Meet Yogi
******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************

Yogi, 5 years old, neutered male, Pitbull mix, 63 pounds. He is in a foster home in Houston, TEXAS and can transport to an approved adopter. Please note, he is physically located in the State of Texas.

We want to start with Yogi's minimal maintenance. We had him meet with a specialist regarding his eye. He has "dry eye" in his right eye, which requires daily eye drops. There is a possibility this will resolve in time, but we anticipate him needing these drops for his lifetime. It does not deter him from daily life in any way. We would be happy to chat more with an applicant.

Yogi is dog friendly. He has worked on his manners during doggy daycare. He will play bow and he loves to chase basically everything. He would do best with another dog who likes to engage in playful and is active. He is curious about other dogs when on leash, but does not bark or pull towards them.

Yogi has met kids around 8 years and older. He is generally uninterested in new people (kids included) unless they want to play with him. This looks like playing catch, throwing a ball, kicking a ball etc. We will note he is very intent when there is a ball involved so would recommend a home with kids who can be mindful of his focus when a ball is involved. He loves pets from strangers, men, women and children, but is fixated when a ball is around.

We have no history with cats.

Yogi walks really well on leash. He has a lose leash, walks in a straight line and does not pull. He is fully housebroken. He does well when crated and prefers to have his chew toys crated with him. He is generally quiet when crated.

As mentioned, Yogi LOVES his balls, toys etc. We have found he will resource guard those things around other dogs. He is responsive when redirected, but important to note if other dogs in the home.

He is an energetic dog and is looking for a moderately active home. He will play catch for as long as you want to throw a ball. He loves his daily walks. He is very goofy, curious and loveable. He enjoys water and mud haha. He always has some kind of a goofy look on his face. He rides great in the car.
