Yosemite Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix Lenoir, NC

Yosemite is one of our longest foster residents. She's excited to meet you and begin her new life with her forever family! Her adoption fee has been subsidized by a caring donor, so is reduced to $100.

Yosemite will be 2 years old in November 2023 and weighs about 45 lb.

Yosemite ("Yoshi") is house-trained when kept on a regular schedule. She's comfy in a crate and will need a 42" as an adult so she can sprawl. She likes car rides and will load up easily once she's confident of her handler.

Yoshi is leash savvy, but will pull when excited. She greets other dogs politely and is tolerant of adults and puppies.

Have a creek? Yoshi will keep a check on the water levels and let you know its quality... When she's done splashing around, scaring the fish!

**********

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC. Available animals can be seen most Saturdays at Tractor Supply in Lenoir from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete.
