Meet Tyra Banks, a four year old Malamute/Great Dane mix weighing 80 pounds.

Tyra Banks is truly a sight to behold - with some of the longest legs we've ever seen on a dog! She's so tall and elegant that we suspect she may have some Great Dane in her mix. However she could just be a very tall Malamute mix. You really have to see her in person to believe just how incredibly statuesque this girl is. She's a total head-turner and will stand out wherever she goes!

Beyond her impressive height, Tyra is a friendly and treat-motivated sweetheart. She's happy to show off her manners and will gladly sit for a treat. She's at that wonderful age where she's past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of years of love, adventure, and companionship ahead of her.

Tyra combines beauty, brains, and charm into one unforgettable package. If you're looking for a unique, lovable companion who will turn heads and steal hearts, Tyra Banks is ready to meet you.

This pet is available for adoption on 3/16/2026 at 5:25 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
