Border Collie and German Shepherd Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Tyler, an eight week old Border Collie/German Shepherd puppy weighing eight pounds.

If you’re looking for a cuddly companion, Tyler is your guy! This sweet boy absolutely loves being held and will happily melt into your arms for all the snuggles you can give. He has a laid-back, go-with-the-flow personality that makes him an easy addition to just about any home.

Tyler enjoys playing with other pups and can definitely join in on the fun, but he’s just as content being carried around or relaxing with his people. He’s the perfect mix of playful and chill—always happy as long as he’s close to those he loves.

Like all puppies, Tyler is still learning the basics. He will need continued guidance with potty training, crate training, and learning good manners. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he’s sure to grow into a well-behaved and loyal companion.

Socialization is an important part of Tyler’s development. Even though he’s easygoing, introducing him to new people, places, sounds, and experiences in a positive way will help build his confidence and ensure he grows into a well-rounded adult dog. Regular interaction with other dogs and environments will set him up for success.

Tyler is in a foster home and not available for meet and greets or to adopt until 4.24.26, however you can place him on hold with a deposit so you are first in line to adopt him once he is ready! To start the process please apply to adopt him online.

Your adoption fee includes: A lovable new companion, spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations + deworming, flea/tick treatment, rabies vaccine (for pets 3-4 months and older), and microchip with nationwide registration.
