Caring Hearts 4 Paws

It started like most rescues. We saw the need.

There are many rescues in Western Washington but very few that take in dogs from the other side of the mountains. Yakima, in particular, is over run with strays and shelters are always at capacity. We see many pregnant stray dogs that are in serious need of help. Puppies that are born and survive (sadly many die) grow up to have their own litters. We wanted to help end that vicious cycle. We focus on trying to help reduce the population of stray dogs in the Yakima valley.

Mission Statement

It is the mission of Caring Hearts 4 Paws (CH4P) to address, educate, rescue, and provide aid and relief to neglected, abused and homeless stray animals at risk of ultimate death left to their own devices.

It is our duty to provide immediate transport, veterinary care and shelter as needed to assure the safety and well-being of each dog. Providing a safe and nurturing environment for healing both physically and emotionally until a well screened forever family is found.

It is our purpose to provide second chances to stray and mistreated dogs. To educate the  general public of the importance of spay and neutering as well as vaccines and yearly care for their pets. To decrease the number of stray dogs placing pressure on local government and municipal shelters and rescues.
