Story
Meet Oscar, a ten month old German Shepherd/Greyhound mix weighing around 50 pounds.Oscar was brought in to us by someone, unfortunately we didn`t have room for him at the time but we gave them a bag of dog food to help with his care and placed them on our waitlist. However, someone informed us that they left him tied up to a trash can on the green way with the bag of food we had given him. We can`t imagine ever doing that, and Oscar is most definitely not trash. This boy is active, outgoing and smart as a whip. He picks up information quickly and although he is a teenager and still learning his manners he has a ton of potential. We see this guy doing really well with his new family.This pet is available for adoption on 5/2/2025 at 5:06 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Story
Meet Duke, a two year old Pit/American Bully mix weighing 80 pounds.Duke is a thick boi that reminds us a bit of a hippo, we adore him! He is a friendly goober who likes treats and can be heard across the yard thanks to his snorting. Duke knows the command `Sit` and really enjoys going on his walks to smell all the smells. He is a bit strong on the leash but it just seems like he doesn`t know his size.This pet is available for adoption on 5/3/2025 at 1:43 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Story
Meet Arya, a two month old Shepherd/Terrier mix weighing around 8 pounds.Arya is a super cute little gal who we believe will be medium sized but may surprise us and grow bigger. She is very friendly with people and enjoys being around humans. Please remember that Arya is a puppy and puppy behavior comes with the package. They need basic training and potty training along with being provided chew toys to encourage proper chewing habits. All puppies require socializing from a young age to help them become the best, most well-rounded dog they can be.This pet is available for adoption on 4/28/2025 at 1:28 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.
