Will Yakima Humane Society Claim Victory Again In ‘March Muttness’?

As you get ready to pick your brackets (for your chance to score a million dollars, more information on that here), know that there’s another type of madness that is sweeping the country!

A type that Yakima won big time last year, and we’re keeping our paws crossed that we can have a repeat in 2025!

March Muttness Is Back!

March Muttness is a great virtual fundraiser that gives friendly competition while raising funds and, more importantly, awareness of pet and animal rescue shelters from across the United States!

Last year, the Yakima Humane Society did tremendously and was crowned Top Dog of 2024!

This weekend kicks off this year’s tournament with only the top 32 shelters moving on in the competition.

“Yakima Humane Society has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go for back-to-back National Championships!”
