Labrador Retriever and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Lavender, a one-and-a-half-year-old Lab/Terrier mix weighing around 30 pounds.

Lavender is a sweet, happy girl with the perfect medium-sized build and an easy personality to love. She enjoys the simple things in life, especially rolling around in the grass and soaking up the outdoors with a big smile on her face.

Lavender has been wonderful on leash and is an easy companion to take along for walks and adventures. She’s affectionate, well-mannered, and has already proven herself to be a very good girl. As a true mixed breed, Lavender is one-of-a-kind and full of charm and personality.

If you’re looking for a friendly, fun-loving companion who will happily join you for walks and cuddle time afterward, Lavender may be the perfect match.
