Exciting news!!!! Thanks to an incredible donation from our non-profit partners Friends at your Metro Animal Shelter, on Saturday October 10th we will be providing **free** pet microchipping services (normally $35 per pet!).

This quick and **free** service will give you the peace of mind in knowing that if your pet is ever lost, it can quickly be reunited with you — many times without every needing to go into the shelter. Nearly every rescue group, veterinary office, animal control and shelter carry microchip scanners. So as soon as your pet is found, it can be scanned for a chip, we will get your phone number, and then your beloved pet can be returned home.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity, which only comes once per year! No pre-registration required, just be certain that when bringing your pets to the shelter for their free microchip that they are on a leash or in a pet carrier. You must also bring proof of ownership (vet records, adoption records, etc) with you, and have a current pet license to be eligible to receive the $35 microchipping service for free.

Don’t have a pet license?!? You can purchase one our website before the event, or our staff can help you to purchase one when you arrive at the shelter. Please help us to help you — and especially to help your pet — through licensing and microchipping. It is by far the most effective way to get lost pets reunited with their owners!

Thank you so much to everyone who donated kitten food to our shelter, which ensured that our immediate needs were met. We are still in need of kitty litter, with a goal to get 10 more bags of non-clumping kitty litter donated to the shelter this week. These can be purchased at local discount grocery stores for less than $15 – and each bag contains close to 50 pounds of kitty litter!

And speaking of donations… if your school, business, scout troop, HOA, or other group is looking to do a supply drive during the holidays, we would love to have our cats and dogs be on your list! Our team can provide you with flyers, social media graphics, shopping lists, or giving tree tags to kick off your pet supply drive. Drop us a private message to learn more and thank you for your support!

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!
