Story
Animal Profile: Yogi is an adorable terrier mix, estimated to be around 7 years old and weighs about 23 lbs (but he is on a weight loss journey to get to his ideal weight of around 20 lbs). He was originally rescued from Texas at the age of ~2, and recently re-joined our rescue when his family could no longer care for him. Foster Updated: Meet Yogi! This sweet boy quickly captures your heart with his soulful eyes. We kindly ask that you read through his entire bio before applying, as Yogi has some specific needs for his forever home. While 7 is still younger at heart, Yogi is more in his golden years era; looking for a quiet lifestyle to match where he is currently at for mobility and taking in life. Yogi enjoys the companionship of other dogs, even pups larger than him. Yogi isn't overly interested in engaging with other dogs, but he doesn't mind sharing his space with other calm pups. That being said, he also wouldn't mind being the only dog in the home and soaking up all the attention. He bonds hard to his people and gets excited to be around his humans. He also loves sniffing around outside in a yard or garden, though his mobility does keep him at a slower pace. He isn't a hiking companion or someone to join on long walks, but he will hangout by your side on gardening or sunbathing days. We are continuing to work with Yogi to get him a little more confident on leash and in the outside world. He is very anxious, and would thrive in a calm household. Yogi was not previously crate trained, but we are working with him on his crate training in foster care and he is showing improvement. One of Yogi's challenges have been his mobility, and he doesn't currently use stairs and getting around is limiting for him. This is partly due to his front legs being bowed, something he was born with, and having some joint deterioration. However, a healthy diet, daily joint supplements & pain relief medication have significantly helped Yogi get more comfortable and feeling better. Yogi would thrive in a home where he didn't have to utilize stairs to get around, and does best with carpet or other floor coverings that aren't too slippery. While jumping onto surfaces or hopping up stairs just isn't in his wheelhouse at this time, Yogi loves a cozy dog bed and will gladly curl up by your side. As a more anxious pup, Yogi is looking to join an adult-only household.
