My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tux!
Tux is a handsome 5-year-old Pitbull with a big smile and an even bigger heart. This sweet boy was recently owner-surrendered simply because he has a lot of energy, but that just means he’s ready for a home that can keep up with his zest for life!

Tux has lived with two other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine friend who matches his play style. He’s affectionate, loving, and happiest when he’s with his people. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing in the yard, or just enjoying some quality cuddle time after a busy day, Tux is all in.

If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with plenty of love to give, Tux is ready to be your best friend.

This pet is available for adoption on 8/13/2025 at 12:58 PM at the Yakima Humane Society.

Ready to adopt? Great news—our spayed/neutered pets are available to go home the same day! You can visit us in person, give us a call, or apply online—whatever works best for you.
