Meet Pedro, a two and a half year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix.
Pedro was brought to us as a stray and it is clear he hasn't had the easiest life. His ears are covered in scratches and scars that could be from a variety of thing such as a bad case of fleas. He also has some scars on other parts of his body, despite this Pedro doesn't hold his experiences against humans. Sure, it takes him a little longer to warm up than with other dogs, but five minutes outside and you will notice him inching closer to you for some attention and lovin. Because he is timid at first we do recommend a home without young kids, at least for the first little bit so he can warm up to you and feel secure without feeling pressured by the kids. At 55 pounds Pedro is a great size and he walks great on leash. We see him really coming out of his shell in his forever home.

A Picture says 1000 words...right? While an animal's picture draws interest, the reality is that as a potential adopter most people would like as much information as possible about a pet. The Yakima Humane Society is an open admission shelter. What does this mean? Over 90% of the pets at the adoption center arrive as strays, no history of behavior or medical care is known. Adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility. Please research carefully and remember that adoption is life saving. Adopt Don't Shop.
