Cardigan Welsh Corgi and German Shepherd Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Marcus, a one-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd/Corgi mix weighing 41 pounds.

Marcus is a fun-loving, goofy guy who’s ready to bring some joy into your life! He was found as a stray about a week ago, and the kind people who took him in reported that he was very friendly and got along well with their dogs—always a great sign.

This low-rider pup is full of personality. He’s silly, social, and absolutely loves being around people. Whether he’s making you laugh with his antics or leaning in for attention, Marcus is happiest when he’s part of the action.

He’s still working on leash training, but with his outgoing attitude and eagerness to engage, we’re confident he’ll pick it up quickly. Marcus is the kind of dog who just wants to be included and loved—and he gives that love right back.

If you’re looking for a cheerful, friendly companion who will keep you smiling, Marcus might be your perfect match!
