Many dogs, particularly those in the Pit Bull breed, often miss the opportunity to meet potential adopters due to their appearances. A poignant example of this is Yogi, a Pittie from a rescue in Florida who has spent over two years waiting for someone to give him a chance.
Despite his sturdy and tough demeanor, Yogi is a sweetheart desperate for love, yet he continues to be overlooked by visitors at the shelter.
Surrendered, Yet Full of Love
Yogi was surrendered to Humane Society Naples in 2022 when his previous owners had to relocate and could no longer care for him. Since then, he’s spent 785 days in the shelter without a single respite or foster home.
From his very first day at the shelter, Yogi has radiated sweetness, yet many don’t recognize that beneath his intimidating exterior lies a gentle soul.
Unfortunately, Yogi often gets overlooked due to his imposing appearance and size, as many pass him by without realizing his gentle nature.
“Many people overlook Yogi due to his rough past and intimidating looks, but he deserves a second chance just like any other dog,” the shelter remarked.
@hsnaples Meet Yogi 💔. Surrendered to us in 2022 because his owners were moving, Yogi has been with us for 785 days without ever experiencing a foster home. Many people overlook him due to his rough past and intimidating look, but he deserves love just as much as any other dog. He needs slow introductions with potential adopters due to his “stranger danger.” While he may require extra patience, once he trusts you, he’s incredibly affectionate. Yogi loves going for walks, playing with his dog friends, and would flourish in a loving home. If you’re ready to meet Yogi, please reach out to us or stop by our Main Shelter! Yogi is waiting for you 💗

Yogi spends his days by the kennel door, watching others go home, hoping to join them someday. He’s watched friends find forever homes while he waits for the right person to come along.
Still Waiting For The Right Person
Despite his reserved nature, Yogi is known for his loyalty and deep affection for those he trusts. According to his caregivers, he is an excellent companion, eagerly waiting for the right family to provide the love and patience he needs.
“Yogi is desperately searching for the family that will give him the love and care he deserves. He forms deep bonds with those he loves,” they said.
Yogi is a true sweetheart who transforms into a delightful companion with just a little time. Beyond his gentle side, he’s an adventurous spirit who enjoys long walks and playful interactions with other dogs.
In addition to his joyful personality, Yogi thrives on adventures and enjoys being outside. He’s not just a loyal companion; he’s also a delightful partner on walks and enjoys the company of other dogs. Yogi remains hopeful that he will soon find his forever home, where he can bring happiness to a family.
