Meet Yoko! An 8 year old Alaskan mix who was rescued from the dog sledding industry in late March.
Yoko is not just incredibly smart but also affectionate, loving nothing more than leaning into you for some cuddles. He's a true companion, happiest when he's with his people, ready to join in on hours-long adventures or simply curl up at your feet for a relaxing day indoors. Yoko is a mature and gentle companion. He likes long walks, mealtimes, and naps. He enjoys being outdoors - you can see his smile lighting up his face and tail going up!
Yoko has recently been enjoying summer vacations with his family, happily enjoying dog friendly areas around provincial parks, conservation areas, hiking trails, pet-friendly hotels, cafes, and even guided ghost tours! He's been a great companion, with his foster family saying he surprised them with his easy going attitude and adventurous spirit while out and about!
He is wonderful on walks. He pulls towards small dogs and small animals like rabbits (not squirrels, interestingly) but nothing that can’t be managed. On his recent vacation he was noted as being completely calm around other dogs. Yoko has been to the beach, multiple retail settings such as Canadian Tire and Home Depot, and been a dream!
Yoko, like many of the sleddies rescued in March, has shown a bit of a fear around men, in that he will sometimes hide or retreat, but once he gets to know somebody, he's good to go! He likes women, and he would be fine with children too. He is not one to play with balls or toys, but he does get the zoomies sometimes, and we love it when that happens! Yoko has been calm around cats but hasn’t come in direct contact with them, so a slow introduction is always best.
Yoko is eagerly waiting to become someone's new best friend!
Yoko is neutered, microchipped and up to date with vaccines.
