Meet Wilbur, a three year old Mini Poodle/Schnauzer mix weighing 15 pounds.
Wilbur came to us as a stray and is still a little unsure of the world around him. This sweet boy is looking for a patient, understanding home that can give him the time and TLC he needs to feel safe and confident.
He may be shy at first, but if you go slow and give him space to adjust, Wilbur will begin to open up and show his gentle side. With kindness and consistency, he has so much potential to blossom into a loving companion.
Wilbur will also need regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and free from matting, so a home prepared for that commitment will help him feel his best.
If you have a soft spot for shy dogs and the heart to help one grow, Wilbur is ready to meet you.
This pet is available for adoption on 4/11/2026 at 10:30 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
