My story

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

Meet Leah, an almost six-year-old Shepherd/Retriever mix weighing 74 pounds.

Leah is a sweet, friendly girl who was owner-surrendered to animal control along with another dog. While she may seem a little shy in her kennel, don’t let that fool you — once the door opens, she transforms into a happy, playful, and affectionate companion.

She’s great on leash, well-mannered, and has a chill, easygoing personality that makes her a joy to spend time with. Leah also has unique brindle markings that make her stand out in the best way, and she loves toys and squeakers, adding a fun playful side to her otherwise relaxed demeanor. She came in microchipped as a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix so that might be in there but she is definitely a mix.

Leah is looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to shine and show off her sweet, friendly personality. She’s the perfect mix of playful and chill, ready to become a loyal and delightful part of your family.

This pet is available for adoption on 2.17.26 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
