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 was 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 make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

For adult dogs, our adoption fee covers a standard canine vaccine, a rabies vaccine, and deworming if recommended by our vet. Adult dogs will also have current heartworm test. For puppies over the age of 14 weeks, our adoption fee covers the first 3 puppy vaccines. If the puppy is still in our care at 16 weeks, we will also provide the rabies vaccine.

A vet reference is required only if you are adopting an intact dog over 6 months of age (or the age our attending veterinarian recommends for spay/neuter) to ensure future altering of the dog. A refundable spay/neuter deposit is required for intact dogs/puppies.
