Yoshi - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in San Francisco, California

Yoshi is a sweet and clever older puppy who loves to be active just as much as she loves to cuddle on the couch. She is house trained, crate trained, knows several commands and quickly picking up basic house manners (like ringing her bell when she needs to go out!). She's also great with older kids, plays well with other dogs, and does well on car rides.

-> Yoshi is looking for a home ready for the time, patience, and commitment that comes with raising an adolescent dog into adulthood and beyond. Continued socialization and training, daily exercise (she loves fetch and her flirt pole!), and lots of love will be keys to a successful canine citizen. (JH)

She is 35 lbs and we estimate her adult weight to be about 40-45 pounds. (No guarantees.)

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions.

In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
