Meet Chimkin, a six year old Husky mix weighing 55 pounds.

Chimkin has been through more than any dog should have to endure, but he is still holding onto his gentle, friendly spirit. When he arrived, he had a severe infected wound on his face that required sedation, cleaning, and stitches. Thankfully, he is now healing well and receiving the care he deserves.

X-rays showed that his hips and knees look good, but he does have several areas of spondylosis, most notably around his lumbosacral and cranial lumbar spine. Because of this, Chimkin may need ongoing, potentially lifelong medication and veterinary care to help manage his back.

His experiences have clearly taught him to be cautious. Chimkin seems like a dog who has had to fend for himself for quite some time. He is friendly, but he keeps his heart close rather than giving it away to everyone he meets. He may take time to trust and truly bond with his person, but we believe that once he chooses you, you will have a deeply devoted companion for life.

Chimkin is good on leash, knows "sit," and has the most striking mismatched eyes. He deserves a quiet, patient home where he can finally learn that people can be kind, dependable, and safe.

Chimkin may not be the dog who instantly throws himself into your arms, but he could be the dog who slowly becomes your most loyal friend.

This pet is available for adoption on 8/14/2026 4:56 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
