Yoda is a small, sharp little character with a history that makes him extra cautious around new people. His anxiety runs deep, and the right adopter will have experience with dogs who are slow to trust. Yoda’s got a trademark look—one ear always perked up as if he’s listening in on the world’s secrets. He’s fiercely athletic, leaping over 4-foot fences with no effort and even managing to climb 6-foot chain link. If you’re considering bringing him home, a 6-foot wood or vinyl fence is an absolute must. Yoda’s background has left him feeling exposed, so he reacts strongly to strangers and needs a calm, patient routine. He doesn’t warm up right away, but over time, with steady presence, he’ll start to show his softer side—curling up in your lap and doling out kisses to those he trusts. Yoda has been through failed placements; he bolts when overwhelmed and must be caught by someone he knows. He takes comfort in routine, familiar faces, and a clear sense of security. Before adoption, you’ll need to visit several times to build a bond with him. Only then will Yoda recognize you as his safe space and have a real shot at navigating a new life. Adoption requires an application, background check, and home visit before any move. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
