Pointer and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Tom, a three-and-a-half-month-old Pointer/Border Collie mix weighing 21 pounds.

Meet Tom — a sweet little puppy who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. Tom came in as a stray alongside his buddy Jerry, and while he can be a little unsure at first, his gentle personality quickly shines through once he feels comfortable.

Tom is looking for a patient home that can give him the time, love, and TLC he needs to build confidence and settle into puppy life. With kindness and reassurance, he’s sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

If you’re looking for a soft-hearted pup to grow with and give a fresh start to, Tom is ready to meet you.
