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.

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.

Jasper

German Shepherd Dog

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jasper is a very sweet boy, but due to an incident with a neighbors dog ( the dog was fine and the human was never in danger). the county said he will be labeled a level 3 ( though I am going to fight that) He is actually a very timid dog, still working on not jumping, leash skills, and listening. Needs an EXPIERENCED person and probably better out of county, he has never had problems with dogs before and we're pretty sure the neighbor is lying but we have to inform an adopter of this information.

Story
Meet Katana!Katana is a gorgeous Shepherd/Husky mix with a heart full of sweetness and a playful spirit. This friendly girl loves to run and gets the zoomies when she’s excited—she’ll keep you laughing with her bursts of energy! Katana is still getting used to loud noises, so she’ll need a patient home that can help her feel safe and secure as she adjusts.With her affectionate nature and adventurous personality, Katana would thrive in a home where she can enjoy playtime, exercise, and plenty of love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will brighten your days and keep life fun, Katana is ready to meet you!Please do your breed research before applying to adopt. Huskies and Husky mixes are very special dogs with unique requirements. They often have the inclination to roam and can be great escape artists. Huskies need to be active and do best with adopters that can help them burn extra energy with fun training. They can have strong prey drives, and while every dog is different, many huskies will chase cats and livestock. Grooming is also an important part of their routine, brushing them several times a week can help prevent their undercoat from matting and keep them looking their best. Huskies are a fun, active 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.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?
