About Yoshi

Meet Yoshi! This playful one-year-old bully mix weighs around 50 pounds and has a zest for life. He enjoys fetching, running, and training sessions, along with peaceful moments chilling with his favorite humans. Yoshi graduated from puppy training, but he still finds new people and pets a bit intimidating. His early lack of socialization means he can be wary of unfamiliar situations, but he thrives in calm, predictable environments. With his loved ones, he’s content and relaxed, showing his true personality. Yoshi’s journey to confidence is just beginning, and he’s set to join a board-and-train program soon. He’ll need an adopter committed to continuing his training, especially in a quiet adult-only home. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone experienced with dogs, particularly those who need a little extra love and patience. Are you ready to be part of Yoshi’s transformation? You’ll be making a huge difference in his life, helping him unlock his full potential. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
