Fiesta Siberian Husky Mix Yakima, WA

Meet Fiesta, a 1.5-year-old female Husky mix.

Fiesta got her name because she is the life of the party! At around 40 pounds she is a great medium-sized dog. She loves attention and is ready to smile all the time. Fiesta loves playing with the dogs we have introduced her to, she enjoys being chased and jumping around. She would be fine as an only dog but would also enjoy a home with another playful dog to roughhouse with. Fiesta was adopted but sadly returned for not doing well with livestock and cats, this isn't surprising for her breed mix and since we want her to succeed we don't recommend her to go to a home with livestock or small animals. She laid down and posed during her pictures which made us smile, it's pretty rare to find a dog that does that! Speaking of rare, this is a Husky that enjoys playing in water! We put a kiddie pool outside for her and she was all about that life. Fiesta loves treats and wants to please, with some training and structure there isn't much this girl won't be able to do!

Fiesta recently went on a public dog walk and this is what they had to say about her!

"Her name is accurate! She was ready to go!!! She would be perfect for an active person or family. She enjoyed jogging/sprinting, sniffing everything, and rolling in fresh grass (sending in another email). Once she got her energy out she was more responsive to commands, ignored other dogs, and did not chase after anything. She is very playful and fun."

If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.yakimahumane.org. A Yakima Humane Society staff member will contact you once your questionnaire has been processed. Adopters are welcome to visit the adoption center Monday-Saturday.

A Picture says 1000 words...right? While an animal's picture draws interest, the reality is that as a potential adopter most people would like as much information as possible about a pet. The Yakima Humane Society is an open admission shelter. What does this mean? Over 90% of the pets at the adoption center arrive as strays, no history of behavior or medical care is known. Adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility. Please research carefully and remember that adoption is life saving. Adopt Don't Shop.
