My story

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

Oscar is a 2-year-old black Lab with a gentle, reserved nature. Though he can be a little wary of new people, he’s incredibly sweet once he feels comfortable and safe. Oscar may need some time to adjust in new environments, but with patience and understanding, he will form a strong bond with those who earn his trust.

Oscar enjoys quiet walks, lounging in peaceful spots, and the company of those he’s close to. He’s a calm, affectionate dog who thrives in a low-stress, patient home where he can feel secure. His loyalty is second to none, and once you’ve gained his trust, he’ll be a loyal and loving companion for life.

Oscar would do best with an experienced, patient owner who can give him the time he needs to come out of his shell. With the right love and care, Oscar will blossom into the sweet and devoted dog he’s meant to be.

This pet is available for adoption at the Ellensburg Humane Society adoption center.

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. Adop
