This week we have been FULL but are still trying to help out as limited space opens up with adoptions. We were able to take in 69 animals this week and had 67 success stories. We are still at max capacity and know with Thanksgiving this week adoption/transfers will slow down, but we will try to help as much as we can. Minnie is one of our adorable pups available for adoption, check her out on our website!

Here is a video of some of our dogs getting their Thanksgiving meal. Huge shout our to our amaing staff members Jennifer and Monicas plus family for putting this together!

This is the last week of our “Thankful for a Home” adoption special!

YHS is thankful to those special adoption that welcome an adult animal into their home. Large breed dogs and mature cats are the hardest to place in homes. To show our appreciation these amazing will all be adopted out for 50% of the usual adoption cost.
Adult dogs over 40 pounds = $87.50
Adult cats over six months = $25.00

Here are some of the new faces this week or faces that have been with us but recently became available like Chinagain who was hit by a car back in October. If you are missing an animal or think one of these is your pet please file a Lost Report on our website. If you are interested in adoption you can go to our website and read the animal’s bio that you are interested in. If the animal is not listed it is no longer available.

Here is a peak into our morning, just another day in the life ❤️

New chairs arrived for our lobby (yay) so we are putting those together, called in some reinforcements to help get them assembled.

Yet another dog dumped, this time in pouring rain, with no where to put it as we are still AT CAPACITY. Right now it is in a pop up kennel. Took about fifteen minutes to catch as it was trying to hide under a car and get into a car that looked similar to the one it was dumped out of, so sad. Yes, we reported the abandonment to proper authorities.

The dogs got an early Thanksgiving and it looked delicious! Huge shout out to staff members Monica and Jennifer along with family members for putting this together. So amazing to have such a dedicated team! Scroll through to see more photos of the feast and delivery, we have a video of handing it out we will be sure to share soon.

We went through boxes of donations from PetSmart and had so much fun seeing all the toys/goodies.

Staff members also made sure our Lost and Found books were up to date to help reunite pets.

So much more occurred and it all happened before lunch!

Gunner is off to his forever home.

We are so excited to see this boy find his family. He is so deserving of a home and the excitement we feel cannot be described. Way to go Gunner!

Do you want a dog that wants to play?

Nickolas loves to play with his soft toys and really enjoys a good game of Tug. This handsome fella is so much fun to be around and very much a goober. We enjoy his happy personality and he always bring a a smile to our face. Nickolas is a two year old Siberian Husky mix who can’t wait to find his forever home. He doesn’t just enjoy playing with people he also enjoys playing with other dogs.

Check out his bio and apply to adopt today! During the month of November his adoption is 50% off along with all other large dogs and cats!

Fiesta was dumped by her family at our shelter.

They adopted her back in September and reached out to us less that a week ago to tell us it was working out, unfortunately at that time we didn’t have any room for her so we put them on our waitlist and gave them the option of other resources. They called and threatened to dump her a couple days later and unfortunately when a staff member went out into our back lot she was there with her owner. We once again said we had no open kennels but they took her collar off and ran away to their car, leaving her behind.

It’s so sad to see Fiesta back with us, especially seeing her abandoned. Fiesta is a one and a half year old Husky mix who is fantastic with other dogs. She does have the Husky prey drive and needs a home without livestock and cats. She knows the commands “sit” and “lay down” and really is a good girl. To learn more about Fiesta please check out her bio on our website!

We are AT CAPACITY. Every single large dog kennel is full. This is just one of our runs, each run looks the same. We have had multiple animals dumped at our facility this week and we simply don’t have anywhere else to put them. If you have been thinking about adoption please check out our website, we have so many amazing animals altered and ready to go home. Many of them have been with us for several months or longer. All large breed adult dogs over 40 pounds are 50% off during the month of November. Please share.

If you find a dog please file a Lost Report on our website and swing by so we can scan it for a microchip. We also have resources/recommendations we can provide to help you and will place you on our intake waitlist so we can help when we have room again.

Roman has been waiting for his home for over 150 days, let’s make sure he gets a home for the holidays.

Roman was abandoned at our building in May, when we called his microchipped owners they stated that they had rehomed him in the last month and had no contact information for the person they rehomed him to. Since then, Roman has been sitting in a kennel waiting for someone to choose him. Roman is five and a half years old and loves to go for walks. He will happily do “sit” and “down” for treats. Roman is also a dog that loves water, which isn’t something we expected from a Husky. He is a little selective about what dogs he likes so if you have another dog in the home we recommend dog a meet and greet prior to bringing him home with you.

Please go to our website and check out Roman’s bio and apply to adopt this cutie today! Remember, thanks to our special this month, Roman's adoption is 50% off!

Below is an update on one of our past pups!

Hello,
We adopted Otus from YHS in 2017. He was found as a stray in Selah and named “Slim” by the shelter staff. This is not surprising, considering a DNA test showed Otus to be 15% Italian greyhound. 😄

Otus has been a devoted companion and partner in our outdoor adventures. He loves to jump (he’s also part Boxer) and we used this passion to focus his attention while on walks. Otus’ secondary occupation is modeling for my husband’s photography business—he’s always willing to strike a pose!

At 8 years old, Otus is slowing down a bit, but his personality will be forever young. Thank you for taking care of Otus until we adopted him!

11/18/2024

This week we took in 68 cats and dogs and had 63 success stories! Lots of kitties getting adopted, we are hoping for some more dog adoptions this week so that we can help even more puppers! Winnie is one of our lovely dogs and she is hoping to get adopted very soon!

11/18/2024

We know it is getting colder out, but our dogs still need to stretch their legs!

This past week dog walking has been down and although we try our best, we rely on YOU to help us get our dogs the exercise they need. Come swing by during dog walking hours and take a pooch for a walk on the greenway. Kennel life is hard and walks are the highlight of our dogs’ day. Our staff will assist you in choosing the right dog for your walk and get the dog out of the kennel for you. We hope to see you soon.

Nick Fury would like to remind everyone that during the month of November all large breed dogs over 40 pound are 50% off. That includes Nicky Fury! This means his adopt fee is only $87.50. Our adult cats also have a reduced adoption fee, down to just $25. If you have been waiting to adopt, now is the time.

Check out Nick Fury and all of our other available dogs on our website.

11/16/2024

Below are just SOME of our new/available pets at our adoption center. Quite a variety this week! If you are missing a pet please submit a lost report on our website so that we can hopefully help to reunite you with your pet. If you are looking to adopt please go to our website where all the details will be for our available pets. If the pet is still listed it is still available.

11/16/2024

Remember, through the month old November we have our “Thankful for a Home” special. This means 50% off adoptions for adult dogs over 40 pound AND adult cats. Come swing by tomorrow and bring home a forever friend. We are open 10 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM to 5 PM. Looking forward to seeing you!

Chief Chedder is a seven year old Lab mix. Chief Chedder is looking for a home that will take him as he is and know that it takes more than just a quick walk to earn his trust. We aren’t sure about his life before coming to us but Chief Chedder is very head shy and doesn’t like strangers touching his head. For the staff that has worked with him he is no longer like this with them, but strangers are a no-go when it comes to his head. He walks well on leash and has met other dogs and done well. Over all this is an easy-going guy for someone that accepts his quirks and will love him regardless. As he approaches his golden years we hate to see him spend so much time in a kennel. He deserves forever just as much as every other dog.

If you are interested in Chief Chedder head on over to our website and apply to adopt him today.

The face you make when you see staff coming in with their coffee but you don’t see any Pup Cups.

We love to spoil our dogs but would love if you came in to spoil them as well. Did you know you can take our dogs out for day trips now? Pops would love to be taken to Starbucks to get a Pup Cup! Make a dog’s day and bust them out of their kennel for a fun-filled adventure.
