Yogurt

My story

Yogurt Here - Best Ears in the Game • Soft Soul • Sorority Barbie With a Healing Heart Hi. It’s me. Yogurt. I know… weird name. Iconic, though. I’m two years old, about 23 pounds, and I have the literal best ears you’ve ever seen. Like… truly. Show-stopping. Legendary, Slap some bows on them and tell me they aren’t… But if you really look into my eyes, you’ll see something deeper than just a pretty face. You’ll see a girl who has felt loss and loneliness. I’m a girl who has been left. A girl who is still learning that humans can be safe and that love can stay. I’m beautiful, but I’m also emotionally healing myself with the help of Freedom Frenchie Rescue and my foster mom. My Story (The Part That Shaped Me) I was found alone in the desert in Palmdale. When the people who found me took me to get scanned, I had a microchip. My people were contacted and they didn’t want me back. Were they really my people? Were they the ones who dumped me? We don’t know. What we do know is that being left changes a dog. It leaves cracks. It leaves questions. It leaves insecurity. Freedom Frenchie Rescue was contacted, and they said yes to me when others didn’t. And now I’m here. Learning. Growing. Trying. My Personality (Soft Heart, Spicy Edges) I am what you might call a sorority Barbie mean girl in recovery. I can be sweet, I can be cuddly, I can be hilarious, and I can also be a bossy. I’m not the kind of dog who instantly wants to be besties with other dogs. I may be able to live with another dog and coexist, but I need a very specific type of dog friend — one who truly does not care that I exist. Low-key. Unbothered. Neutral energy. That will leave me alone. If you want a dog for your dog to be friends with, go to the next profile. When dogs run around playing near me, I sometimes feel the need to insert myself in a negative way, even though I don’t actually want the toy or the game. I just want control of the situation. Like just let me BOSS. It’s something my rescue and foster family are actively working on with me through slow introductions, structure, socializing and training. I am not a lost cause. I am not broken. I am insecure. And insecure dogs need patience, leadership, and consistency. With the right home and the right human, I truly believe I’m going to become an incredible dog. My Ideal Home I would do best as an only dog or with a very neutral, calm dog who could not care less that I exist. Only apply for me if your current pet truly ignores other dogs or if you don’t have pets at all, as we are actively working through some training needs and will continue to update my profile as I progress. Cats are a hard no for me. I’m just not a fan. Kids are a big YES. I love kids and do wonderfully with them. I mean that drop snacks and let me lick their face, plus the cuddle factor is always there! My Good Girl Qualities I take treats very gently and walk amazingly on leash like I’m on a mission. I love car rides, I love walks, I like meeting people, and I get excited when you come home. I love naps on your lap or curled up on my favorite couch pillow. I’m pretty much potty trained. I had a few accidents when I first arrived, but once I settled in, I’ve been doing great. I had a slower emotional transition than most. In the beginning I barely ate, tipped my bowl over, and struggled with change. Now I eat at mealtimes and feel much more stable. Progress, baby. My Medical Stuff I’m medically sound and overall healthy. I do have some minor allergies, and we’re currently managing them through diet instead of relying on daily allergy medication. I’m on a lamb-based diet and doing really well. The paw licking has almost stopped, which is a huge win. Keep my face clean please, I mean I am all white and tear stains are unbecoming and itchy! A Note From Me I am not for everyone. And that’s okay. I am for someone who understands that when trust is built, behavior changes. When trust is built, confidence grows. When trust is built, we both win. I have so much potential. I am going to blossom. I just need someone willing to give me a chance. If you’re looking for a beautiful, complex, funny, cuddly, snack-loving, healing soul who will love you hard once she knows you’re not going anywhere… And I’m ready to try. Yogurt is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, she is being fostered in Glendale, AZ. Her adoption donation fee is $1100.00 and you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org *Please Note: All learning and guidance must continue in their new home. A dog’s behavior can change with a new environment and energy, and every family’s dynamic is different. What works or is allowed in one foster home may not be the same in yours, so consistency, patience, and continued training are key to their success.

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