Yoda

LOOK AT THIS FACE… HOW IS YODA STILL WAITING? ❤️

Meet Yoda — a 2½-year-old, 16-pound Terrier/Shih Tzu mix with adorable wild-child ears, a playful personality, and so much love to give.

Yoda is a sweet, sensitive little guy who can be shy when meeting new people. There’s one important thing his future family needs to understand: Yoda tends to choose one special person as “his person.” He will often bond with that person fairly quickly, but it can take him much longer to warm up to everyone else in the home.

He isn’t being stubborn or unfriendly. He simply needs time to learn that everyone is safe and that he can trust them. Once he does, he becomes incredibly loyal, affectionate, and devoted. When Yoda decides you’re part of his inner circle, you’ll have a best friend who truly loves being with his people.

Yoda is also a wonderful example of the 3-3-3 rule. Like many rescue dogs, he needs patience, consistency, and understanding while adjusting to a new home. His foster family has seen firsthand that although earning his trust takes time, it is absolutely worth the wait.

Yoda doesn’t need someone who expects him to trust everyone immediately. He needs someone who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time to build.

And once Yoda is comfortable, he’s ready for fun! He loves long walks, playing fetch, hiking, shopping trips, patio dining, and running around the yard with the zoomies. He’ll need a friendly dog buddy to play with and a secure fenced yard where he can safely explore and burn off some energy. No doggie doors, please, unless there is a secure covered enclosure outside. Yoda would also do best in a home without cats.

Yoda is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines. His adoption fee is $380, and he’s ready to find the family he’s been waiting for.

Give Yoda the time, and he’ll give you a lifetime of love and loyalty. Could you be his person?
