About Buddy

Meet Buddy, a one and a half-year-old German Shepherd and Husky mix who weighs in at 60 pounds. Buddy is an exuberant and friendly companion, always eager to be around his people. He enjoys attention, happily accepts treats, and knows how to sit. On walks, he's good on a leash, making outings a joy. Buddy can be a bit mouthy when excited, so he'll thrive with continued training to refine his manners. He has a prey drive around small animals, so management is key. That said, he has previously lived harmoniously with both dogs and cats. This playful guy is looking for an active home where he can be part of the family action. If you think Buddy might fit your lifestyle, come meet him! He’s available for adoption starting on 10.16.26 at the Yakima Humane Society. Ready to bring a furry friend home? Great news!
