Story
Meet Jewels, a one year old Border Collie/Whippet mix weighing 41 pounds. Jewels is a true gem — sparkling with personality, energy, and brains! This very friendly, outgoing girl greets the world with enthusiasm and a constantly wagging tail. She loves people and isn’t shy about showing it.Smart, active, and incredibly agile, Jewels is always ready for action. She would make an amazing partner for someone interested in agility, advanced training, hiking, or any fun, on-the-go adventure. She’s quick on her feet, eager to learn, and keeps life entertaining with her silly, playful antics that are guaranteed to make you smile.Jewels is wicked smart — the kind of smart that keeps you on your toes! She learned to ring a bell to go outside in just three weeks and would happily continue that routine with her new family. She’s even figured out how to open some doors to get to what she wants. This girl doesn’t just live in the world — she studies it.Jewels was previously adopted but returned because apartment living wasn’t the right fit for her activity level, and she showed a strong desire to chase the resident cat. This is very normal for her breed mix and her natural herding instincts. Because of this, she is looking for a home without cats or small animals. We would especially love to see her placed with someone who has researched her breed mix and understands the mental and physical enrichment she thrives on.With the right outlet for her energy and intelligence, Jewels will absolutely shine. She has a great activity level, loves to learn, and bonds deeply with her people. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic, and brilliant companion who will keep you laughing and moving, Jewels is ready to sparkle by your sideThis pet is available for adoption on 1/2/2026 at 2:13 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.
