Lance Tormey, KIT Radio, can use new and used doghouses to be distributed free of charge to less fortunate dogs in our community. If you have a dog house in good condition that you no longer need, please contact us and we'll pick it up.
Who We Are
Yakima Valley Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization. We are accepting donations to build a No Kill Shelter for the Yakima Valley.Yakima Valley Pet Rescue is an all volunteer, independent referral and placement service established to help people who can no longer keep or provide care for their pets. We provide an alternative to surrendering your cherished pet to a shelter. Yakima Valley Pet Rescue will place your pet on our Petfinder Adoption List and will help find them a new, loving, forever home. We are dedicated to the well being of these animals and their owners. ALL pets placed through this service will be spayed or neutered. PLEASE have your pet spayed or neutered to help solve the pet overpopulation crisis in Eastern Washington.
Adopting a friend
We require an application for adoption to be filled out completely and either emailed or returned via regular mail prior to an adoption taking place. We try to place our listed pets in the best possible homes, so we reserve the right to check references and deny an adoption should we feel it's not the right match between the applicant and the pet. We do our best to assess and test for temperament issues. We will often rely on the owner's statement to provide you with as much information as possible. We require ALL pets placed by us to be spayed or neutered. We may have them altered prior to arriving at their new home. Adoption donations are $90.00 for dogs and and $20.00 adoption fee for cats. For kittens the adoption fee is $35.00 and that would include a voucher to have that kitten spayed or neutered at no cost at our vet if you are local. If you are from out of town you will need a pre-paid spay/neuter certificate. We appreciate any and all donations towards rescuing and saving these pets. We are only excepting cash for the adoptions. Thank you!
Summer tips
Tips to keep your pet safe in the sun and on July 4th
The summer weather has finally arrived and we're all eager to get out and enjoy the warmth. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
* Never leave your pet unattended in the car on a warm sunny day. Even with the windows down, the temperature inside a car can be lethal to your pet.
* Make sure that your animal has access to lots of fresh cold water. Cats and dogs need to be hydrated to regulate their body temperature. Don't forget to bring a thermos full on outings.
* Fireworks can be frightening for your dog. Don't leave them outside. It's best to have them indoors with the TV or radio on, where they are secure and it's quieter.
* Walk your dog early, when it's cool, and tire them out! They'll be less stressed if they are sleepy when the celebration starts.
Come Visit Us!
We do not have a shelter or physical location yet. Instead, we are a group of dedicated volunteers living in the Yakima area, who foster pets needing new homes. These animals are listed on Petfinder as available for adoption. Many of the pets we list may still be in their current homes. On occasion, we can facilitate an "emergency surrender".
