Meet Sequoia, a nine-month-old Malamute/German Shepherd mix weighing 60 pounds.

Sequoia's story hasn't been an easy one. She came to us after being seized by Animal Control along with six other dogs. When she arrived, she had a large gash on her inner thigh that has since healed beautifully, but the emotional healing is still a work in progress.

It's clear Sequoia hasn't had much exposure to the world. Walks on a leash, new people, new places, and everyday experiences are all unfamiliar to her. She's a little flighty and unsure, but underneath that uncertainty is a truly sweet, gentle dog who wants to trust.

Sequoia is friendly and has never been anything but kind-she just doesn't know what to expect yet. She isn't leash trained and will need a patient adopter who understands that building confidence takes time. Every small victory is a big step for her.

With love, consistency, and gentle socialization, we believe Sequoia will continue to blossom into the wonderful companion she's meant to be. If you have a calm home and the patience to let her learn at her own pace, you'll have the privilege of watching this deserving girl discover that the world can be a safe and happy place.

Could you be the one to give Sequoia the fresh start she deserves?

This pet is available for adoption on 7/2/2026 2:03 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
