Standard Poodle and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Max, a three-year-old Poodle mix weighing 30 pounds.

Max is a happy, bouncy boy with a fun-loving personality and a heart full of joy! This great medium-sized pup likely has some Poodle in him—and maybe even a bit of Schnauzer—giving him that adorable, scruffy look that turns heads wherever he goes.

Max is incredibly friendly and loves meeting new people. He already knows "sit" and is very treat motivated, which makes him a great candidate for continued training—he’s eager to learn and happy to please. He’s also done well with other dogs he’s met and rides nicely in the car, making him a fantastic companion for outings and adventures.

With his playful energy, Max would thrive in a home that can keep up with his zest for life and give him plenty of opportunities to burn off that happy bounce. And with his fluffy coat, he’ll need regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.

If you’re looking for a cheerful, affectionate pup who’s ready to be your sidekick in both playtime and everyday life, Max might be the perfect fit.

This pet is available for adoption on 4/17/2026 at 8:44 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
