Many families think getting a pet will be a breeze.

Sometimes it is! Sometimes, it’s a bigger commitment than you expected.

If you can get through the growing pains of a new four-legged family member, the love and rewards are unmeasurable.

But if you’re unsure of the situation or wish you could try it out, YOU CAN!

Whether you are looking to adopt a dog or just foster one for a little bit until a forever home can be found, or just want to be a nice and great human and give a pet a little vacation for a few days, contact the Yakima Humane Society!

Yakima Humane Society’s Home For The Holidays!

Many pets will sadly spend the upcoming holidays alone, but you can change that.

Visit the Yakima Humane Society and check out a pet. Take it home, play with it, and hopefully, fall in love with it.

If your new friend fits in, then make it a permanent thing and adopt!

Yakima Humane Society will take care of all the necessities like collar, leash, food, toys, poop bags, etc.

This way, your time learning about the pet and their vacation away from the shelter can be as stress-free as possible!
