Pet of the week
Today's Weather
Hi, my name is Bandit. I am a male
Corgi/collie-mix available for adoption at
the Humane Society of Eastern Oregon Pet
Rescue in Hermiston.
I was surrendered by my owner, and
I need a new home. I’ve already had my
shots, and I am good with children and oth-
er dogs. I am 1 year old and can be adopted
for $125. I come with a free vet check and
a three-day return policy. If I am neutered
within 60 days of adoption, my owner will
receive a $50 refund.
If you are interested in welcoming
Bandit to your family, please stop by the
humane society at 1844 N.W. Geer Road,
Hermiston, or call 541-564-6222.
