Hello
my name is Yuko. My rescue family will let you know about me.
But, I am a good girl who loves kids and other dogs. I am
submissive and ready for a new home.
My foster mom’s story: On Thursday we notice a dog hanging out
and looking very tired, cold and hungry laying behind our back
fence. We had to go to softball practice so we left her there.
When we returned from practice she was still there. My son went
over to her and she was very timid and extremely hand shy but
she came right to him. When we tried to put her on a leash she
just laid down and was very submissive.
We brought her home and fed and water her. We found her to be
very sweet. We have three big dogs, a shar pei, a pit mix and a
Great Dane, they are all very very spoiled so I think that Yuko
was very over whelmed with how much attention they get.
That night we let her sleep with my daughter away from the other
dogs, she was very tired and just slept and slept. The next day
we took her the vet who scanned her for a micro chip.
Unfortunately there was not one.
After about an hour it was like they (the other dogs) didn’t
even care that she was there! Since Thursday we have
successfully taught her to use the doggy door. She does not get
on the sofa (that we know of). She plays very well with our
Great Dane! She sleeps with my daughter every night and does not
move an inch away from her!
She can catch tennis balls in the air, sit, stay and she loves
doggie cookies! She is very sweet but it is very clear that she
has not been treated the best as she can shy away with a quick
motion. She also is very scared to be “put “outside the door so
we never force her out side. Now that she knows how to use the
doggie door this is not an issue.
She goes to the submissive back position a lot so we ignore this
behavior when she does this and it seems to be getting better.
She never really barks and when she does she is not very loud.
We have a cat but either she has not figured it out yet or she
just doesn’t care.
Yuko comes out of her shell a little bit every day but she will
need lots of love and she has so much to give!
