Are you are looking to adopt a smaller dog that is playful and absolutely loves companionship? If so, then I'm your guy!

My name is Benji, and I love love love people!!! My family brought me to the shelter a couple of weeks ago when their living situation changed, so I'm hoping to find a new family that has room in their hearts for a friendly guy like me. I came from a house with kids, so I'm good around them and I'm very social.

The nice people at the shelter have tried to guess what combination of breeds that I am, and they think maybe some cattle dog, maybe some chihuahua, and who knows, maybe a bit of corgi too - what is your best guess?!?! Whatever it is, I'm on the larger end of what is consider "small dogs" but will still make a darn good lap dog.

I do get sad when I am left alone, and I would really love to be adopted by someone who is retired or works from home. So if you are a home-body that is looking for a home-buddy, please come see me at the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup!

We are so grateful for everyone who visited the shelter this week, gave a doggy or kitty in need a chance, and in return gained unconditional love for years to come.

Pet adoptions can sometimes be tearful events. Tears from an adopter who lost a beloved pet is preparing to again open their heart and home. Tears from a volunteer who has poured hours of their time into playing, snuggling, walking and grooming a dog or cat in hopes of helping them be ready for adoption. Tears from a staff member who wished and prayed that these sweet faces would know a life outside of the shelter and inside a loving home.

Happy tears for Bella Marie, Sprout, Celine, Astra, Pickle, Camero, Turnip, and all of the other dogs and cats that found a forever home this week. We are overjoyed for you and your new families!

Shhhhh!!!! Something special arrived at the shelter earlier this week - just look at how tiny these newborn kittens are!

These kittens will spend the next 8-10 weeks in our nursery with their mama (see video in the comments), gaining weight, and being socialized by our amazing team of staff and volunteers. After reaching weight, receiving vaccinations, and being spay/neutered, these kittens will be ready to be moved into our adoption room just in time for Christmas.

What would you name these four Christmas kitties?
