I can email one also if requested. Home page: Yadi's owners in NE Iowa feel he should have a better home than they can offer. He would do best with someone that has another dog or is home a lot. He is now a Waverly pet Rescue dog. He will stay with them until adopted. He is fully vetted , up to date on shots, tested heartworm negative, and neutered. He is also housetrained. Yadi is a great dog with a lot of personality. We got him from a shelter in NE Iowa almost 2 years ago and he is "about 4 years old" now. He weighs about 35 pounds. He loves to be around people and is always willing to play or cuddle. He needs to go to a home that can give him regular exercise as he has lots of energy! His favorite games are to catch a tossed ball and he especially loves to be chased while he is holding the ball. Yadi needs to go to a home where he either has other dogs to play with, or where someone is home most of the time. He has separation anxiety issues and does well when we are only gone for short periods of time (3-4 hours). He can absolutely never be crated or shut in a bedroom because he panics. We let him roam the kitchen/living room area when we leave. When we are gone longer (during the work day) he will be destructive by chewing/scratching. Sometimes he will nervous-poop but not very often. When we fostered another dog for a few months he did much better with anxiety when we were gone and there was almost none or no destruction. That is why a home with other dogs would be beneficial! He does get along with other dogs although he is not as interested in them as people. We have taken him to the dog park several times and he behaves but he will bark and get angry if other dogs play-fight. I don't think he understands it isn't real-fighting. Yadi is well-behaved and listens pretty well. He is never destructive while we are home. He knows sit, stay, lay down, come, go on, get down, drop it, mine, no, shake, fetch (sort of), and more. He listens to most of those cues right away the first time. He has also been taught to walk nicely, but does about a half-and-half job of actually doing it. He really does like to please and impress us. He is also very athletic and fast. If you have a fenced backyard he will catch rabbits, birds, and chipmunks and loves to spend time in the yard just trying to hunt them out. I doubt he's ever been hunting but he could probably be trained and good at it and I'm certain would love it. He is also trained to catch bugs in the house! I taught him this because of my fear of spiders but he has caught moths, flies, junebugs, centipedes, and more for me and he is proud when he gets them! He is not aggressive towards us at all or food-aggressive towards us but when we fostered the second dog we had to feed them in separate rooms. He snapped at me once when we first got him and I tried to take a toy but I yelled at him and he has never showed any aggression since then. He is such an interesting, quirky, loveable dog and we are extremely sad to be getting rid of him. We want him to go to a place where his owners are not gone so much, or he has other dogs to play with because he just isn't happy being left alone so long with us. 8/6/12 UPDATE: I stayed home on vacation last week and Yadi was absolutely perfect the entire week, even when we left in the evenings to get dinner or play tennis. He was so much more relaxed when he knew that I was home all day and was also much less clingy and also less hyper in general. I just know if he can find a home that has more time for him he can be a truly great dog! Will someone please adopt Yadi and give a forever home? $50.00 adoption fee.
