Summer - Dachshund and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Summer, a two-and-a-half-month-old Doxie/Pit mix weighing 7 pounds.

Summer is a sweet little puppy with short legs, a big heart, and an even bigger love for people. She was found on the side of a highway in an overheated tote alongside another dog tied to it. A kind person initially brought them in, and while we were full at the time, we provided resources to help get them safe with other rescues. Sadly, they were later discovered dumped at a park—but Summer hasn’t let her rough start dim her loving spirit.

Despite everything she’s been through, Summer is incredibly friendly and affectionate. She absolutely adores people, gives the most amazing kisses, and believes snuggle time is a full-time job. She’s happiest when she’s close to someone, soaking up attention and returning it with endless sweetness.

Summer is looking for a safe, loving home where she will never have to worry again. In return, she promises to be your constant cuddle buddy, your little shadow, and your daily reminder that love can heal.

If you’re searching for a gentle, affectionate puppy who lives for snuggles, Summer is ready to bring warmth and joy into your life.
