Story
Meet Bisbee & Mofo!
Two former street dogs. One incredible friendship. And a whole lot of nothing on their agenda.
After surviving on the streets of Yakima for well over a year, these two boys spent their last four months being cared for by a neighborhood that refused to give up on them.
Catching them? That was a whole different adventure. They will do best in a home with children aged 16+
Bisbee (the fluffy-headed one) was caught first. Mofo, well, he earned his name honestly.
After exhausting just about every option, we finally walked Bisbee home on a leash for nearly TWO HOURS, with Mofo following his best friend the entire way.
Here's what we've learned about these two:
Bisbee – The Eeyore of the group
• A little skittish, but starting to realize this whole "having a home" thing isn't so bad.
• Walks great on a leash.
• Learning his potty manners.
• Enjoys routine, quiet time, and doing absolutely nothing.
• Has successfully spent three hours loose in the house with our dogs without any trouble.
• Basically a retired old man who forgot to get a job first.
Mofo – The Loyal Sidekick
• Still very cautious and unsure of people.
• Calm, gentle, and not looking for trouble.
• Completely devoted to Bisbee. Wherever Bisbee goes, Mofo follows.
• Learning that humans might actually be pretty decent.
• Would prefer you didn't make a big fuss about him.
What they have in common:
• Both have been wonderful with our four dogs.
• Neither barks at visitors.
• Both are slightly intimidated by our cat. Yes, the former street dogs are afraid of the house cat.
• Both are still learning what it means to be someone's pet.
• Both can jump a SIX-FOOT FENCE. Apparently, surviving on the streets comes with some impressive athletic abilities.
Their dream home:
• A patient, understanding family who won't rush them.
• A peaceful environment where they can settle in at their own pace.
• Secure containment and careful supervision to keep these escape artists safe.
• Room to explore safely, relax, and just be dogs.
• Most importantly, a home where they can stay together.
These boys survived together, looked out for each other, and made it through because an entire community cared enough to help.
Now we'd love to give their story the ending it deserves.
No more surviving. No more running. Just two best friends enjoying the good life, preferably from the comfort of a couch, doing absolutely nothing.
Bisbee and Mofo have already figured out how to survive together. Now they deserve to continue to live together.
They are neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Both are being cared for in Yakima, WA
