My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ben, a 6-year-old male Plot Hound/Pitbull mix.

The staff at YHS think Ben should actually be labeled as a Tiger and have the name Tigger. This bouncy boy has the lovingly innocent personality of the famous story book character as well as the stripes to match. Ben is so charming with his happy-go-lucky style that he is going to bounce right into any adopters heart. Ben is medium sized at 50 pounds and came to us with a cherry eye that we were happy to take care of. Ben is now looking and feeling much better. He loves to play outside with other dogs and would enjoy a doggie play partner but would also be fine as an only dog. Ben has a lot of energy and would love someone who enjoys walking or jogging, however, if you had a good sized yard and didn’t mind him racing around it that would work as well. Ben is still working on his basic commands but he is eager to please and is just a silly good boy.

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 processed. Adopters are welcome to visit the adoption center Monday-Saturday.
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.
