My name is Yogi!

Meet Yogi!

Yogi entered Baldwin Park Shelter as a stray, and when he wasn't claimed, we scooped him up on October 27th to become a Frosted Face. He is around 12 years old and weighs 16 lbs. Yogi LOVES going for walks and playing with toys!

Yogi went on a two-week Frosted Fling soon after he arrived at FFF, and being in a home environment helped him decompress after his stressful experiences as a stray and in the shelter. We received a great report from his Fling Family:

"Yogi is a cute little dude! He is learning to relax. He's finding his comfy spots throughout the home. Sometimes it's his bed and sometimes it's the middle of our floor! He is still a perfect pack pup. He does well with our dogs and our cat and enjoys playing. Yogi gets excited whenever we get up and has a little pep in his step when following us around. He loves to be greeted by our dogs and wags his tail when approached. He also enjoys his walks with the pack and likes to stop frequently to explore the neighborhood smells.

Yogi can still be a little spicy about being picked up. We practiced using a treat, gave it to him, and then quickly picked him up onto the couch. Everything was too quick for him to get upset and he had a mouthful of treat, so no naughty behaviors that time. He will need someone who is patient and can work with that behavior. It'll take time, but I think he would come around as his trust grows.

Yogi deserves a special family who can appreciate the quirks - spiciness included. He is a really chill guy who just wants to spend time near you. Doesn't jump on furniture either, if that's not your jam. He enjoys pets and kisses from his people. And he will reciprocate his love for you with the gentlest of kisses. He has gotten really great about sleeping through the whole night. Doesn't wake up at all anymore. Please someone scoop this sweet guy up soon!"

Yogi is currently on a second Fling as he waits for his forever home. His Fling Mom shares:

"Can you resist the Yogi look? He is ready for a forever home. A little patience pays off! He is a sweet dog who really wants loving. He is potty trained and will head to the door when he has to go. Yogi is a foodie and has put on some needed weight since being here. Today he got so excited as l prepared his dinner that he started dancing around the kitchen!

Yogi loves going outside. He gets along perfectly well with my mini Schnauzer and even wags his tail when the cat comes up to him. His hearing and sight is somewhat limited, but he knows where his bed is and even puts himself in his soft enclosure at night. Yogi doesn't have separation anxiety while I'm gone.

Yogi sleeps a lot and wants to be in whatever room the humans are in. He would do great in a home with another chill dog."

Yogi longs for a family of his own that understands he needs time to feel safe. He has so much love to give and is a lot of fun! If you have a Yogi-sized spot in your heart, please email our Placement Coordinators at adopt@frostedfacesfoundation.org.
