Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Yaz was previously saved in Miami and named Astrid, and then adopted by a wonderful lady who recently passed away. We have taken Yaz back into the rescue so she is looking for a foster while we figure out her medical issues and make a plan for this sweet girl.
Yaz is a senior and a shelter survivor. She originally came to us with a broken leg but that's all healed up now and she's doing wonderful. She is good with dogs of all shapes and sizes and loves everyone she meets!
Dogos are a wonderful breed but we urge anyone interested to dig in and do a lot of research before
deciding if they are a good fit for your home. They require a lot of attention and training with them
never ends! Boundaries must be enforced and they often need reminders as they push past boundaires
you set! Dogos are loving, kind and gentle but don't mistake that for weakness because they are equally
powerful and intense as well! Everyone in the home must be on board with having a dogo and play a
major role in their daily routines and training. Yes it is work, but the rewards are ten-fold! Lazy homes
don't work for dogos as they need stimulation, exercise, and lots of attention too during their younger
years. Our goal in rescue is to be as transparent as we can about each and every dog plus make sure new
families really understand the needs of a dogo!
