$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! After spending almost a year in the Humane Society, Scooby transferred into our rescue. From day one, he fit right into our pack, playing nicely with dogs of all sizes and ages. He is one happy boy! If you want a couch cuddler, he is your guy. This loving boy would love a family to call his own, preferably with a big yard to run in and a few fur siblings to play with. 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.
