Yote

Meet Yote!<br/><br/>Yote, affectionately known as "Yo-Yo," is an approximately 27-pound dog who is guessed to be an Irish Terrier. His breed is only our best guess, but one thing we know for certain is that Yote needs a very specific kind of home—and we want potential adopters to understand his needs before applying.<br/><br/>Yote came into our program after being attacked by a coyote and suffering significant injuries. The shelter environment was extremely difficult for him, and he was very shut down and fearful.<br/><br/>Since moving into a foster home, Yote has made wonderful progress. His wounds have healed, and he's discovered that being a house dog—especially the part involving the couch—is actually pretty great.<br/><br/>Once he feels safe, Yote is incredibly sweet. He enjoys lounging and cuddling on the couch with his foster mom and is a very friendly, affectionate boy. <br/><br/>However, Yote is still a very timid dog, and adopting him will require patience and realistic expectations.<br/><br/>Yote is particularly fearful of loud noises outdoors. New people, new places and unfamiliar situations can be overwhelming for him. He thrives on consistency, predictable routines and having a quiet, safe space indoors where he can retreat when he feels unsure. He does well in a crate and is generally pretty quiet. <br/><br/>Because of his level of fearfulness, Yote is not a candidate for a home with children. This is not due to aggression—Yote has not shown us aggression. We simply believe an adult-only, quiet and predictable household is the environment in which he is most likely to feel secure and continue making progress.<br/><br/>Yote does well with other dogs, though in his current foster home he's the only dog. Not because of Yote, but that's just the way the cookie crumbled and he's doing great there. A calm canine companion may be perfectly fine for him, but a very rambunctious household would likely be overwhelming.<br/><br/>Potential adopters should also understand that Yote may need significant time to adjust after adoption. He should not be expected to immediately seek affection, confidently explore a new environment or behave like a typical outgoing dog. His progress happens at his own pace, and his adopter will need to be comfortable allowing him that time.<br/><br/>For the right person, those little milestones can be incredibly rewarding. Sitting beside you voluntarily, choosing to cuddle on the couch or becoming comfortable with another part of his routine may seem small—but for Yote, they're big victories.<br/><br/>Yote's ideal home:<br/>• Adult-only home with no children<br/>• Quiet, predictable household<br/>• Patient adopter experienced with or willing to learn about fearful dogs<br/>• Plenty of time to decompress without being pressured<br/>• Safe, comfortable indoor environment<br/>• Consistent routine<br/>• Other dogs are okay, provided they're a good match for his temperament<br/><br/>Yote is approximately 27 pounds, neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations and current on prevention.<br/><br/>We aren't looking for someone who wants to "fix" Yote. We're looking for someone who can meet him where he is, give him consistency and allow his confidence to grow at his own pace.<br/><br/>If that sounds like the kind of relationship you're willing to build, we'd love to hear from you.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt:<br/>https://rubiesandrogues.com/pages/placement-application<br/><br/><br/>Adoption fee $300 (includes vetting through our program) see here for specifics: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16xaqyrjYF/
