My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Outlaw, a 3-year-old male Rottie/Pitbull mix.

Outlaw is an impressive 85 pounds. He has an intimidating look but is kinda of just one massive goober. Outlaw was brought to YHS after his owner was taken into custody, sadly no one has come for him so YHS now needs to find him a home that can make him a valued member of their family. Outlaw would do best in a home with no cats but has met other dogs and done well. He just wants to play with them and doesn't always want to take no for an answer, but he was good when told off by the other dog. He loves to play tug-of-war with toys and will even play tug with other dogs.

Outlaw is just a big boy who needs someone who will remind him of his size and manners. Once he knows the rules he tries his best to follow them, walking well on a leash (once he is reminded it isn't a tug of war rope) and doing both "sit" and "lay down" for treats. Outlaw is very food motivated and we always recommend feeding dogs separately from other animals in the house so they don't feel someone is going to steal their food. This big ole' goofball is just looking for someone who wants a large love bug that doesn't know what "personal space" means.

This pet is available for adoption at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.

If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.yakimahumane.org. A Yakima Humane Society staff member will contact you once your questionnaire has been processed. Adopters are welcome to visit the adoption center Monday-Saturday.
A Picture says 1000 words...right? While an animal's picture draws interest, the reality is that as a potential adopter most people would like as much information as possible about a pet. The Yakima Humane Society is an open admission shelter. What does this mean? Over 90% of the pets at the adoption center arrive as strays, no history of behavior or medical care is known. Adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility. Please research carefully and remember that adoption is life saving. Adopt Don't Shop.
