Yogi

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 12 years

Favourite Yogi, if you could offer him the home he is longing for! Yogi is a super-sweet 11-year-old crossbreed who is looking for his forever home! Affectionately nicknamed “Yogi Bear,” he is a gentle, friendly boy with the loveliest nature and simply adores being around his people. Yogi enjoys taking life at his own pace. On walks, he loves having a good sniff and exploring all the interesting smells along the way. And when it comes to food, Yogi is a true foodie! Breakfast and dinner are definitely highlights of his day. Despite being a senior gentleman, Yogi still enjoys his daily walks before happily settling down for a well-earned snooze — and, of course, a little snoring! He would love a home with a garden of his own, where he can enjoy some sunshine and relax on the days when a walk feels like just a little too much. Yogi could share his home with children of lower primary school age, but he would need to be the only pet in the household. If you’re looking for a loving, easy-going companion who would be happiest enjoying the quieter things in life, Yogi could be the perfect boy for you. AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

About Yogi

What life with Yogi looks like

Yogi is a senior staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust West Calder in West Calder.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Yogi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust West Calder handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Yogi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Yogi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust West Calder 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 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 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 Dogs Trust West Calder early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yogi 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.
