Aligning y-axis label with middle of subplot?-CodePudding

I'm working with Matplotlib and have a large number of 1D heatmaps, each with their own label. However, the labels are misaligned with the plots and I cannot figure out to get this to work automatically.

Here's an MWE

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


data = np.random.rand(10, 1000)
dogs = ["woof", "bark", "bowwow"]
fig, axs = plt.subplots(10)
for i in range(10):
    axs[i].scatter(np.linspace(0, 1, 1000), np.linspace(0,1,1000)*0, 2000,
                     c=data[i, :], marker="|", cmap='inferno')
    axs[i].set_frame_on(False)
    axs[i].set_yticklabels([])
    axs[i].set_xticklabels([])
    axs[i].set_xticks([])
    axs[i].set_yticks([])
    axs[i].set_ylabel(dogs[i%3], rotation='horizontal')
plt.show()

I experimented with

    axs[i].yaxis.set_label_coords(x, y)

for various values of x and y, and nothing seems to work. I would prefer to have it align automatically, with the bottom of the text corresponding to the bottom of the individual plot.

Attached is an image showcasing the alignment issue.

After a bit of playing around, I found that

axs[0].set_ylabel("Pseudotime", fontsize=12, rotation='horizontal', ha='right', va='center')

is sufficient for aligning the y-labels.
