**If you’d like to meet Yoda, please reach out to Freedom Bridge Animal Rescue, NC, and they will schedule a meet and greet.**

>>Foster needed OR better yet, an adopter to give this young boy a forever home!!

Yoda is a 2 year old German Shepard mix - he is potty, obedience and crate trained, and smart as a whip! He’s loves to please people and loves belly rubs just as much. While he loves to chase his football in the back yard and do his zoomies a couple times a day, this boy is pretty much a laid back couch potato that is happy chewing a bone most of the time. He does enjoy occasional walks, but is still learning to handle his excitement around other dogs, as he was not socialized at an early age (he will likely have to be an only dog or very slowly introduced). He has been working hard on his training and Yoda LOVES his hoomans and does great even with the little ones!! He is happiest staying at home, either hanging with his peeps, potatoing on the couch, playing in his yard or just getting belly rubs and treats. Yoda would thrive with a person or family that will help him continue to be his best self with patience and love. He’s the most loyal, loving, affectionate dog!
