My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, my name is Chunky! I'm one smart boy here at the Blue Mountain Humane Society in Walla Walla. I will need a very special family to take me in. I can be timid around new people, I'm very head shy, and my body language can sometimes be a bit confusing. I would need to go to a home with no kids, but would thrive in a home where there's someone who is willing to work with me and the training I need. One thing about me, I'm VERY treat motivated! If you have any kind of tasty snack for me, I'll pick up new tricks in no time! I even learned 'place' in just about 5 minutes since I've been here. I love a good game of fetch and I also seem to get along with other dogs! The shelter does recommend a supervised dog meet here though, if you do have another four legged friend. If you think I could fit in with you, just fill out an adoption application online and come on down to meet me! I'll see you soon!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Browse the animals online or stop by during our shelter hours.
2. Get to know the animal. Play with them, take them for a quick walk, observe their behavior.
3. Talk to our staff about the animal. Learn about their personality!
4. Once you’ve decided to adopt, fill out an adoption application. Dogs over the age of 6 months can go on a home-trial to make sure they are your perfect match. Puppy, cat, and kitten adoptions can be finalized that day!
5. Receive a lifetime of unconditional love!

Animals are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Part of our mission is to place the animals in their new forever home as soon as possible, so we normally don't "hold" an animal for the Adopter.

More about this shelter

Our mission is to prevent cruelty and promote kindness to companion animals in our community. We are committed to stopping euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets by ending overpopulation and homelessness. To achieve this we provide quality shelter, spay/neuter, foster care, adoption, and re-homing services for companion animals in our community. All cats and dogs are spayed/neutered before adoption. We also provide adoption support, and screen adopters to ensure a safe, happy & healthy home for them.

BMHS is the only animal shelter facility in Walla Walla County. The society also serves as a shelter resource for parts of Umatilla and Columbia Counties.

BMHS admits an average of 2,250 animals annually from a variety of sources. We have contracts to accept seized or stray pets from the City and County of Walla Walla. We also have contracts to shelter seized pets for the cities of College Place, Dayton, Waitsburg and Milton-Freewater. We accept pets surrendered by their owners when we have space available. While we always attempt to reunite strays with their owners, only about 20% are reclaimed each year. The rest of the animals are placed up for adoption or transferred to other no-kill shelters and rescues around the region.

We offer free, temporary housing for pets of people who are receiving assistance at all local shelters, including the YWCA, STEP shelter and the Christian Aid Center.

In addition to sheltering pets, we provide animal control services in Walla Walla County, including cruelty and neglect investigations when necessary.

During 2013, the society set a record of finding forever homes for 1,210 companion animals. New partnerships with rescue organizations around the state allowed for the transfer of over 300 animals, each one resulting in a successful adoption. Animals awaiting adoption are updated in real time on this website. Now it is possible and increasingly more common for potential adopters from Idaho, Western Washington, and Oregon to visit a pet in our shelter that they found online.
