Story

Meet Molly, a three-year-old Lab/Husky mix weighing around 70 pounds.Molly might have been on the run for a week, but now that she’s safe, she’s making up for lost time with tail wags and playtime galore! This friendly, outgoing girl is full of energy and affection—and she’s ready to find a home where she can keep learning, growing, and having fun.Molly gets along well with other dogs and is always up for a game or a romp in the yard. She’s a happy, social pup who loves people, but she’s still learning her manners—she can be a bit mouthy when excited, so she’s currently working on the “off” command and would do best in a home without young kids for now (though that could change as she continues to learn!).She’s got a big heart, a big personality, and so much love to give. If you’re looking for a joyful pup who’s eager to be your best friend—and don’t mind helping her polish her manners—Molly might just be your perfect match.This pet is available for adoption on 7/31/2025 at 1:46 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Story

Meet Elvira, a one-and-a-half-year-old Pit mix weighing 57 pounds. Elvira is the kind of dog who makes you smile the moment you meet her. With her beautiful dark grey coat, expressive ears, and always-wagging tail, she radiates joy and affection. Elvira came to us after being hit by a car, but this tough girl bounced back fast! Thankfully, X-rays showed no broken bones, and she’s been making a speedy recovery ever since. Her spirit is as strong as her heart is big.She’s friendly with everyone she meets – humans and dogs alike – and has already made a great impression on a doggy friend during her time here. Elvira lives for treats, loves attention, and will gladly be your shadow if it means more cuddles (and maybe a snack or two). If you`re looking for a loving, happy-go-lucky companion who’s overcome the odds and still greets life with a tail wag, Elvira is ready to meet you.This pet is available for adoption on 9/26/2025 at 1:52 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Ace

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 6 yrs 8 mos

Yakima, WA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Ace!Ace is a 6½-year-old Blue Pitbull with a heart as big as his smile and a love for the simple things in life—like a comfy couch and a good nap! This handsome guy is the definition of a chill companion. He’s happiest lounging by your side, soaking up attention, and enjoying a relaxed day at home. While Ace is a total sweetheart with people, we do recommend a meet-and-greet with any potential dog friends before adoption, just to make sure everyone gets along.Ace is looking for a home that appreciates his calm, easygoing nature and will give him the love and comfort he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal buddy to share the couch (and maybe a few snacks), Ace is your guy! Please do your breed research before adopting a Terrier mix. They can be a bit stubborn at times and need lots of physical and mental stimulus to keep them happy. Terrier mixes can be strong-willed and need an equally determined person to keep them in line. Terriers are fun, athletic and smart. Many people have fallen in love with them over the years, but it is important to keep their breed needs in mind if you are considering adding one to your household.This pet is available for adoption at the Yakima Humane-Ellensburg Shelter If you recognize this animal, please contact the adoption center at 509-925-7387 Ready to adopt? Great news—our spayed/neutered pets are available to go home the same day! You can visit us in person, give us a call, or apply online—whatever works best for you.

Story

Meet Mae!Mae is a 1-year-old Shepherd/Kelpie mix with the sweetest, most curious soul. She was brought to us by Wapato City Animal Control after being caught in a dog trap — a scary experience for such a gentle girl. It’s clear that Mae hasn’t had much exposure to people before, and it’s been heartwarming to watch her discover the world one new experience at a time.At first, Mae wasn’t sure what to think of kind hands or tasty treats — both were brand-new to her. But now she’s learning that pets, belly rubs, and snacks are pretty wonderful things! Despite her shy beginnings, Mae’s confidence grows a little more each day.Mae is still so young, almost a puppy herself, but she’s already had a litter in her past. Now it’s her turn to be cared for and loved. Mae will blossom in a patient, understanding home where she can continue to learn that people are kind and life is full of good things.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.
