About Yoshi

Yoshi has the sort of worried look that hints at a rougher start than most. A small terrier mix, he ended up at Animal Rescue of Fresno after his stray hold ran out and no one came for him. That uncertainty still lingers in him—he’s cautious around new people, and his kennel is where he retreats when the world feels too much. But as Yoshi gets to know you, a different side emerges entirely. Within his circle of trust, he softens, becomes affectionate, loyal, and seeks out attention. His lapdog instincts come out, and he’ll happily cozy up on a couch next to someone he loves. Yoshi isn’t just sensitive; he’s also resilient. After coming in, he received crucial dental care—having been missing eleven teeth already, he had to have thirteen more removed. He’s healing well and finally on the mend. Despite everything, Yoshi’s spirit stays gentle. Yoshi would do best in a calm home, ideally with older children who understand how to give him space to settle in and adjust at his own pace. He needs patience and a bit of routine, but once that trust is earned, he’ll be a devoted companion. He does get along with other dogs if you have resident pups. If you’re drawn to underdogs and want to see someone blossom, Yoshi could be your next best friend. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
