Puyallup- Red and white Husky found near WA-512 & 94th Ave E, A0061418253

We had so many adoptions last week that we decided to do *TWO* adoption update posts to gush over our happy news!

After a record-setting June, we are hoping that July is an even bigger month for adoptions - but it will take the help of our community! Even if you are not able to adopt, here is how you can support the only municipal shelter in Pierce County:

1) Encourage your friends to check out Metro Animal Shelter! Our low adoption fees include spay/neuter services and save you hundreds of dollars in vet bills, and our customer service is outstanding.

2) Share a post on an adoptable pet! You never know which one of your friends is looking for a new best friend.

3) Volunteer to cover a shift at the shelter! Through the love and care of our amazing volunteers, the lost and abandoned animals become transformed into adoption-ready pets.

Come check us out and see how you can help more animals like Charlie, Kenzie, and Gracie!

What does a pigeon, a puppy, a pig, and a peacock all have in common???

All four of these perfect pets came into our shelter this year as strays. The puppy, the pig, and the peacock have already been adopted... and if we can find a perfect person to adopt this King Pigeon, then we can also say all four will have found loving homes!

This pigeon is available for adoption from the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup. So if you know a birder or aviculturist who might be interested, please share or tag them in the post and help us to get this guy adopted!

Thank you Pierce County for opening your hearts and homes to all of these adorable faces! We truly appreciate every one of you who gave a dog or cat in need a second chance at a loving home.

As a reminder, here are just a few reasons why Metro Animal Shelter is the best place to adopt your next pet:

✅ Adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery and the first round of vaccinations.
✅ You'll save hundreds of dollars compared to paying separately for spay/neuter services at a veterinary clinic.
✅ Our caring staff and dedicated volunteers are here to provide outstanding customer service and help you find the right match.
✅ Our adoption process is simple and convenient—no appointment is necessary.
✅ If, for any reason, your new pet isn't the right fit for your family or current pets, you can return them to the shelter during our regular business hours. We're committed to finding the best possible home for every animal.

Before adopting a pet from a rehoming website, social media, or an organization you're unfamiliar with, please take the time to do your research. At Metro Animal Shelter, our team is dedicated to making successful, lifelong matches between pets and families. We know the animals in our care, and we're here to help you find the companion that's right for your home.

Come see why Metro Animal Shelter is Pierce County's trusted community shelter. We can't wait to help you meet your new best friend!
