Fox Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Mustang, a four-year-old Bully/Staffie mix weighing 66 pounds.

Mustang lives up to his name—wild in the best possible way, full of spirit, and absolutely unforgettable. Originally brought in as a stray, he was adopted but returned a couple of months later when his owners needed to move and decided he was too much dog for them. Now he’s back and ready for someone who can truly keep up with him.

This boy is a total tank—low-rider build, muscles for days, and strength to match. Mustang is powerful, playful, and prone to epic zoomies that show off his fun-loving personality. He can get a little mouthy when he’s excited, so he’ll benefit from continued training and an owner who can help channel that energy in positive ways.

The good news? He’s smart and eager to learn. Mustang already knows "sit" and "down," and he’s very treat motivated, making him a great candidate for further training and structure. With consistency and guidance, he’s got all the potential to be an incredible companion.

And let’s not forget that stunning black coat—he’s as handsome as he is bold.

Mustang is looking for an active, committed home that understands his strength, energy, and need for engagement. If you’re ready for a strong, spirited dog who will keep life exciting and reward you with loyalty and fun, Mustang might just be your perfect match.

This pet is available for adoption on 4.21.26 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
