My story

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

Meet Waldo, a nine year old Chihuahua mix.

Waldo is a friendly guy who enjoys going for car rides and walks. He weighs in at around ten pounds love his booty rubs! Waldo was found running around and sadly no one has come looking for him. His finder had him a day but decided to bring him to us because he didn’t like their other dog and got protective over his spot on their lap, this is not uncommon with small dogs and can be corrected with some training and reminders. Since being with us Waldo has walked passed our outside cats without issue and may be fine in a home with feline companions. Waldo does have some old man teeth and would benefit from a dental and possible future dentals as he continues to age. He is a joy to be around and just a lot of fun, we can’t wait for him to find his home.

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.
