About Yodi

Yodi is a medium-sized, spayed Australian Cattle Dog mix who came to the rescue with a group of dogs from a tough background—lacking good care, socialization, and hygiene. She’s about a year and a half old and has a gentle heart, but her past has made her wary and deeply shy. Yodi is especially drawn to other dogs and approaches them with gentle kisses, always choosing the submissive route and clearly feeling most relaxed around fellow canines. Her reluctance to leave her kennel speaks to her anxiety; while she can be coaxed outdoors, it’s never easy. Her kennel has become her main safe space, and she stays nervous in new situations. Potty training isn’t part of her background, but she does keep her kennel area clean, which offers a promising sign for future house training. Yodi’s recovery will take time, patience, and a home with a steady, supportive dog companion. She’s not an easy fit for just anyone and really needs someone willing to put in meaningful work to help her trust again. For adopters with experience and compassion, Yodi offers glimpses of a deeply sweet nature that just needs the right encouragement to shine. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
