**The Shelter Dogs Your Family Needs -- Meet Rico & Nico!**

Are you looking to add one or two pint-sized pups to your crew? Needing some buds to help with the suds??? Well then you should pop over to our shelter to meet Rico and Nico!

These two bubbly buddies came into the shelter as strays, and we’d love to see them find forever homes where they can soak up all the best that life can offer. And while these two chihuahuas can’t actually wash your dishes for you, they would make great company for you and will lift your spirit anytime it starts to sink.

Here’s the dish on these two guys… Nico is approximately 4 years old and black/white, and Rico is 11 years old and black/silver, and they are both currently available for adoption at the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup. They can be adopted as a set or as individuals, and their adoption fees cover their neuters, first round of shots, microchips and pet licenses – so basically everything but the kitchen sink!

**The Shelter Dog Your Family Needs -- Meet Zuko!**

Your family needs a dog, and our buddy Zuko is the go to guy for you! This perfectly polished pup will brighten your outlook and make your world shine with his sparkling personality.

And while he can’t actually wash your windows, just imagine how great it would be come home after a long day and to see Zuko looking out your window, with a giant doggy smile and all the tail wags waiting for you!

Zuko is a 2 year old male cattle dog mix, and currently available for adoption at the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup. If you can see yourself being the right match for Zuko, then now is the time to squeak a few minutes into your day for a meet & greet!

Five more dog adoptions needed to meet our kennel capacity goal!

Thanks to our friends at Seattle Humane Society, our buddies Anubis and Cyra have been transferred to their facility for help finding their forever homes... but just as quickly as they were moved out, we had more lost and abandoned dogs come in to fill those kennels.

We need our community to come to our shelter in Puyallup today and tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., meet & greet these amazing pups, and give them loving homes. Can you be that hero for Cedar, Magnolia, Honeydew, Zuko, or Koa?

You might be wondering, your website shows 5 dogs available for adoption, but your social media says you are full - is that correct?!? What you can't see is the behind-the-scenes reality of animal shelters and rescues. For a small facility like us, "5 dogs available for adoption but full", means that there are another 15-20 dogs that are being held in our facility because they are on stray holds, they have medical needs that are being treated, their owner is hospitalized or in custody, they are too young to be adopted, or they are being held for an animal control investigation (bite quarantine, abuse/neglect, abandonment, etc.).

So it is critical that our dogs that are adoption-ready find homes. Each adoption ensures that we can continue to provide safe, warm, and secure housing for pups in need. Thank you for continuing to share our information - we know that a perfect match for these dogs is just one share or click away!
