Meet Venom, a four year old German Shepherd mix weighing over 70 pounds.

Venom is a sweet boy who likes to press up against his people and leans into them for reassurance. He was not a fan of looking at the camera for his photoshoot, pretty sure it was a soul-sucking machine. He is working on his leash training and likes to follow people around but was unsure about it at first like he had never experienced it before. His finder said he was good with their dogs and just needs some confidence.

This pet is available for adoption on 5/1/2025 at 1:57 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.

Did you know YHS lets local community members FOSTER TO ADOPT?
That's where you and the pet make sure you're a good fit for one another by having a fun sleepover prior to finalizing your adoption. It's a win-win for everyone! Just ask our front desk staff about how it works.
