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.
Meet Tuck, a 7-year-old male German Shepherd mix.
Tuck arrived at the adoption center after being picked up by animal control in the city of Sunnyside. When he first arrived at the adoption center he was a little unsure of the action, but as a new arrival and being located in the lobby who could blame the guy. Tuck has since come out of his shell and enjoys getting out of the kennel for some love. He went on a field trip with one of the employees and he did amazing in the car and was great to handle on the leash. Tuck is very treat motivated and does know his commands of "Off" and "Sit". He has met a few dogs at the adoption center and was a bit vocal, so a meet and greet with other animals in the home is recommended prior to adoption. Tuck is considered a large breed but he is only 62 pounds so he makes the perfect family or lap dog for any home.

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.
