Well, hey there! The name’s Koda, and I’m ready to steal your heart! I may have come from a farm, but I’m absolutely loving the indoor life! Soft beds, belly rubs, and a whole house of people to shower me with love—what more could a dog ask for? I’m a total people pup. I can’t get enough of those chin scratches and back rubs, and I’ll always be by your side for some good ol’ attention!

Now, I’ll admit, I’m a little shy when I first meet new people, but don’t worry—I warm up quickly and soon enough, you’ll be getting all the love I have to offer! And let me tell you, I’m not just any pup—I’ve got a personality that’ll keep you laughing! I’m a little goofy, with a toothy grin that’ll melt your heart every time. I’ll flash my big, happy smile when I’m excited, and trust me, it happens a lot. I just can’t contain my joy when I see my favorite people! My quirky nature means I might do a little happy dance or wag my tail so hard it looks like I’m trying to take off—if there’s fun to be had, I’m all in.

My creamy white fur adds a little extra sweetness to my charm. It’s as soft as a cloud, and I’m sure it’ll make you want to cuddle me even more!

I’m doing great on my walks with the volunteers, and I dream of a big backyard to call my own. A fenced-in yard would be perfect for me to explore and stretch my legs at my own pace. While I’m adjusting to all the indoor comforts, I’ll need just a little more help with my housetraining, but I’m a quick learner and ready to impress!

I’d love to be the only dog in a home with older kids who can handle my affectionate nature. I’m looking for a family ready for a loveable, playful, and loyal companion who’s eager to be the center of attention. If you’ve got room for a goofy, toothy-smiling, lovable guy like me, Koda-n’t you see? We’re meant to be!

Hey there, future family! My name’s Charlie, and I’m a two-year-old Golden Retriever with a heart full of love and paws full of zoomies! I’ve lived in a home before, so I know all about the good life—belly rubs, comfy couches, and tasty treats (yum!). But now, I’m on the lookout for my forever family, and I just know we’re going to have so much fun together!

I’m still young and learning, so sometimes I get a little too excited—like when I see my favorite humans and can’t help but jump up to say hi (I just love you so much!). I also have this thing about paper… let’s just say, if it’s within my reach, I might try to do some shredding. Who needs a paper shredder when you have me, right?

I have lots of energy, so I’d love a home where we can play, go for walks, and maybe even try something fun like fetch or agility! I’ve met other dogs and had a great time, but I’d also be totally happy being your one-and-only. Oh, and because I can be a little bouncy and playful with my mouth, I’d do best in a home with older kids who can handle my goofy energy.

The most important thing? I love people. Like, really, really love them. If you’re home a lot, we’re going to be the best of friends—I’ll be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your very own personal happiness machine.

So, what do you say? Do you have room in your heart (and your schedule) for an energetic, lovable goofball like me? Let’s start our adventure together!

Hi there… I’m Gracie. I’m a 7-year-old Goldendoodle, and for most of my life, I didn’t know what it meant to be loved, to be safe, or to just be a dog. I came from a place where I was only seen for what I could produce, not for who I am. When I arrived at Yankee, I was in rough shape—my body was tired, my spirit was timid, and the world felt overwhelming. But thanks to the kind people here, I’m getting the care I’ve always needed, and for the first time, I feel a little spark of hope.

I’m still learning that gentle hands mean kindness, that soft beds are meant for me, and that there’s a whole world beyond the only life I’ve ever known. I’m nervous and shy, but can you blame me? Everything is new—sounds, sights, love. I want to believe in it all, I really do. I just need time.

I dream of a quiet home with patient hearts who will let me come out of my shell at my own pace. A fenced-in yard would help me feel safe as I start to explore this big, new world. And if there’s another dog in my future home? That would be the best. I’ve never really known how to “dog” properly, but I’d love to learn from a gentle, confident friend who can show me that life isn’t so scary after all.

I know I may not be the kind of dog who runs into your arms on day one. But if you give me your heart, I promise I will try my very best to give you mine. I just need someone to believe in me. Could that be you?

“Attention! Stop and give me 20 treats!” Chief here to whip you into shape for all the cuddles, snuggles and pets! Oh, not to mention the gentlest game of tug or an endless round of fetch (my favorite).

I’m an older southern gentleman, a Georgia peach as they say, that had a rough time before making my way to Yankee. My previous home had a little one that just wasn’t my cup of sweet tea so I was surrendered to a shelter and discovered by a friend of YGRR who knew I would have my best chance there! I quickly won the hearts of the staff here with my never-ending prairie dog impersonations. Some of the tricks I’m best at are sit, paw, down, and of course, prairie dog! I also know “get your ball” and “where’s your ducky.”

A little more about me. I love to be brushed, have not met a snack that I don’t like, hate being left alone for long periods of time, and I bond quickly to my people. I’m very protective of my space and my favorite people so I’ll always keep you safe. You’ll never be lonely with me around! As much as I love playing non-stop fetch and earning treats with my cuteness, I don’t mind a nap on the couch if that’s your speed.

I’d do best in a home without children, other pets, or a lot of foot traffic. A quiet life with my people is all I need. I’m tolerant of other doggos outside of my space but I’d much rather be your only companion. So, if you’re ready for a loyal retired companion, I’m the guy for you!

Hi there! The adoption team and animal care associates are getting to know me! They’ll have awesome things to say about me soon!

Get ready to flap your wings out of excitement for this handsome man, Bug!

Hi, I’m Bug, it’s very nice to meet you all. Some of my favorite staff at Yankee like to call me Buggy, Bugaboo, but you can just call me plain Bug. That is until my forever family comes up with new nicknames for me.

Now, I may be 10 years old, but I am the best old man you are ever going to meet. I still enjoy playing with toys and going on walks. Walk is one of my favorite words, and I get so excited to sniff bushes, and pee on them!

Honestly, I am looking for a nice retirement home, where I get all the love and attention from my adult family members. A quiet home with people who love to give belly rubs would be perfect for me.

Oh, and one more thing—I love my spa days and getting pampered by Yankee! If you’re looking for a fellow active old man who also enjoys the occasional day of relaxation, we might just be the perfect match.

I am very excited to hear who is interested and would love to have a great life together.

Ring all the bells for Miss Elle Belle, better known as Ellie.

Hi, I’m Ellie but I have many nicknames, my favorite is Elle, it makes me feel like the beautiful girl I truly am! I am one of the smartest girls here at Yankee, I can even dance and spin for treats. I have become a staff favorite and enjoy time sitting on peoples laps while they are trying to work. I love snuggles and spending time with staff.

I do need to be honest here, before I was saved by Yankee I didn’t have the best past, which has led to some issues with sharing my resources. I feel the need to protect things that I deem special or important. This means I require a very understanding home who is willing to work with me, be patient, and provide a safe environment. The best environment for me would be one with no kids, and a fenced in back yard for me to play with my family members. I would do best as the only dog, which will give me time to relax and get to know and love my new family.

So if you’re ready, let’s go dancing through life together, and learn how we can best understand and love each other! I’m looking forward to meeting my forever home!

Hold onto your leashes—I’m Howie, and I’m here to steal your heart! I may have traveled all the way from sunny California, but I’m ready to plant my paws somewhere new—and I hope it’s with you! I’m one year old, which means I’m still a pup at heart, full of fun, energy, and goofy antics. Speaking of things that never quite make it all the way up… have you seen my ears? One stands tall like I’m always listening, and the other? Well, let’s just say it likes to march to the beat of its own drum.

I’m a dog-friendly dude who would love to have a playful pup sibling to wrestle and zoom around with. If you’ve got a furry friend who enjoys a good game of chase, I’m your guy! I’d also do best with older, dog-savvy kids who can keep up with my enthusiasm and appreciate my puppy playfulness.

What I’m really looking for is a home that can give me lots of enrichment, attention, and fun adventures. Puzzle toys? Yes, please! Sniffy walks? Sign me up! Training games? I’m all ears (well, one ear is always up for it). I’m smart and eager to learn, and with the right guidance, I’ll be the best sidekick you could ask for.

So, what do you say? Ready to bring home your very own California dream dog?
