Story
Meet Randy, a 5-year-old male Rottweiler/Pitbull mix. Randy came in to us pretty under weight, but 15 pounds later he is looking much better. He has played in the play yard with other dogs and got along great with another resident named Kenny. He is a friendly boy who plays fetch and is working on basic commands. Despite his size Randy walks pretty good on his leash and doesn’t yank you around, at 75 pound he could throw his weight around if he wanted to. He tends to bond strong and is a protective breed so please do your research prior to applying to adopt this big sweetheart. Randy enjoys playing fetch and returns the ball quite frequently like the good boy that he is. He has met several dogs while with us and has done very well. One dog even escaped and found herself in his run and he was totally chill with it! Randy is looking for a home that has lots of love and food!This pet is available for adoption at the Ellensburg Animal Shelter. If you recognize this animal please contact the Ellensburg shelter at (509) 925-7387.Did you know YHS lets local community members FOSTER TO ADOPT?That`s where you and the pet make sure you`re a good fit for one another by having a fun sleepover prior to finalizing your adoption.

Story
Meet Kenneth, a two year old Pointer/Pit mix.Kenneth is a handsome boy who weighs in at 52 pounds. He enjoys going on his walks and is surprising good on his leash for a dog that just came to us. Kenneth likes the sound of squeakers and is curious about the other dogs he sees. He lets people come up and pet him when on his walks without any issue and has a good disposition. He went on a hike with one of our amazing volunteers and they said he did great continually checking in and letting other people and dogs pass without much fuss. He does have a lot of energy at first, which is understandable coming from a kennel environment, but once he burns some of that energy off he really settles in. 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-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.
