$150 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! Benny was found as stray in Yakima, brought into the Humane Society, then we pulled him out to get his medical needs taken care of before adoption. Benny had a huge fluid filled abscess on his back that needed to be removed. Hes all healed up and ready for his new home! Benny is an easy going cuddle bug. Hes a happy little guy that gets along with all people and other dogs. 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.
