Online Cat Adoption Application

Yoko was found wandering in the woods. This amazing dog is so loving and amazing we just can't see why she would be in the woods. Yoko would do great in a home with no small children. She is also great on car trips.

Staff Update 3/14:  Yoko is a staff favorite and they say that she loves belly rubs more than anything in the world!!  We've had Yoko out in one of the play groups, and she is having a great time! All of the other dogs in her group are male, because we've found that she doesn't do well with some female dogs. She loves to wrestle. One of her best buddies is Bubba Gump, who is blind, and she kind of acts as his eyes. We think she would be great with other dogs close to her own size.

She has out grown the hyper playful stage and has a nice playful, yet moderate energy level. She knows "sit" and "shake," but she only doss them when she's in the mood for it.  Yoko will make a fabulous companion!!

Like many dogs in the South, Yoko is heartworm positive (extremely light positive) but don't let that stop you from adopting a great dog. We are treating her with monthly heartworm preventative, our preferred method. Many heartworm positive dogs go on to lead long and healthy lives.

PRBJtreats ALL of our dogs with monthly Heartworm preventative. HW+ dogs are treated with the recommended slow method, using monthly HW preventative as it is gentler on the animal’s system than the more invasive, injection method. Most dogs that are Heartworm positive can lead healthy, normal lives if the disease is caught early and treatment began. There are different options to treat HW and new owners may choose to redirect their type of treatment with direction of their vet.All HW+ dogs have a HW slow treatment info sheet in their adoption folder which will be provided to new owners.

***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
