About Yeti

Yeti is a charming small dog ready for a fresh start filled with love! This five-year-old Shih Tzu and Poodle mix is searching for his forever home where he can enjoy life without the discomfort of matting. When he arrived at the shelter, his coat was severely overgrown and matted, limiting his vision and causing him pain. Now, he's eager for a new chapter where daily brushing and regular grooming are part of his life. At approximately 16.5 lbs, this affectionate boy is sure to accompany you on sniffy walks and cozy evenings together. He does well with other dogs, although his experience with cats and children is still a mystery. Ideally, he needs a family dedicated to his care and well-being. Yeti has so much loyalty and love to give. Let’s help him find the joy he deserves! If you're considering adopting Yeti, keep in mind that he may not yet be house trained. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue can't guarantee it, but they are working with him on crate training. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
