This adorable girl is Lindsey!

Lindsey is a petite Chihuahua-Cocker Spaniel mix who is about 3 years old. She has the cutest tan and white markings and smushy little face! Lindsey loves running around the yard, sniffing everything along the way. She enjoys having toys to play with and a big comfy bed to snuggle up on! Lindsey is a bit on the shy side, but with some patience and a bit of love, she really blossoms into a cuddly little dog! Lindsey is sure to be the perfect snuggle buddy companion! Because she is nervous, Lindsey needs a home without kids and needs a home (no apartments please) with a fully fenced yard. This little girl is uncomfortable around dogs, so she needs to be the only dog in the home. Lindsey's previous family said she was house trained and trained to use potty pads. If you are looking for a sweet, calm dog to be your very best friend, come in and meet Lindsey today!  

Last month, Kitsap Humane Society lost one of our most dedicated and influential volunteers, Heidi Harnett-Wakefield , when she passed away unexpectedly. Heidi was an extremely active KHS volunteer who helped as a Lead Dog walker, spent time working with the Transfer and Behavior programs, and served as a mentor to countless other volunteers over the years - and these are just a few of the many volunteer roles Heidi filled. Heidi’s passion and commitment was evident in everything she did. In addition to being a role model for so many volunteers and staff, she was also a vital part of the local animal welfare community. She was a member of our volunteer team for over 13 years and personally contributed over 5,300 hours in that time. Heidi gave much of her time to the dogs, especially those who had harder times finding homes, or those who were stressed in the kennel environment. She spent countless hours at the shelter, walking and working with these dogs, while also supporting and encouraging the many other volunteers and staff who also worked with the dogs. Heidi not only helped to shape the current dog walking program into what it is today, but had also been a strong partner and advocate for lowering our euthanasia rate and strengthening our lifesaving programs. She will be sorely missed by all of her KHS family. 

“Instead of a funeral or formal service, I encourage my family and friends to volunteer at an animal shelter and walk a shelter dog in my memory, or adopt a shelter dog.”
