Meet Buddy Creekmore, a two-year-old Pit mix weighing 54 pounds.

Buddy's world turned upside down recently. He came to us after his owner was arrested, and the person who was supposed to come get him never showed. Now, this sweet boy finds himself confused, unsure, and trying to figure out what's next.

It's no surprise that Buddy is feeling a little shaken-he's been through a lot in a short time. He needs someone who understands that healing takes time, and who's willing to go slow and let him come out of his shell at his own pace.

What Buddy really needs now is some good old-fashioned TLC. A soft place to land, a calm and patient human, and a safe space to start over. With consistency, kindness, and time, we believe Buddy will begin to trust again and show the loving, loyal dog we know is in there.

If you have a big heart and a little extra patience, Buddy Creekmore just might be the one who needs you most right now.

This pet is available for adoption on 10/13/2025 at 2:21 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.

Did you know YHS offers a "Play Date" program?

Whether you are interested in adopting or just want to hang out with a furry friend, it's a fun way to spend an hour, an afternoon or even a couple days. Every Play Date helps staff know more about a pet and helps a pet spend less time in a kennel. It's a win-win! If you are interested in adoption, a play date is a great way to make sure you and your potential new pet are the perfect match. Stop by the front desk or call in and ask how to have your Play Date today.

Ready to adopt?
Great news-our spayed/neutered pets are available to go home the same day! You can visit us in person, give us a call, or apply online-whatever works best for you.
