Boxer and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Jason, a four-and-a-half-month-old Boxer/Pit mix weighing around 22 pounds.

Jason is a bright-eyed, curious little guy who is everything you’d hope for in a young puppy. He’s sweet, friendly, and full of that classic puppy charm that makes every moment with him both entertaining and heartwarming.

Jason is naturally curious about the world around him. Everything is new, exciting, and worth investigating — whether it’s toys, people, or new smells, he’s eager to explore it all. He’s also very social and enjoys attention, happily soaking up affection and bouncing between moments of play and cuddle time.

Like most puppies, Jason is still learning the basics of life. He will need continued training, structure, and patience as he grows into his best adult self. That includes potty training, leash skills, and learning household manners — all of which will be easier with his friendly, food-motivated personality and desire to engage with people.

Jason is the definition of a typical puppy: playful, cute, a little goofy, and full of potential. He’s looking for a home ready to guide him through his puppy stage and enjoy all the fun (and occasional chaos) that comes with it. In return, he’ll grow into a loyal, loving companion who brings joy to every day.

This pet is available for adoption on 5/10/2026 2:28 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
