#326136  american husky neutered male, 8mths 71 lbs and growing
 
Bear has been in foster from the time he was a little pup (due to legal hold) He is well loved and socialized.  The hope is that an equally deserving party will adopt him!  
 
Bear is eager to find a family that appreciates the work and patience involved in raising an adolescent pup. With his playful spirit, Bear is always ready for adventure! He enjoys playing with other dogs and going on long walks, making a securely fenced yard a perfect fit for him to expend some of his abundant energy. Bear is still young and inquisitive, so supervision during playtime is important. Bear has shown great promise in training, learning quickly thanks to his food motivation. He is nearly house-trained, with only occasional accidents, and is proficient in the command "leave it." During a recent outing, his recall was fantastic-he returned for treats with no issues, although he did show a strong prey drive towards birds. He was dog neutral both on and off-leash, but might be too much for small animals or cats. Bear would do well in a home with older children, as his excitement can sometimes be overwhelming-though it's all in good fun! He's a loving companion who enjoys snuggling after a day of play. With his charming personality, Bear is sure to bring joy and laughter into your home. It will be tough to say goodbye, but we know his perfect forever family is waiting just for him!

"TWO TOE TONY" easy walker, gentle soul, CATALOULA mix, "YAKIMA Humane SOCIETY"

 

Yakima Humane Society   info

Dogs on their website   https://yakimahumane.org/adopt/dogs/ 

Yakima, WA is a long drive from Portland, but the Yakima Humane Society seems like a decent animal shelter that could use a boost for attention.   They spay/neuter all their adoption pets and try to do adequate adoption screening (which is more than can be currently said of Mult County animal shelter!)

TWO TOE TONY intake 3/3/25  Adoption fee $175

Animal ID 57951633  male, 3yrs, 1 mth 25days  60 lbs

 "Listed as" Catahoula Leopard Dog mix", 

Meet Two Toe Tony, a three-year-old Catahoula mix weighing just over 60 pounds.

Tony is a handsome boy who came in with some puncture wounds to his face. They have since healed and Tony is looking/feeling amazing. Tony is a very sweet boy who walks well on his leash and loves to stop and roll in the grass. He is more of a leisurely walker and not in any hurry to go anywhere fast. Tony has a gentle soul. He is looking for a home with lots of understanding and love. He is very food motivated and doesn't understand how to take treats/food softly so that is something someone will have to work on with him. Due to this we recommend a home with no young kids, he has been great with them but he can't help but steal their food and isn't the softest about it. Tony is a great dog just waiting for someone to swoop him up.
======================================
This pet is available for adoption on 3/6/2025 at 3:32 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
