Pit Bull Terrier and German Shepherd Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Dustin, an almost three month old Pit/German Shepherd mix weighing 18 pounds.

Dustin came to us through our My Last Litter Program, where we help puppies find loving homes while also spaying their moms to prevent future litters and reduce pet overpopulation. We even have photos of both his mom and dad, giving a little glimpse into where this sweet boy comes from!

Dustin is a bit unsure at first and looks to his people for reassurance, but once he feels safe, he absolutely melts into snuggles. He’s a gentle, loving puppy who just needs a little confidence boost and a family to show him the world isn’t so scary.

Like all puppies, Dustin will need continued training and socialization to help him grow into a well-adjusted adult. Positive experiences with new people, places, and situations will be key in building his confidence, along with consistent training and patience.

If you’re ready to help a sweet, snuggly pup come out of his shell and become the best version of himself, Dustin is ready to meet you.

This pet is available for adoption on 4.11.26 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
