“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!
