Metro Animal Shelter

Look at these three lovely ladies that just got added to our adoption room — meet Perri, Rain, and Barley!

🐾 Perri is a 4-year-old german shepherd mix; she is dog friendly and people friendly!

🐾 Rain is a 7-month-old standard poodle/labrador mix; she is dog friendly and people friendly!

🐾 Barley is a 12-year-old pitbull terrier mix; she is dog friendly and people friendly!

All of these pups have been great with our staff and volunteers, and have played nicely with their new doggy friends at the shelter. We do not “cat test” dogs at the shelter, but our staff will share with you any information we have on the dog’s previous home life or personality; we prioritize helping you find a perfect fit for the pet that you want and for the pets that you already have!

Thank you PetCare Clinic in Puyallup for the awesome donation of pet food, supplies, and care items to our shelter and to our community pet pantry — your generosity made our day!

We are so grateful for the support of our neighboring businesses. Through donations of goods and services, they are helping ensure that our community shelter is able to continue to provide sheltering, reunification, and adoption services to the cities we proudly serve. We appreciate you!

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 ever 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!
