Kurt

Meet Kurt, a five year old Husky/Malamute mix.<br/><br/>Kurt is a big, beautiful boy with a heart that’s just starting to open up. It seems like he’s spent much of his life on the streets, fending for himself and figuring things out the hard way. Because of that, everything is new to him – from the comfort of a soft bed to the feel of a leash.<br/><br/>Despite his rough past, Kurt is showing us he wants to connect. He’s the kind of dog who leans into you once he starts to feel safe – a sign of trust that’s truly special. He responds well to kindness, loves treats, and is looking for a person who will treat him with respect and patience. In return, he’ll offer quiet loyalty and a bond that runs deep.<br/><br/>Kurt isn’t ready for a loud or busy home, so no young kids at this time, and a calm environment would suit him best. He’ll need some time to adjust, but for the right person, he’s going to be an incredible companion.<br/><br/>This pet is available for adoption on 9/18/2025 at 1:52 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.<br/><br/>Did you know YHS offers a "Play Date" program?<br/><br/>Whether you are interested in adopting or just want to hang out with a furry friend, it's a fun way to spend an hour, an afternoon or even a couple days.
