Meet Your New Best Friend in Yakima This Summer

My wife and I got our little ‘Rusty Bear’ (pictured throughout this article) 12 years ago. I don’t quite remember if it was July, but it was during the summer months, because when I met him, it was at a wedding rehearsal way out past Naches.

He was running around with a golden retriever, and ran up to the picnic table I was sitting at, jumped on me, and started kissing my face. His owners came running up to me, apologizing, and I laughed, telling them not to worry, and joked how I’d trade my two cats for him (which I would never do).

They laughed and said no to the trade, but did inform me that they were looking for a good home for him if I was serious. My jaw dropped. I took a couple of pictures, showed my wife later that night, and at that moment, my wife and I’s family was complete.

The 12 years we’ve had him in our lives have been filled with so much joy, laughs, and love. He’s 14 now and has developed some health issues, but still gets the zoomies and still makes us laugh every day.

Having a dog is a big responsibility, but it is so worth it. Other dog owners, I’m sure, will agree that they bring so much life into the home, and the Yakima Humane Society wants to help every family feel that type of joy with a new family member.

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.
