My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

$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! Steve was dumped in the outskirts of Selah and the lady that found him took it upon herself to get him vaccinated and neutered, and placed with us for adoption. Steve is a sweetheart and has been a great addition to our pack! He gets along with every dog he meets, is playful with the puppies, and loves to show humans hugs and kisses. Steve would love to have a home with a fur sibling or two, with a big yard to play in. 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.
