Pet of the week
Today's Weather
Hi, my name is Chewy. I am a young
female chow-mix available for adoption at
the Humane Society of Eastern Oregon Pet
Rescue in Hermiston.
I was a Hermiston stray, and I need a
new home. I’ve already had my shots, and
I am good with children and other dogs. I
can be adopted for $125. I come with a free
vet check and a three-day return policy.
If you are interested in welcoming
Chewy to your family, please stop by the
humane society at 1844 N.W. Geer Road,
Hermiston, or call 541-564-6222.
