German Shepherd Dog and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Twix, a ten-month-old German Shepherd/Lab mix weighing 75 pounds.

Twix is equal parts sweet and silly, with a personality that’s guaranteed to make you smile. In new situations, he’s got the most adorable "army crawl" as he makes his way toward you—like he’s a little unsure but just can’t resist getting close. It’s endearing, it’s hilarious, and it perfectly sums up this lovable goober.

Once he warms up, Twix is all about being your buddy. He’s incredibly friendly, always wanting to be right by your side, whether that’s for playtime or just hanging out. He’s got a dorky charm and a carefree attitude—honestly, there might not be a single thought behind those eyes, just pure love and good vibes.

Twix is playful, affectionate, and happiest when he’s with his people. He’s the kind of dog who will follow you around, keep you company, and make even the most ordinary days feel a little more fun.

If you’re looking for a sweet, silly companion who just wants to be close and share life with you, Twix is ready to crawl right into your heart.
