Lhasa Apso and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Crissy, a one-year-old Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix weighing 15 pounds.

Crissy is a gentle, sweet girl who’s still learning that the world is a safe and loving place. She can be a little shy at first, but with patience, kindness, and a little TLC, she begins to open up and show her soft, affectionate side.

She’s looking for a calm home that will give her the time she needs to build confidence and truly blossom. Once she feels comfortable, Crissy is sure to become a loyal and loving companion who enjoys quiet moments and close bonds.

Crissy will need regular grooming to keep her coat healthy and prevent matting, so her future family should be ready to keep up with her care routine and maybe even turn grooming time into a positive bonding experience.

If you have a gentle heart and a little extra patience, Crissy could be the perfect pup to grow with you and shine in her own time.

This pet is available for adoption on 5/1/2026 3:47 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
