About Yogi

Meet Yogi! Yogi is an 11-year-old long-haired Chihuahua, a tiny gentleman with a heart full of love to give. Though he may be small, weighing just 45 pounds, he deserves a warm and understanding home. Yogi can be shy and fearful when meeting new people, making a patient adopter essential. A calm household without young children would be ideal, especially for an older individual or couple looking for a gentle companion. Once he feels safe, Yogi transforms into an incredibly affectionate and devoted friend. He loves to be held and cuddled, often following his person from room to room like a little shadow. He gets along well with both dogs and cats, peacefully coexisting with other animals in his foster home. Yogi is crate-trained and sleeps quietly at night, though he'd prefer snuggling beside his favorite person. To help him settle during his adjustment period, he sometimes wears a belly band indoors. With patience, he'll thrive and show his loyalty and love in return. Yogi isn't seeking a busy life filled with adventures. Instead, he longs for a soft bed, a gentle touch, and a patient person willing to give him the time to feel safe.
