Pets Snatched In Yakima And Union Gap
But there's been a new addition that's now catching the criminals, cameras. The cameras have helped dramatically with pet theft. Last year there were 61 animals that were missing or stolen. This year there have only been five. Even though the year is not over, there would have to be a huge spike to come anywhere near last year's numbers.Yakima Humane Society - News

Helping Animals is a Bark in the Park : Yakima Magazine – Yakima ...
If dogs are our best friends, then why not take them to a party?
Believe it or not, you can do just that right here in Yakima.
The third annual “Bark in the Park” event, a fundraiser for the Humane Society of Central Washington, is Sept. 17 at the Yakima Greenway next to the Humane Society.
The event is designed to be fun for both man and Fido and includes a variety of entertainment: fashion shows, races and singing competitions for the canines, and wine tasting and lots of laughs for the humans.
“It’s nice to have the community come together on a nice, sunny afternoon for a feel-good time,” says Nikki Delorie, the event’s coordinator and a volunteer at the Humane Society. “We do have a lot of fun, and it’s good to associate with the shelter.”
Delorie urged her husband’s law firm, Delorie-Johnson, to sponsor Bark in the Park when it began in 2009, and that sponsorship continues today. Delorie’s goal is to raise funds for the shelter, increase the number of animal adoptions and give the public a better idea of the vast number of homeless animals in the area and how much it costs to house, feed and take care of them. All of the event’s proceeds go to the local shelter.
Alan Landvoy, the Humane Society’s executive director, said that events like this one not only raise funds for the everyday care of rescued animals, but help highlight those animals available for adoption and the services that the Humane Society provides, like low-cost spay and neuter.
But Bark in the Park is also a day to have some quirky fun.
One of this year’s signature events is “Ready, Set, Quiver,” a dog race featuring Chihuahuas. The Sun Dogs agility club will provide “halftime” entertainment for the crowd. Other activities include dog show classes, live music, pet-related vendors, a raffle, a dog singing competition, food vendors and a new wine-tasting garden.
Last year, dogs in the fashion show competed for the best “fancy” dress, but the costume themes this year are wide open, says Delorie. A $250 first prize goes to the dog with the best get-up.
