Perfect Role Model
Adopt Yoyo
Boy • 5 years old • Scorpio • Yellow-brown • 11kg • Mixed Breed
My story
Yoyo is a resilient three-legged dog! He was abandoned after being raised by a family for four years. However, since arriving at the PACK Academy for training, we haven't observed any of the issues they mentioned. Medical checks revealed scars of various sizes on both his hind legs and the top of his head, likely from severe past injuries. His slightly crooked jaw leaves a few teeth exposed, making him look like he's always unhappy. Yet, Yoyo's actual behavior is completely different. He always stays calmly by people's feet, happily reaches his head towards the leash to let us take him for walks, and absolutely loves lying on the ground for full-body rubs. Though initially clueless about commands, he mastered them after just a few practice sessions. Our trainer highly praises him: "Yoyo is an absolutely rare and perfect dog!"
Personality
Yoyo possesses the traits of an "INTJ Architect." He is emotionally highly stable and exceptionally tolerant. He is usually quiet and calm, enjoying lazy sunbathing. Though his presence is low, he provides comforting and secure companionship. He is smart and excellent at expressing his needs, usually hinting through actions first and only resorting to barking if continuously ignored. Socially, he is not shy; he interacts politely with other dogs with mutual respect but actually has zero interest in them, even disliking overly enthusiastic ones. Yoyo is food-motivated but slightly picky. He has his own mind, but as long as he isn't spoiled into throwing minor tantrums, he is a perfect companion suitable for any family.
