Gary

Meet Gary, a one-year-old Retriever/Pit mix weighing 45 pounds. <br/><br/>Gary is an athletic, enthusiastic dog who’s still figuring out the world around him. He doesn’t seem to have had much socialization, so new situations can sometimes be confusing or overstimulating for him. With that said, Gary truly wants to do well and thrives when someone takes the time to guide him. This is the same with dogs, he just doesn't know what to do with them. At first he is a little defensive and unsure but he settles in fast with reassurance and will likely enjoy their companionship if provided time and patience. However, he would be just as happy as an only dog. <br/><br/>He soaks up attention and enjoys working with his person, responding well to redirection and structure. Gary is the kind of dog who will bond closely with his handler and flourish with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement.<br/><br/>Gary is looking for a dedicated adopter who enjoys training and building a strong relationship. With the right guidance, he has the potential to become an amazing, loyal companion.<br/><br/>This pet is available for adoption on 1/31/2026 at 11:52 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.
