Hi!! My name is Augie and I'm a 65lb dog here at BMHS in Walla Walla! I love treats, quality time, walks, and leaning on you! I'm a wiggly buddy and know how to make you smile! I am really young, so more training is something I need. Lucky for you, I already know a lot! I know how to sit, lay down, "drop" when we play fetch, and walk well on a leash! I prefer to live somewhere without livestock. I seem to do well with other dog big and small! I would love to meet your doggy friends here at the shelter! Call the hoomans to set that up! Not to wag my own tail, but the hooman's say I'm super sweet and teachable. My all time favorite toy is a durable tennis ball. I could play fetch all day! And when we're not playing, I will carry it around! I prefer not to have squeaky toys or soft toys that I can tear apart. I confuse them as snacks sometimes and it's no fun. I do love me some real snacks! Toss me a treat and we'll be best friends! Although I can be a bit shy at first, I warm up to be very playful, fun, and energetic! My sweet, fun, energetic personality may be the perfect addition to your home and family! What-do-ya say?! Fill out an adoption application online and come meet me!

1. Browse the animals online or stop by during our shelter hours.
2. Get to know the animal. Play with them, take them for a quick walk, observe their behavior.
3. Talk to our staff about the animal. Learn about their personality!
4. Once you’ve decided to adopt, fill out an adoption application. Dogs over the age of 6 months can go on a home-trial to make sure they are your perfect match. Puppy, cat, and kitten adoptions can be finalized that day!
5. Receive a lifetime of unconditional love!
Animals are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Part of our mission is to place the animals in their new forever home as soon as possible, so we normally don't "hold" an animal for the Adopter.

More about this shelter
Our mission is to prevent cruelty and promote kindness to companion animals in our community. We are committed to stopping euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets by ending overpopulation and homelessness. To achieve this we provide quality shelter, spay/neuter, foster care, adoption, and re-homing services for companion animals in our community. All cats and dogs are spayed/neutered before adoption. We also provide adoption support, and screen adopters to ensure a safe, happy & healthy home for them.
BMHS is the only animal shelter facility in Walla Walla County. The society also serves as a shelter resource for parts of Umatilla and Columbia Counties.
BMHS admits an average of 2,250 animals annually from a variety of sources. We have contracts to accept seized or stray pets from the City and County of Walla Walla. We also have contracts to shelter seized pets for the cities of College Place, Dayton, Waitsburg and Milton-Freewater. We accept pets surrendered by their owners when we have space available. While we always attempt to reunite strays with their owners, only about 20% are reclaimed each year. The rest of the animals are placed up for adoption or transferred to other no-kill shelters and rescues around the region.
We offer free, temporary housing for pets of people who are receiving assistance at all local shelters, including the YWCA, STEP shelter and the Christian Aid Center.
In addition to sheltering pets, we provide animal control services in Walla Walla County, including cruelty and neglect investigations when necessary.
During 2013, the society set a record of finding forever homes for 1,210 companion animals. New partnerships with rescue organizations around the state allowed for the transfer of over 300 animals, each one resulting in a successful adoption. Animals awaiting adoption are updated in real time on this website. Now it is possible and increasingly more common for potential adopters from Idaho, Western Washington, and Oregon to visit a pet in our shelter that they found online.
