My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PWRESCUE.ORG



"SIZE MATTERS NOT" quote by Yoda....

Meet Yoda, a 2-year-old, 16-pound Terrier/Shih Tzu mix with a big personality packed into a petite body. With his wispy, “wild child” ears and mischievous sparkle, Yoda is equal parts charm, fun, and heart.

Originally found as a stray, Yoda is now in a loving foster home while he waits for his forever family. He is a very sweet—but shy—boy who needs a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to feel safe and confident.

Yoda tends to bond most closely with one person, and it can take time and patience for him to feel comfortable around others in the household. If you’re familiar with the 3-3-3 rule (and if not, we encourage you to look it up!), it describes Yoda perfectly. He isn’t a dog who settles in instantly, but with consistency and kindness, he truly blossoms. Once trust is established, he becomes deeply affectionate and wonderfully loyal. Yoda must be in a home where everyone understands and respects his need to move at his own pace.

An energetic and happy pup, Yoda loves to stay active. Long walks, games of fetch, hikes, shopping trips, and patio dining are all right up his alley. He would also enjoy having a friendly canine companion to wrestle and learn from, as well as a fenced yard for zoomies and sunny lounging.

Yoda is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines—fully ready for his next great adventure. Now all he needs is the right person (or people) to take that journey with him.

Additional adoption info

Our process starts with an adoption application, followed by interview / meet & greet with adopter and their existing pets, agree to a home check for the safety of the adopted pet and when approved, will complete an Adoption Agreement along with adoption fee. Fees vary based on adoptable pet's age, breed, and situation. Fees range from $120-$550. Cash or check is preferred payment.

Go meet their pets

We have adoption events every other Saturday from 11:00-2:00 PM at PetSmart in Scottsdale (10030 N. 90th Street).

Due to the holidays, the every other week schedule might be off beginning in January, so please contact Petsmart at 480-391-1647 to find out whether there is an event prior to making your way there.

More about this rescue

Pathways Home Animal Rescue is an all volunteer / foster based organization dedicated to finding the best homes for abandoned, surrendered, and county shelter animals. We stay small so we can devote our energies and resources to all the animals in our care. When we take in a found or stray animal every effort is made to reunite them with their owners. All animals in our care receive proper veterinary care, are spayed or neutered, all appropriate vaccinations, preventative care, and microchip are administered before they are adopted.
