Yogi

My story

ABOUT YOGI Looking for a smiley man? Come meet Yogi, he loves to show off his pearly whites - in the cutest way! Yogi is a 1-year-old mix breed with such a goofy, energetic personality. He came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they no longer had space for him. He quickly rose to fame at HAP for his big smile whenever he greets a new friend. Yogi loves being with people and is a complete lover boy. He can get a little stressed in the kennel, but thrives outside of the shelter or in a home environment! He has participated in both our Doggy Day Out and Foster programs, where all of our volunteers love him. Here is what they had to say about him: "Yogi is the sweetest boy! He will do anything for a tasty treat, such as blueberries or freeze dried treats, but to Yogi, anything is food. As he is young, he is super high energy. He just wants to run and play, especially with stuffed toys that have squeakers inside. As a boy who loves his stuffies, he also likes to shred them sometimes. Despite all of his energy, Yogi will settle for nighttime. Around 10 pm, he will fall asleep, as long as he is near his person!" - Yogi's foster "I got to take out Yogi today! What a cuddle bug, he has endless love to give. If you meet him, get ready for SO MANY KISSES! We took a long walk and then a little rest at my apartment. He did awesome with other people and he gets very excitable when passing other dogs. He found some socks at my apartment and started tossing them in the air and running after them, adorable! Yogi gets very mouthy when he thinks it’s playtime. These are very playful behaviors and he’s easily redirectable, but probably would need some more training before going to a home with young kids. He could also use some training to reduce his jumping if that’s a concern for his future family. Despite these playful puppy behaviors, Yogi is an absolute gem! I would definitely adopt him if I could!" - Julia If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Yogi, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
