🌟 Meet Yoda, the dazzling 80-pound black shepherd mix who's bursting with personality and charm! At just 2 years old, this delightful boy is as bright as a sunny day. Yoda is a football fanatic, a couch cuddler, and even has a whimsical side - he loves to chase bees! 🐝 Talk about a clever pup! This smart cookie is currently shining in his obedience training and is truly impressing everyone around him with his learning feats. Yoda is a true people-lover and is ready to meet all the kind souls who cross his path! However, he has a bit of an aversion to other dogs these days. While he initially got along splendidly with other dogs during tests at the shelter and with his foster’s dog, Yoda now prefers his royal spot as the one and only canine king in your castle. 👑 So, he would thrive in a home where he can be surrounded by his favorite humans! Patience and positive reinforcement are key, along with a fenced-in backyard for him to showcase his fetching skills! 🎾 His original foster mom shared this heartwarming insight: "Yoda is an affectionate, sweet boy. He’s a SUPER quick learner and has already mastered sit, fetch, and the doggie door! 🏠 Yoda’s not possessive and loves to play with his toys, especially tossing his stuffed dog around. This lovely canine is perfectly balanced - he knows when it’s time to play and when it's time to relax next to his favorite humans, following them faithfully from room to room. Yoda has been wonderful with children too and is so gentle with everyone who visits! 🌈 He goes into his kennel easily and loves his peaceful sleep, not moving a muscle until you enter the room, at which point his tail starts wagging like a kid on Christmas! 🎄 Yoda is pleasantly quiet and has had no accidents in his home or kennel - a true surprise considering his size! He sometimes forgets how big he is when playing, but he's learning commands effectively. His leash skills are in progress; he does tend to whine and pull at the sight of other dogs, but don't let that deter you! He dreams of being a lap dog at heart. 🥰 Yoda is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccines, and is heartworm negative. His caretakers are more than happy to provide essentials, like a dog crate and food for anyone willing to foster this special boy. Plus, he comes with a collar, leash, harness, toys, and a dog bed, making him ready for his new adventure! 🏕️ If you're ready to open your heart and home to the affection and joy that Yoda has to offer, *apply through the Buddy App* today!
