My story

**This is a courtesy post. Pikachu is NOT a YCSPCA dog and all adoption inquiries will be sent to his caretaker.** Pikachu, I choose you! Pikachu is a 7-year-old handsome hunk of love looking for his fur-ever home. He is your typical house hippo who loves to chill and go for leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. He is obsessed with tug of war and cuddling on the couch with his foster mom. Pikachu is fully grown and weighs about 60lbs. Pikachu was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Southern California after he was placed on the euthanasia list. He found himself at the shelter after his previous owner was arrested and no one was able to take over his care. He previously lived with a small dog, who was adopted from the shelter. Pikachu is a quiet and gentle soul who is looking for a family that enjoys pittie cuddles and slobbery kisses. He is the perfect mix of independent and social and enjoys attention, but also is happy to keep to himself when you are busy. He is confident and curious and enjoys venturing out into the world to check out all the smells. Like the character, Pikachu, he’ll basically do nothing until you want him to do something and then he is so game!  Pikachu has done well living with another large dog and has been very respectful of her setting boundaries with him. He could do well living with another chill dog, or as an only dog. Pikachu has never been around cats, so his foster mom isn't sure how he would do living with them. Pikachu seems like he could do well living with respectful kids 10 years and older. Pikachu is house and mostly crate-trained. He is a very food-motivated boy and has been doing great learning his basic manners. He has done well being left alone in his crate for short periods and overnight. Pikachu is a sweet and loving boy and could be a great first dog for someone looking for an easygoing companion. If he sounds like he might be the boy for you, email us at dogs@yolospca.org! Pikachu is neutered, up-to-date with his vaccinations, and up-to-date with his monthly preventatives. **This is a courtesy post.
