YVPR does not respond to applications/inquiries originating from Petfinder. Questions about our adoption process can generally be answered by reviewing the Adoption FAQ's.

Hi, I'm Paisley! I'm about 3 years old and 9 lbs 11 oz of pure sweetness. I'm thought to be a Shih Tzu mix.

I'm a very smart, loving girl who lives to be in your lap. I love to be held, and I pay you back in kisses! I'm fully housetrained, UTD on shots as of 10/5/26, walk nicely on a leash, and am quiet in the house except when I'm playing. I get along great with other small dogs in my foster home.

I sleep quietly in my puppy pen at bedtime and when my foster mom goes out - no fussing at all, but I sure do a happy wiggle when you get back. I will be spayed prior to adoption.

If you want a calm, cuddly, loyal best friend, I'm your girl.

I have a daughter named Poppy who lives with me in our foster home. Her information is below and will be listed separately.

Hi, I'm Poppy! I'm just 5 months old and 5 lbs 6 oz of playful puppy love. They think I'm a Shih Tzu Yorkie mix, so I'm going to stay nice and small.

Just like my mom, I am super sweet, smart, and cuddly. I LOVE to be held, and I give the best little kisses. I'm housetrained, UTD on shots as of 10/5/26, and I'm learning to walk on a leash - I've gotten so much better!

I'm playful, quiet (except for happy play noises), great with other small dogs in my foster home, and I settle right down in my pen at night (with my mom) or when foster mom has errands - no crying. I will be spayed prior to adoption.

I'm ready to grow up with a family who will love me forever.

Looking for twice the love? Meet Paisley and her baby Poppy, two little sweethearts looking for their forever homes. They can be adopted together or separately - they just want to be held and loved.

If an application is approved, the applicant will be notified by email.






An application must be filled out and accepted before a meet can be set up. If accepted, you will hear from us within 72 hours. You will have the opportunity to ask questions before you meet the pet; an adoption may or may not happen at that time.
We do adopt outside the Yakima area IF you are able to come to Yakima to pick up your adopted pet. We do not have a kennel facility; all of our pets are in foster homes. Therefore, meets and adoptions take place at either our office or at a place chosen by the adoption coordinator.
If a pet has 'Adoption Pending' beside its name, an adoption is imminent. Please fill out an application anyway because adoptions don't always go through.
Your application will be kept on file for 30 days in case you find another pet you'd like to apply for.
Thanks for thinking adoption and Good Luck!
