Yodel is a 1-year-old, 55-pound pittie mix with the tender heart of a dog who loves deeply and tries his very best. He meets the world with soft eyes, a worried little brow, and a tail that can’t decide between shy wags or full-blast joy. One gentle word, and he shuffles close, pressing his chest against your legs and tilting his chin up as if asking, “Am I safe with you?”
In the yard, Yodel bounces between playful bursts and sweet check-ins. He tracks treats with laser focus, leans into every bit of affection, and melts when he knows you’re proud of him. While he’s still learning how to navigate the world—especially around other dogs—his love for people is unmistakable. With humans, he’s all warmth, wiggles, and heart.
Why He’s the Ultimate Sweet Soul 🐾❤️
🐾 Gentle and affectionate: Loves chest rubs, chin scratches, and quiet reassurance
🐾 Eager to learn: Smart, food-motivated, and responsive to guidance
🐾 Playful spirit: Enjoys yard time, zoomies, and soft check-ins between bursts
🐾 Emotional intelligence: Reads people beautifully and leans in when he trusts
🐾 A heart-melter: Those soft eyes and worried brows tell you everything—he wants to belong
What He’s Looking For 🏡
✔️ A patient adopter who will help him build confidence
✔️ A calm home where he can keep learning how to feel safe
✔️ Someone who loves an affectionate Velcro dog
✔️ Best as the only pet while he grows and gains social skills
✔️ A human who sees his potential and is ready to believe in him
Yodel is pure tenderness wrapped in wiggles—a young dog who just needs stability, kindness, and someone to show him he’s worth the world. If you’re ready to love a dog who will devote his entire heart to you, come meet Yodel.
