Story
Yoshi is a very sweet laid back guy! He has lived the majority of his life on the streets fending for himself. He can be very shy especially if he gets away from his person, making him very difficult to catch if he gets lose. Yoshi will require a harness to be worn verses a collar as he can escape a collar. He does have some hair loss on his back from chronic flea infestation that is healing really well. His hair and skin will improve over time with good hygiene and care. This boy deserves nothing but the best and a safe warm comfy bed inside to live out the rest of his life.

Story
Drifter showed up on our county road and was very skiddish, we’ve worked with him and he’s gotten better but is still skiddish around new people or when he can tell you’re upset in any way shape or form. Loves to play with toys, his favorite toy at our home is a rubber spiked ball, will throw it himself and run after to get it if we don’t get it to throw for him, quick enough. Very kind and sweet but doesn’t seem to care for our larger male dog (gets along great with our chihuahua mix and female lab)
