Meet Tuck, an almost eight year old German Shepherd Mix.
Tuck was picked up as a stray in July of 2023 before being brought to us. We can't believe this mature gentleman has been with us for this long! Tuck is a great size at 66 pounds and is stocky rather than tall so he looks more like a medium sized dog. He walks very well on the leash with minimal pulling and is an all around great boy who enjoys human interaction.
Tuck is all about the treats! He loves anything food related and with eagerly sit for them. We think he is a pretty easy-going guy although he can be dominant with other dogs so if you have another dog in the household a meet and greet should happen prior to adoption. Tuck would be very happy as an only dog and doesn't need canine a companion, so if you are a one-dog household he thinks that sounds great. Tuck is a mellow dude who still enjoys his walks but doesn't have all that puppy energy, we think that is pretty great. He would make a great companion and we hope he finds his home soon.
Tuck went to the SunDome for the March Muttness event and did amazing! He walked with both the staff and the public and loved the attention. Tuck had no issue being petted or approached by the crowd while kenneled and loved getting treats. He watched all the action from his kennel and was a big fan of all the attention.
If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.yakimahumane.org. A Yakima Humane Society staff member will contact you once your questionnaire has been received. 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.
