Meet Dutchie, the adorable 6-week-old German Shepherd pup who's stealing hearts! This little ball of fluff was found alone, but she's been thriving with her foster mom's love and care. The foster mom had been bottle feeding her. Dutchie's a social butterfly, loving people, dogs, and kids alike. She's a quick learner, already mastering the doggy door and eager to please.
This spunky girl is up to date on shots and just waiting for her spay appointment in a couple weeks. Then, she's ready to join her forever family! If you're looking for a smart, affectionate companion, Dutchie's your girl. We do not know about cats, as the foster does not have any. But since she's a puppy, she should do find with a dog friendly cat.
NOTE: Puppies are cute, but take extra work
Puppies are so cute and cuddly and lovable! But they take a LOT of work. In addition to all the standard commitments and sacrifices needed when adopting a dog, puppies come with some additions.
While we begin this process, you will still need to be prepared for these additional needs:
Potty training. This means they’ll need to go outside every two hours, day and night. Plus, there will likely be messes in your home that will need to be cleaned up.
Crate training. Crate training takes advantage of your dog’s natural instincts to seek out a comfortable, quiet and safe place when the environment around them becomes too loud or overwhelming. It’s an important tool in preventing dogs from chewing on items in the home or during housetraining. Crates are also a safe way to transport your dog in the car.
Consistent routines and schedules.
Outlets for all their energy – especially in their chewing stage (between 3 and 6 months).
Training.
Socialization.
A home that is “puppy-proof”.
Regular walks and exercise.
Back Adoption Info Adoption Application
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!
