Yoshi #3607

My name is Yoshi (#3607) and I am such a good boy! I’m a cuddle bug who loves lounging with my humans as much as I love to play fetch and frisbee. If you’re not actively petting me, I will use my highly dexterous paw and my head to suggest that you do, but when you’ve had enough, I respond quickly to a gentle “no” and redirect my focus to quiet time. Work from home? I will calmly mind my own business while you handle yours.

Outside, I enjoy chasing squirrels and sniffing around, but REALLY love to retrieve my ball and frisbee. Sometimes, I am reluctant to “drop it” after I bring it back to you (I love a good game of tug-of-war), but I’m learning to respond accordingly when you hold out two cupped hands or tap the ground. I’m quite good on a leashed walk; I ignore other people passing by and generally ignore other leashed/fenced dogs. I perk up at wandering cats but am not inclined to chase them (at least not while I know I’m on a leash).

I have been known to resource guard when around other dogs in the home. I can startle easily, so I’d be happiest in a home with no other dogs or young children, although I do think I’d love older children (more playmates!). I have lived with a cat before and could probably adapt to that again. I do like to bark when people come to the door, but I love all humans after a quick sniff test (and they love me!)

I am incredibly well-behaved in the house. I can be left free roaming when you’re gone and not get into any trouble. I wait for invitations to get up on furniture, and if not allowed, I respect boundaries. I sleep quietly all night, waiting for you to get up in the morning before I happily greet you with my belly available for rubbing. My foster can’t believe I haven’t been adopted yet because I’m so easy to get along with! I’m hoping you will find my cute face and freckled ears hard to resist.

Adoption fee: $350 plus $35 microchip fee
