Story
Meet Marla, a one and a half year old Lab/Husky mix weighing 61 pounds.Marla is a friendly, happy, and silly young pup who came to the shelter with her sister, Abigail. The girls were unfortunately dumped as puppies and didn’t receive much early guidance, so Marla is looking for a patient adopter who’s excited to help her learn good manners and build confidence.Marla is full of enthusiastic puppy energy and is currently working on the command “off”—she’s just so excited to be around people! Because she’s still learning her manners, we don’t think Marla would be the best fit for a home with young children at this time. With consistency and positive training, she has all the potential to thrive.When she’s unsure, Marla looks to her people for guidance and support, and her eager, people-focused nature should make her a joy to train. Sweet, playful, and always ready to be silly, Marla will do best in a home willing to invest time, patience, and love as she continues to grow into the wonderful dog she’s meant to be.This pet is available for adoption on 12/4/2025 4:01 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.
