Story
Oliver was surrendered to us in September of 2023, so he ahs bene with us for a year and a half. He is a sweetie but needs to be kenneled when not supervised. He is kennel trained, he knows sit, off, and has a good recall. He has to be introduced slowly and intentionally to other dogs, he was raised arounds kids and his previous owner said he got along with them, but it has been awhile since he has been around any, I would imagine he would do well. Does not like rain or snow but will go out briefly. Please do not judge for breed, he is sweet and does not deserve the reputation.

Story
Mushu was left in a state park. He was very afraid when we got him and it has taken time to gain his trust. He would do best as a single dog ( he gets along with others but he usually ditches them and goes off on his own) He loves having a blanket and playing tug of war with it. He tends to prefer being outside and he can be chatty when he wants to heard other animals. Make sure to research the breed

Story
Tony was left on the side of the road, so there is no history on him. He has been a good boy the whole time we've had him. He loves to sit on your feet and just get pets. He loves splashing in his kiddie pool and he enjoys running around the yard. He gets along well with other dogs. He does not do well in a crate ( he broke the first and only one we ever gave him), he does still have house accidents and he occasionally chews pillows. So it is best that while you work on his anxiety that you have a space he can go in that isn't a kennel. He is a husky, so he loves to talk and tattle on his siblings. He doesn't share stuffed animals or food well 9 we are working on it)

Story
$50 Adoption fee! Why so low? Yakima County is spilling over with stray and dumped dogs. Our goal is to get dogs into the right homes ASAP so we can help other dogs in need. It's not about the money, it's about finding the right home for these pups! Jazzy spent several months at the Humane Society before coming to our rescue. She was found in the street in rough shape, like she had to fend for herself for quite some time. It’s obvious she was bred multiple times, then probably dumped. Jazzy is friendly to everyone and likes to be close to her humans. She’d love to be the center of attention by being the only dog, but she will tolerate fur siblings. She’s up for any new adventure or laying around the house. Sometimes I catch her just hanging out outside in the cold by choice. This sweet girl is ready to find a family of her own that will give frequent scratches and cuddles. This dog is located in Selah, WA. PetFinder allows multiple postings of the same animal as long as the postings are 100 miles apart from each other. This way we can reach far and wide to find the perfect home for this dog. If driving to Selah is difficult for you, we will do our best to find a rescue partner to meet you halfway.

Jazzy may need some extra time to establish complete trust around cats EXPOSURE TO CHILDREN: teens RECOMMENDATION FOR CHILDREN: I think she would do well around kids over 5.

Story
Imani (E-Mon-E) was left by a river 2 summers ago and is the first rescue we took in. She was already about 4 when we got her and takes a little time to warm up, she is getting more trusting of people but she has her shy qualities. Ince she knows you she loves you, will ask for belly rubs, is a wonderful ballerina, she likes running, a yard or active family would be good. She gets along well with boy dogs, is a little iffy around other females. She is very sweet, she is almost 6 but still has a lot of energy and years to go.
