About Yogurt

Yogurt is a sweet Bichon Frise looking for a loving home. Rescued from a backyard breeder, she came in with many others and has faced a tough start. Even though she’s about 12 years old, Yogurt maintains a playful spirit. She's still a bit shy and getting used to the world around her, including leash walking and potty training. However, once held, her gentle nature shines through. Yogurt thrives around other dogs, so having a canine companion will help boost her confidence. She requires patience and understanding as she adjusts. If you're ready to invest the time and love to help Yogurt learn to trust again, consider making her part of your family.
