Meet Paul, a two year old Staffie/Lab mix weighing 44 pounds.

Paul's story started with a rough chapter-he was found abandoned at a park and arrived with us feeling unsure and scared. Thankfully, those days are behind him. Once Paul realized he was safe, his personality began to shine, and he has blossomed into a happy, outgoing, and incredibly fun dog.

Paul loves to play and go for walks, and his energy has a way of lighting up the room. He may come bursting out of his kennel ready to take on the world, but give this boy a good walk or run and you'll see his softer side emerge. Once he's had a chance to burn off some energy, Paul is perfectly content to settle down and become a loving couch potato.

He knows "sit," is very treat motivated, and would likely enjoy continuing to learn new things with his family. At a great medium size, Paul is big enough to be an adventure buddy but manageable enough to fit comfortably into everyday life.

Paul is simply a joy to be around. He's playful, affectionate, enthusiastic, and full of life. His bright personality and contagious energy make it hard not to smile when he's around.

Paul has come a long way from the frightened dog who first walked through our doors. Now he's ready for someone to give him the forever home where he can keep being the happy, loving boy he has become.

This pet is available for adoption on 7/11/2026 10:49 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
