Meet Ava!
Ava is a sweet, gentle girl who came to the adoption center as a stray after being picked up by animal control. When she first arrived, she was very scared and needed a little extra TLC to feel safe. With time and kindness, Ava has begun to blossom.

She does great spending time in the manager's office and feels especially comfortable when she has a calm canine friend nearby-she's done well with the manager's dog and has even met a parrot without any issues. Ava is looking for a patient, loving home that can help continue building her confidence. With reassurance, consistency, and plenty of love, this deserving girl will make a wonderful, loyal companion.

This pet is available for adoption on 1/15/2026 2:20 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal, please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
