Story
$50 Adoption fee! Why so low? Yakima County is spilling over with stray and dumped dogs. Our goal is to get dogs into the right homes ASAP so we can help other dogs in need. It's not about the money, it's about finding the right home for these pups! Balto was found on the streets in the lower valley. He was easy to catch as he loves people and is eager to show love and appreciation to everyone he meets. Balto is a cuddler and likes to give and receive kisses. Anyone willing to play and wrestle one minute, then turn around and cuddle the next will be a friend of his! This dog is located in Selah, WA. PetFinder allows multiple postings of the same animal as long as the postings are 100 miles apart from each other. This way we can reach far and wide to find the perfect home for this dog. If driving to Selah is difficult for you, we will do our best to find a rescue partner to meet you halfway.
