Some dogs walk into a shelter and quietly wait for the world to find them — Yeezy is exactly that dog.

This gentle two-year-old American Bulldog mix is up for adoption through animal services serving Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Thurston County.

He's naturally shy at first, but earn his trust and he transforms — leaning in close like he's known you forever.

Don't let the sturdy build fool you — Yeezy is a full-on lap dog at heart, loyal, cuddly, and desperate to find his person.

At just $110, his adoption fee covers spay/neuter, microchipping, DAPP and Bordetella vaccines, deworming, and flea treatment — remarkable value for the care he's already received.

Dogs like Yeezy don't last long in Washington State shelters.

Call 360-352-2510 to confirm his availability — and give this devoted boy the home he's been patiently waiting for.
