Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Terrier / Mixed. Meet Yogi – The Goofy Gentleman! Yogi is an 11-year-old, 17 lb, dachshund-terrier mix who’s looking for a patient, loving home where he can take his time to feel safe and settle in. He may be shy at first, but give him a few weeks and he’ll wiggle his way right into your heart with his goofy personality and clumsy antics. Yogi walks well on a leash, right by your side without pulling, though he’ll be sure to alert you when the mail carrier, delivery trucks, or visitors approach. He can be vocal — sometimes howling or whining when crated — so an apartment might not be the best fit for him. He enjoys having access to a backyard, but it isn’t a must as long as he gets his walks in. He’s still getting used to his crate and making steady progress. With outdoor access, Yogi will happily do his business outside — sometimes he just needs his person nearby to keep him focused, since he can be easily distracted. As a senior pup, Yogi may be losing a bit of his hearing and vision, but he doesn’t let that slow him down. He LOVES fetch — even if he doesn’t always see where the ball lands. Sometimes he brings it back, sometimes he tosses it in the air and chases it himself, and if given the chance, he’ll even “skin” the ball with great satisfaction. When it comes to downtime, Yogi enjoys his naps and is slowly learning the joys of cuddling. He may not seek out your lap just yet, but once you put him there, he settles right in and seems to love it. Health update: Yogi is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean bill of health. The vet does recommend a dental cleaning (and maybe a couple of extractions), but otherwise he’s in great shape for his age. Social life: Yogi does well with smaller dogs and may adapt to larger dogs with a slow introduction and some time. We’re not sure about cats or kids yet, but his gentle personality suggests he could adapt well with patience and care. Yogi is a sweet, silly boy who just needs time, patience, and love. In return, he’ll make you laugh, keep you company, and be your loyal little shadow. Ready to give Yogi the safe, happy retirement he deserves? Fill out a statement of interest today to meet this distinguished, fun-loving gentleman!
