YODA

My story

Meet Yoda – A Little Dog with a Big Heart Ready to Shine With a name like Yoda, you'd expect wisdom, quiet strength, and a noble soul—and this little 10-pound Chihuahua mix embodies all of that and more. But our sweet Yoda didn't come from a galaxy far, far away—he came from a heartbreaking hoarding situation with over 100 dogs crammed into a chaotic home. There was no peace, no space, and no love. When rescue finally arrived, he was shut down and clinging tightly to another pup (now known as Vader), unsure of the world around him. But everything changed the day Yoda joined a loving foster home through Critter Cavalry Rescue. In just a short time, he began to soften. No longer hiding away or trembling in fear, Yoda now wags his tail when approached and welcomes gentle affection—especially from the 3-year-old human in his foster home, with whom he’s built a quiet bond. He’s proven that shy dogs often connect with children first, sensing their openness and kindness. Yoda is about 1-2 years old and fully vetted, neutered, crate trained, and housebroken. He’s quiet and gentle, gets along beautifully with the other dogs and cats in his foster home, and has already shown glimpses of the playful, loving companion he’s meant to be. This little guy is still on a journey of healing, but he’s come so far in such a short time—and with the love of a patient, understanding forever home, Yoda’s transformation will be nothing short of magical. He doesn't need perfection—just kindness, consistency, and the chance to finally be a dog. Open your heart and give this brave soul the future he’s always deserved. Because love heals, and Yoda is ready to return that love tenfold.
