About Yogi

Yogi is a 3-year-old husky/shepherd mix with equal parts resilience, loyalty, and headstrong charm. True to his breed mix, Yogi carves out his own space with an independent streak and a fun-loving spirit. He takes time to settle into new settings, but once comfortable, he becomes a great companion. Positive, force-free training works best—he isn’t one to be pushed—but coaching him is rewarding and entertaining. Walks on a leash are a breeze for him and he relishes outdoor exploration, especially if fresh air or snow is involved. Wet grass, though, is another story—he’ll act like it’s lava beneath his feet. Yogi knows all the basic commands and is crate trained. Belly rubs and gentle affection get him purring (well, almost). He’s not a fit for homes with cats or small animals due to his prey drive. Yogi is generally good with most dogs after a proper introduction, but he’s best matched with adult-only homes or ones with older kids given his size and energy. Ready for a hike or road trip, he’s primed for adventure. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
