Douglas

Meet Douglas

Meet Douglas, an 8-month-old male German Shepherd mix.

Douglas is basically a large 58 pound puppy. He has a lot of energy but needs an adopter give him an outlet and help him focus on some basic training. Douglas loves to get attention and will bond well with some socialization.

Please do your breed research before applying to adopt Douglas. German Shepherds and GSD mixes are a special breed of dog with special requirements. These dogs were bred to have a job, and without the right activity level/purpose they won't flourish which can lead to issues down the road. These dogs are incredibly smart and need to be challenged both physically and mentally to really be happy.

The German Shepherd is known to be vocal when excited and can be a bit mouthy at times, proper training is key in helping your German Shepherd adjust to their new life. German Shepherds are a fun, athletic breed that many have fallen in love with over the years, but please keep their breed needs in mind when considering adding one to your household.

This pet is available for adoption at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center.

Adopters are welcome to visit the adoption center Monday-Saturday.

A Picture says 1000 words...right? While an animal's picture draws interest, the reality is that as a potential adopter most people would like as much information as possible about a pet. The Yakima Humane Society is an open admission shelter. What does this mean? Over 90% of the pets at the adoption center arrive as strays, no history of behavior or medical care is known. Adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility. Please research carefully and remember that adoption is life saving. Adopt Don't Shop.
