My story

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

Meet Marmalade, a two year old Chihuahua mix.

Marmalade is a talkative girl who isn’t afraid to tell you what’s what. She was pretty shy when she came in and is still a little slow to warm up to strangers but once she knows you have a warm lap… She will be in it and your best friend. Even if it takes her a moment to warm up, she bonds quickly and will make an excellent friend for someone who wants a loyal companion. Marmalade weighs in at around ten pound and because she is so shy at first we feel she would do best in a home with no young kids. Marmalade deserves only the best and hopes to go to her forever home soon!

This pet is available for adoption on 11/6/2024 at 8:56 AM 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-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. Before you go searching for free puppies or puppies for sale, check your local Shelters for available dogs and puppies that have been vetted and are ready to go home. Adopt Don`t Shop.
