"WALTER" AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION WITH YAKIMA HUMANE SOCIETY"
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

"Listed as"Hound/retriever
Meet Walter, a two year old Hound/Retriever mix weighing 63 pounds.
Walter
is a gentle soul with the softest eyes and the sweetest heart. Recently
surrendered with his companion Edith, Walter spent his entire life
outdoors in a kennel. His former family had him since he was a puppy,
but due to circumstances, could no longer care for him. When he arrived,
Walter had injuries to his ears consistent with repeated fly bites - a
sign of how long he's gone without the comfort and care he deserves.
Despite it all, Walter remains incredibly friendly, gentle, and eager to
connect.
Everything is new to him - indoor living, soft beds,
consistent affection - but he's learning the ropes and taking it all in
stride. He might do best in a home without cats and will benefit from
continued socialization to help build his confidence. What he needs most
is patience, kindness, and someone willing to show him what love truly
feels like. Walter is ready for a fresh start, and with the right
person, he's going to blossom. Could that be you?
Did you know YHS offers a "Play Date" program?
Whether you are interested in adopting or just want to hang out with a furry friend, it's a fun way to spend an hour, an afternoon or even a couple days. Every Play Date helps staff know more about a pet and helps a pet spend less time in a kennel. It's a win-win! If you are interested in adoption, a play date is a great way to make sure you and your potential new pet are the perfect match. Stop by the front desk or call in and ask how to have your Play Date today.
