Meet Ross, aka Yogi Bear! 

 

Yogi is a 3-year-old French Bulldog with 26 pounds of pure sweetness, cuddles, and resilience. Rescued from a shelter after being found as a stray, Yogi waited over a month for someone to come for him — but no one ever did. Because the shelter was overcrowded, he was kept out of public view and sadly became red-listed, meaning his time was running out. Thankfully, he got a second chance.

 

When Yogi arrived in foster care, he was underweight and suffering from severe flea allergies that left his skin irritated and patchy. Since then, he has received veterinary care, including antibiotics, medicated baths, flea prevention, and neutering. His skin is healing beautifully, his fur is growing back, and his soft, gentle personality is beginning to shine.

 

Yogi’s favorite things in life are simple:

• Being close to his humans

• Getting pets and affection

• Taking his daily 20-minute walks

• Relaxing outside in the shade

• Fluffing up his blankets before bed like the little prince he is

 

He may not care much about toys, but he’ll happily chase a ball if you toss one!

 

Yogi is incredibly loving, calm, and easygoing. His energy level is low to moderate, but his affection level is off the charts. He truly wants nothing more than to be near his person and feel safe and loved.

 

It’s clear Yogi did not have an easy past. He appears to have spent much of his life confined and missed out on important socialization. When he first arrived, he crawled instead of walked, struggled with stairs, and was frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. With patience and love, he has already made amazing progress — he now enjoys walks, can navigate stairs, and is becoming more curious and comfortable every day.

 

Yogi will thrive in a patient, understanding home that can continue building his confidence. He would especially love:

• A calm home environment

• Someone home often or working from home

• A confident, friendly dog companion to help teach him “how to dog”

• An adopter willing to continue his socialization and routine

 

He is still working on house training and can be sensitive to sudden movements or loud sounds, but he responds well to gentle redirection and consistency.

 

Yogi has food and flea allergies, so he will need grain-free food, regular flea prevention, and continued skin monitoring. His foster family currently supplements his meals with healthy extras like sweet potato, quinoa, coconut oil, and peanut butter to help keep him healthy and thriving.

 

Most of all, Yogi is looking for the love he has always deserved. Beneath his shy demeanor is a tender, hilarious little soul who just wants to belong.
