Meet Yoko Newhaven – The Ultimate Cuddle Companion!
If you’ve ever dreamed of having a big, affectionate snuggle buddy, meet Yoko – the playful, loving, and utterly devoted American Bulldog,who turned 3 in September.
This gorgeous girl doesn’t just enjoy cuddles – she lives for them. Yoko will happily nestle into you, climb onto your lap (or try her best to fit), and soak up as much affection as possible. She’s the kind of dog who greets you with a wagging tail and hopeful eyes, ready for her next belly rub or snuggle session.
What Makes Yoko Special?
✅ Big on love: Yoko is a true lap dog at heart, always looking for affection.
✅ Well-mannered: She’s easy to guide and respects boundaries (even if she sometimes tries to sneak onto the couch).
✅ House-trained: No accidents here – she knows the drill.
✅ Adventurous spirit: She’s just starting to come out of her shell and enjoy off-leash playdates.
The Ideal Home for Yoko
Yoko would thrive in a home where she can continue building confidence and getting all the love she craves. She needs a family who will enjoy her goofy, affectionate personality and help her feel secure in new situations.
Other Dogs? She’s been going on walks with other pups and is learning to socialise, but she hasn’t lived with a dog in foster care.
Cats? Not tested yet.
Kids? Likely fine with older children who respect her space.
Training? She knows basic commands and responds well to guidance, but she’s still working on leash manners (she’s strong but settles into a loose lead at times).
Car Rides & Adventures
Yoko is still getting used to car travel and can be a bit anxious, but with patience, she’ll learn that car rides lead to fun new experiences!
A Few Fun Quirks
She adores her teddy bear and carries it around like a prized possession.
She will test the waters to see if she can sneak onto the bed or couch when no one’s looking.
She loves being as close as possible – if you’re looking for personal space, Yoko may have other plans!
If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate, and playful companion who will shower you with love and keep your lap warm, Yoko is your girl. Could you be the perfect home for this big-hearted beauty?

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped, wormed and flea treated. All necessary vet work such as dentals, surgery, eye treatment is also carried out. We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
