For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Gunner is a fun boy with a cool personality. He has a slightly shortened tail which is unusual for a Husky and very eye catching. Gunner loves getting out in the park and is a talkative chap. He wants an adopter that wants a conversationalist and finds Husky drama to be amusing. Gunner was trotting along and didn't realize we had stopped and when he hit the end of the leash he absolutely flopped on the ground and rolled around, making sure we were watching to know how much we had inconvenienced him. Once we tugged and told him we were walking in a new direction all perceived slights were forgotten and he was ready to explore again!
This boy loved getting out of the shelter and going for a car ride down to the coffee stand. He rode well in the front seat and loved hanging his head out the window taking in all the new sights. He had his first "Pup-a-chino" and absolutely loved it. He got to go explore a Police Department and meet the officers which he abosolutely adored doing. Like most Huskies, Gunner wants to explore and is going to need a yard that has a tall fence to keep him safe. He spent most of his photo shoot acting like the photographer was in his way and telling her all about it. He does like pets and is interested in treats too. Gunner was with us for almost a year before being adopted out in February of 2024. Gunner was brought in as a stray in October of 2024 and when we contacted his owners we were told he was out of state and to put Gunner up for adoption. Our heart hurt for this boy to be back with us and we can only hope that this time he will be adopted to his forever family. Gunner will be available for adoption on 10/05/2024.
If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854. If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.yakimahumane.org. A Yakima Humane Society staff member will contact you once your questionnaire has been received. A Picture says 1000 words...right? While an animal's picture draws interest, the reality is that as a potential adopter most people would like as much information as possible about a pet. The Yakima Humane Society is an open admission shelter. What does this mean? Over 90% of the pets at the adoption center arrive as strays, no history of behavior or medical care is known. Adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility. Please research carefully and remember that adoption is life saving. Adopt Don't Shop.
Meet Gunner, a 3-year-old male Husky mix.
