" Hi my name is Yoshi, I am a dog from a puppy mill in northern Wisconsin. I came to my foster home August 18, 2018. I was really scared. I'm still scared in some circumstances. Like going through a different doorway or gate, climbing different steps. Since being at my foster home, I have come to trust humans but not all and still need more socialization. I stick real close to my foster Mom, I never take my eyes off of her and when she's not there to see, I get anxious, so I'm so relieved when I see her again.

I'm still trying to figure out house training, but my foster mom takes me out frequently, so I don't have accidents in the house, I've only had a couple. She praises me when I potty outside, it's weird but I like it when she praises me. I was netured September 6, 2018 and had my rabies and distemper shot. I will need a Booster in one month 10-06-2018.

I like sleeping in bed with my foster mom and fur pals, but most of all cuddling up to my foster mom. Sometimes I will growl, bark and snap, mainly when I'm dreaming. My foster mom, tells me "no Yoshi" and then talks sweetly to me. I stop then. My foster mom thinks I may have been picked on or it's because I got sick of being bugged by all those females. I'm getting better with a harness and leash but do much better when I'm walking with my fur pals. I have 4 new furry friends (3 foster sisters and 1brother). I learn a lot from them. So it would be nice to have a sister or brother to pal up with. I had my wellness check up and everything is good. My new parents will have to have patience with me, and time to spend with me because I'm still learning how to be a dog. But I am learning.
