Story
$250 Adoption fee! Rex was found with another dog outside a business. When he came to us, he was pretty scared, but has since really opened up to us. He’s now a happy, loving pup, and quite the snuggler! He gets along well with every dog he’s met and has been friendly towards all new people he’s met. 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.
