Yogi Bear

Male · Young · 3 years

Meet Yogi a 3-year old Chow cross who is ready to find a calm, understanding forever home. Yogi would be best suited to an adult home and would prefer to be the only pet in the home, though he could enjoy socialising with dog walking friends out and about. Yogi has a huge personality and is great to handle when it comes to bathing and grooming. He is the perfect kennel guest and is good in every way for the staff on site but has shown some guarding issues in a home environment when he had a high value treat. Due to this, Yogi needs a home that will manage this well, by having a separate area, like a conservatory, spare room or utility room where he can have his treats away from people walking through. He will need an understanding owner who will allow him space and understand that items cannot be taken from him as he feels threatened when someone approached when he has food. At the moment Yogi is still ongoing with his lead training and travels well in the crate in the van. Yogi has not shown much interest with toys whilst in kennels, but he adores going in the paddock off lead for zoomies and does get very excited. Due to his size he will need someone experienced with large breeds and that is able to manage his guarding. Yogi is a truely wonderful boy who we believe will make someone a wonderful pet. He enjoys being groomed and is enjoying meeting new people when out and about on walks.

About Yogi Bear

What life with Yogi Bear looks like

Yogi Bear is a extra-large young adult dog waiting at Oak Tree Animals in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Yogi Bear, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Yogi Bear?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Oak Tree Animals handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Yogi Bear on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Yogi Bear if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Oak Tree Animals will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Yogi Bear already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Yogi Bear isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Oak Tree Animals early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yogi Bear and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
