For the third time this year, our shelter has gone over capacity for dogs due to a high number of unclaimed stray dogs. Here is how you can help...

- Share these posts to your community social media groups to help us try to reunite these dogs with their owners. By posting to neighborhood pages and lost pet pages, we can find owners and create kennel space to house dogs in our care.

- Report incidents to animal control when you believe that a dog being abandoned. Helpful information is names, addresses, and license plates. Sadly we are seeing lots of dogs being abandoned in parks and business parking lots, so having our community be on the lookout helps us to investigate and identify the owners.

- Adopt a dog from our shelter, or if you aren't able to adopt, please share posts on our adoptable dogs. We know that not everyone has the space or time to adopt a dog, but you never know which one of your friends might be willing and able to open their heart and home to a pup in desperate need.

Thank you for supporting your community shelter. We are the only animal shelter serving the 7 Metro cities throughout Pierce County, so we need the help of our community to ensure that we can continue to provide housing and care for the lost, abandoned, and neglected/abused pets in these cities.
