Yoshi *On Trial in Her New Home*

*YOSHI IS CURRENTLY TRIALLING HER NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Hi there everyone my name is Yoshi! Weird name, I know - but it means "Good Luck" in Japanese (and is also a dragon in Super Mario!). I could use some good luck as I was left at the pound when I was only 9 months old and I wasn't a very well little girl. I was scared of everything and hid in my foster mum's shoe rack for the first week. But after a couple of months of living on a farm with lots of other critters, I am happily bouncing around and looking forward to find someone to love me forever.

The vet thinks I am a Jack Russell x black and tan Chihuahua - whatever that means. I am a very little girl – I only weigh 4kgs - But I am feisty! I’m in foster care with Whippets, a Kelpie pup (who looks like a bigger version of me!) and a HUGE Greyhound who lets me chew his toes. I also help round up the chooks to put them to bed at night. And there is a cat around somewhere but it is bigger than me so I don't take much notice. I sit when there is food around (I LOVE cheese!) and will easily learn new things if you want me to, coz I am a smart young lady. I also love coming inside, and sleep in my own bed on the floor next to my foster mum (my bed comes with me to my new home) and I love having a play outside, perhaps a little sunbake, then come back in to sleep or cuddle (cuddles are FUN!).

Walks are also fun and I run along behind the other dogs and stand under them when it gets too hot. I haven't had much to do with a lead yet, as I never leave my foster parent's side on a walk at the farm - but it wouldn't take long for me to work that one out. My mum says I am a funny little critter - I make her laugh and keep people entertained. I am a bit nervous meeting new big dogs as I am so little (and I had a nasty incident with a big dog once - he thought I was a bunny!) - but inside I think I am BIG, it's just that my body is little. \ Oh - and I also like a ride in the car. And I am a good guard dog - if someone strange comes to the door I bark to scare them! (But I am not a yappy dog otherwise...)

I would love to adopt someone as my forever family. You, perhaps??? \ Love and licks from Yoshi xx
