Metro Animal Shelter

Hooray for all of the cats and dogs that were adopted this week from our shelter – including all of these adorable faces!

We love it when the same families come back to our shelter time and time again to find a perfect pet. Here are a few reasons they have told us why:
– Low adoption fees that include spay/neuter
– An adoption process that is quick but also thorough
– Meet & greets facilitated with children and dogs already in the home
– Outstanding customer service from staff and volunteers
– Peace of mind knowing that if the new pet isn’t a perfect fit, we will take the pet back the next business day

Come and see why our community shelter is the very best place to find your next fur baby!

Mark your calendars for one of our favorite days of the year – it’s the annual Subaru Loves Pets adoption day!

On Saturday October 10 from 11am to 3pm, we are partnering with our friends at Subaru of Puyallup for special adoption prices, gifts, and surprises. This event is made possible by an amazing grant from the ASPCA and Subaru, and our hope is to have every dog and cat in our adoption rooms find a loving home thanks to their support.

We hope to see you there!

With more litters of kittens being brought into the shelter daily, we are in need of support from our community. We are specifically needing donations of the following items, which can be dropped off or shipped directly to the shelter:
– non-clumping kitty litter (preferably Tidy Cats or Fresh Step brand)
– wet kitten food (preferably Sheba and/or Fancy Feast brand)
– dry kitten food (preferably Purina or Iams brand)

Our wishlist links are posted in the comments, so you can quickly and easily donate one of these critical care supplies. Thank you so much for continuing to support the only shelter that serves the cities of Puyallup, Bonney Lake, Edgewood, Pacific, Algona and Sumner.

While a vast majority of our adoptions are dogs and cats, we do occasionally have some extra special guests at the shelter who are looking for loving homes. And September was certainly one of those times, as we cared for and adopted out chickens, lizards, turtles, and snakes – oh my!

Can you guess which one of these animals we have *not* had in the shelter so far this year?
– goat
– chicken
– pigeon
– giant tortoise
– tarantula
– peacock
– guinea pig
– snake
– pig
– box turtle
– rabbit
– lizard

Who knows what we will see next, and what could be your special or unique pet!
