Mr. Ace - Shih Tzu and Poodle Dog for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Mr. Ace, a seven-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix weighing 17 pounds.

Mr. Ace is a gentle, easygoing gentleman who's ready to trade shelter life for a cozy home where he can enjoy the simple things in life.

This handsome boy has a calm, well-mannered personality and seems happiest taking life at a slower pace. He's not looking for an action-packed lifestyle—just a comfortable spot to relax, loving people to spend time with, and a peaceful home where he can settle in and enjoy his golden years.

Mr. Ace will need regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and free from painful mats, so his future family should be prepared to keep up with routine brushing and grooming appointments. He also has two lumps that our veterinary team will evaluate before he goes home, so his adopters will have more information about those before finalizing his adoption.

If you're searching for a laid-back companion who is content with quiet days, leisurely strolls, and plenty of affection, Mr. Ace may be the perfect fit. He's ready to leave the shelter behind and start the next chapter of his life with a family who will cherish him.

This pet is available for adoption on 7/9/2026 8:32 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
