Meet Baby, an eight-year-old Rottie/Lab mix weighing 97 pounds.

Baby is a special senior girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. She came to us after being surrendered by someone experiencing homelessness who had cared for her for about six months. While much of her past remains a mystery, what we do know is that Baby is ready to leave uncertainty behind and finally enjoy the peaceful, loving retirement she deserves.

Baby is completely blind due to Nuclear Sclerosis, but don't let that fool you-she gets around remarkably well and doesn't let it slow her down. Once she learns her surroundings, she navigates with confidence and enjoys her daily routines just like any other dog.

Her recent senior bloodwork looked great overall, though it did show signs that she's experienced some stress in her life. These days, she's much more focused on the good things-like treats, walks, and affection. Baby is very treat motivated (just be mindful of your fingers, as her aim isn't perfect!), and she absolutely lights up when it's time for a stroll or some one-on-one attention.

She does have mild arthritis, but it's not currently at a level that requires medication. A soft bed, gentle exercise, and lots of love will go a long way in keeping her comfortable.

Baby is friendly, outgoing, and ready to bond deeply with her person. She's looking for a calm, stable home where she can feel safe and cherished in her golden years. If you have a soft spot for seniors and want to make a truly meaningful difference, Baby is waiting to meet you.

This pet is available for adoption on 4.3.26 at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
