Meet Murphina - Our Sweet Golden Girl!

Murphina is a 3-year-old Chihuahua mix with a gorgeous golden coat and a big heart. Fun fact: she was originally thought to be a boy named Murphy when animal control picked her up, but it turns out this little lady is all girl!

At only 16 pounds, she's the perfect lap-sized companion. She's a total love bug once she gets comfortable and will happily snuggle up with anyone who gives her a chance. If you've been dreaming of a golden retriever's love but aren't up for the size, Murphina might be the perfect fit!

This pet is available for adoption on 11/22/2025 11:01 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
