Story
mowgli is a nice, funny, energetic dog. Our recent move to an apartment has been a huge adjustment for him which unfortunately has not gone well. Mowgli would fit best with someone who has no other dogs because he does best as center of attention, he would love a big yard with space to roam.

Story
Meet Courage, a one-and-a-half-year-old Pit/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix weighing around 60 pounds. Courage was named after Courage the Cowardly Dog, and while he may be a little nervous at first, there is so much more to this stunning boy than his initial hesitation. With his beautiful brindle coat and striking blue eyes, Courage is a head-turner who just needs the right person to help him come out of his shell.It’s clear that Courage hasn’t had much socialization, and new situations can make him nervous. He does best with someone who is confident and calm rather than overly coddling him. When given gentle encouragement and calm support, Courage truly transforms into a different dog. Once he realizes he’s okay, his confidence starts to shine.Courage would be an amazing companion for someone looking for a low-key best friend who wants to stick close by and be your shadow. He may be a little chunky right now and would benefit from a healthy diet and regular walks. Speaking of walks, once you get him moving, he walks great on leash. He may hesitate at first, but a confident start helps him settle right in.Courage isn’t looking for someone to feel sorry for him. He’s looking for someone who will believe in him, give him guidance, and show him that the world isn’t so scary. For the right person, we think Courage is going to be an incredible companion.This pet is available for adoption on 5.15.26 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Story
Meet Molly, a one-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix weighing 50 pounds.When Molly first arrived, she was a very shy girl who wasn’t quite sure what to make of everything. But with some patience, love, and time, she has really come out of her shell—and we couldn’t be happier to see her personality shine!Molly is very human-oriented and has quickly become a favorite among our dog walkers. She walks beautifully on leash and absolutely loves getting out for walks, exploring, and spending time with her people. Once the walk is over, she’s more than happy to trade adventure time for snuggles!Molly can still be a little unsure when faced with new situations, so she’ll appreciate a family who will continue to give her encouragement and let her build confidence at her own pace. She crates well and also enjoys playing with other dogs.Molly is simply a good girl looking for her person—a loving companion who will appreciate her sweet nature and give her the security and TLC she deserves. We think she’s going to make someone a wonderful best friend. This pet is available for adoption on 5/21/2026 2:59 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Story
Meet Leilei, a five-year-old Husky/German Shepherd mix weighing 55 pounds.Leilei is a lovely, easygoing girl who is ready to find a family to call her own. She was found as a stray and cared for by her finders for a time, but they were ultimately unable to continue caring for her. During her stay with them, they learned that Leilei is a friendly and affectionate companion who gets along well with men, women, and children.While she can be a little shy when meeting new people, Leilei warms up quickly and soon shows off her sweet personality. She enjoys spending time with her people, loves treats, and has a charming talkative side that makes her even more endearing. Whether she`s quietly relaxing at home or accompanying you on an outing, Leilei is happy to be part of the action.One of Leilei`s favorite activities is going for walks, and she walks nicely on a leash, making her a wonderful companion for daily strolls. Best of all, she`s past the puppy stage, so she`s ready to settle into a home without the constant chaos and training demands that often come with young puppies.If you`re looking for a low-key, affectionate dog who enjoys companionship, walks, and the occasional tasty treat, Leilei could be the perfect fit. Come meet this sweet girl and see if she`s the missing piece of your family!This pet is available for adoption on 6/16/2026 2:59 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Story
Meet Koia, a one-year-old Pit/Bully mix weighing 60 pounds.Koia is a big-hearted girl with a sensitive soul who is just beginning to discover what a safe and loving world can look like.She came to animal control after being surrendered from a severely neglectful situation where she had gone seven days without food. Tragically, there were also deceased dogs on the property, and it’s clear Koia has had very little positive exposure to the world around her. Because of this, everything is still new and sometimes overwhelming for her—but she is trying.Despite her past, Koia is a strong, affectionate “tank” of a dog with a sweet and goofy personality starting to shine through. When she gets excited, she bursts into joyful zoomies, and she absolutely loves treats, which makes her highly motivated for training and building trust. She’s not yet comfortable on a leash and can be a strong puller, so she’ll need a patient adopter willing to teach her at her pace with gentle, consistent guidance.Once she feels safe, Koia reveals a softer side—she enjoys affection and has a surprising love for being close to her people, even leaning into lap time when she feels secure.Koia needs a calm, understanding home that will help her continue learning that the world isn’t so scary. In return, she offers resilience, loyalty, and the beginnings of a truly special bond with someone willing to give her the time she’s always deserved.This pet is available for adoption on 6.26.26 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.Did you know YHS offers a `Play Date` program?Whether you are interested in adopting or just want to hang out with a furry friend, it`s a fun way to spend an hour, an afternoon or even a couple days.
