
Yogi is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption fee is sponsored by a kind supporter.
