Merlot’s FAQs

What is Yakima Valley Pet Rescue’s adoption process?

Applications for our pets must be filled out at https://yvpr.org/adoptions/, not the petfinder site. An application must be filled out and approved before a meet can be set up. If approved, you will hear from us within 72 hours. You will have the opportunity to ask questions before you meet the pet; an adoption may or may not happen at that time. We do adopt outside the Yakima area IF you are able to come to Yakima to pick up your adopted pet. We do not have a kennel facility; all of our pets are in foster homes. Therefore, meets and adoptions take place at either our office or at a place chosen by the adoption coordinator. If a pet has 'pending' beside its name, an adoption is imminent. Please fill out an application anyway because adoptions don't always go through. Your application will be kept on file for 30 days in case you find another pet you'd like to apply for. Thanks for thinking adoption and Good Luck! For more information go to http://yvpr.org/adoptions.html
