Yoda

Yoda is a special little guy who's going to need the right people to help him get over his past. And yes, his one ear is always up like that! He is also an olympic jumper and fence climber, so a 6 ft wood or vinyl fence is required. He can jump a 4 ft fence with ease and has climbed a 6 ft chain link. It's clear he's been abused, he is reactive to strangers and is always on guard around anyone new. You have to prove to him that he can trust you and all it takes is time and patience. Yoda was found with his brother and sister at an abandoned house. When he came to WARM he was an anxious mess who had to not only protect himself from all these new people, but also protect his brother and sister. After some time of sitting with him, talking to him, letting him smell you and taking treats from you, he slowly began to warm up. Now he is an absolute love to the people he trusts and enjoys sitting in their lap getting and giving kisses. With his past and trust issues, an approved adopter will have to come to the rescue numerous times to gain his trust before he can be brought to their home. Since he is anxious and can be reactive when he's stressed, he needs to know you're his safe space before putting him in a new environment. Yoda is heartworm positive. He will begin his treatment May 16. Once treatment starts, he will be on strict crate rest for 8 weeks. After that it'll be 4 more months of no exercise and playtime. If you are not sure about heartworm and the treatment process, we will give you the full run down if you're interested in adopting Yoda. It's 6 months of inconvenience for him to ensure he lives a full and fun life.
