Have seen this dog at Tall Men's on 5th Ave with a homeless person in the mornings over the last few weeks.

Is the dog friendly with people, kids and other dogs ?

Pendleton blanket dang.. maby it has a owner who might of got sick n left it behind...

I am sooo grateful that YPD Community Service Officers are actually devoting some time to ANimal control and protection

Thank you, Yakima Police Department! Dumping a dog is against the law. We need to hold people responsible. Laws are in place for a reason and people will follow them if there are consequences πŸ‘πŸΌ

Are there cameras near by?

That’s a homeless persons dog he is always walking around with that same dog.

Unfortunately that person is currently locked up. I see alot of homeless with animals, all they want is a companion during these hard times. People treat homeless people like animals too. Because the way they look or thier hygiene. But the matter is the dog is found and the pendleton blanket is like a $230 blanket so clearly the person had a heart. But unfortunately life sometimes gets people. People who piont fingers usually have 3 pointing back at them. Wish compassion didnt only happen around the holidays but was year round

One down and thousand still to rescue. More of these posts and attention to this situation need to happen.

Is it adoptable?

I just don't understand. If you can't take care of them, no matter the reason, ask for help. They are not disposable. πŸ’• Thank you Yakima Police Department

This looks like a dog that was picked up by animal control at Roosevelt Elementary this week.

Idk who did this but if she needs a safe warm place to sleep I got it.

Not saying this is right either, BUT, back before I was born, people had a habit of tying out a dog they found as loose and running around to keep dog safe for owner to come and collect. As I belong to many community groups and lost and found pet groups in many states, I have seen COUNTLESS lost dogs found and put in dog parks or tied out by STRANGERS to the dog, only hoping to keep dog safe because they have no clue or ability to do anything else.

I would be more than willing to foster this pup, if possible and until said case is resolved.

The owner homeless takes really good care of this baby he usually has a coat on him and blankets so I’m worried where his owner went

I saw this baby with a homeless man on 1st street 2-3 days ago

Poor baby 😒

Is that dog ok?

Poor doggie 😒

The poor baby. If it was a homeless person he probably just could not take care of it any longer. Very sad. So glad he's safe

If the owner is sick & homeless then he should of left the dog at an animal shelter.

MESSAGE FROM CHIEF B

MESSAGE FROM CHIEF BOYLE - LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL GARDEN HONORING SERGEANT JOSEPH DECCIO

Dear Members of our community,
August 3rd, 2026 marks the five-year anniversary since Sergeant Joe Deccio tragically passed away while performing his law enforcement duties for the City of Yakima. In honor of Sergeant Deccio, we are proud to move forward with the construction of the Yakima Law Enforcement Memorial Garden. This sacred space will serve as a lasting tribute to Sergeant Deccio’s sacrifice, dedication, and service to our community.

The Memorial Garden is a collaborative effort that reflects our commitment to honoring those who serve and protect. To bring this vision to life, we are seeking support from both our department and the community through donations and sponsorships. Your contributions will help fund essential elements of the memorial garden, including landscaping, the monument itself, and security enhancements.

We invite everyone to participate in this meaningful project. Donations can be made through the Yakima Police Patrolmans Association (YPPA) donation portal, with options for one-time gifts, recurring contributions, and sponsorships. Your generosity will help ensure that this memorial is a fitting tribute and a place for reflection, remembrance, and community gathering for years to come.

Together, we can honor Sergeant Deccio’s legacy and demonstrate our collective support for law enforcement and the values we uphold. Please consider contributing to this important project and help us make the Yakima Police Law Enforcement Memorial Garden a reality.

I personally would like to thank the Yakima Police Benevolent Fund Committee for their work on this project. Thank you for your continued support and commitment.

-Chief Shawn Boyle
