Meet Pedro, a two and a half year old American Pit Bull Terrier/Retriever mix.
Pedro was brought to us as a stray and it is clear he hasn’t had the easiest life. His ears were covered in scratches and scars that could be from a variety of thing such as a bad case of fleas. He also had some scars on other parts of his body, despite this Pedro doesn’t hold his experiences against humans. He has now been with us for a while and all those scabs and scars are a thing of the past, his coat has come back nice and healthy and his spirit is that of a dog reborn. Where he was once shy, Pedro is now happy and ready to get some lovin. He enjoys attention and has a playful side. We are working on his manners as he likes to jump up and can be a bit mouthy when excited, however this is easily redirected to a toy and can be trained out of him pretty quickly. Due to his being mouthy when excited we think a home with no young kids might be best until he gets a bit of training. Pedro walks really well on his leash and is just a puppy at heart. Pedro has met another big dog while with us and did well, we think that given a proper introduction he could do well in a home with another dog or by himself.
This pet is available for adoption at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. 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 processed. Adopters are welcome to visit the adoption center Monday-Sunday, that’s right we are open all days of the week!
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.
