My story

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

Meet Sandwich! A male German Shepherd mix!

Sandwich came to us as a stray found on White Pass. He was a little scared at first and is still leery of a leash, but he is slowing coming around to some of our staff. He is very food motivated and loves a good treat. He is a bit talkative and will share all of his opinions with you.

He will need some TLC for him to trust his new family.

We always recommend testing all our dogs with any other potential family members prior to adoption to ensure the best outcome for all!

Please do your breed research before applying to adopt Sandwich. German Shepherds and GSD mixes are a special breed of dog with special requirements. These dogs were bred to have a job, and without the right activity level/purpose they won't flourish which can lead to issues down the road. These dogs are incredibly smart and need to be challenged both physically and mentally to really be happy. The German Shepherd is known to be vocal when excited and can be a bit mouthy at times, proper training is key in helping your German Shepherd adjust to their new life. German Shepherds are a fun, athletic breed that many have fallen in love with over the years, but please keep their breed needs in mind when considering adding one to your household.

Come meet Sandwich today, he is currently available for adoption at the Ellensburg Humane Society

If you are interested in adopting this pet, please fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.yakimahumane.org and a staff member will contact you once your questionnaire has been received.

A Picture says 1000 words...right? While an animal's picture draws interest, the reality is that as a potential adopter most people would like as much information as possible about a pet. The Yakima Humane Society is an open admission shelter. What does this mean? Over 90% of the pets at the adoption center arrive as strays, no history of behavior or medical care is known. Adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility.

Please research carefully and remember that adoption is lifesaving. Adopt Don't Shop.
