- How about a small dog? Meet April!
- Wanting a puppy? Meet Callie and Gracie!

We urgently need to have these dogs adopted into loving homes so our shelter can have kennel space for lost, abandoned, and neglected/abused dogs. We are the only shelter for 7 cities throughout Pierce County, so when we are full, there is nowhere else for dogs to go. If you have room in your heart and home, please come visit these pups today to see who's a perfect match for you!

Three more amazing dogs have been added to our adoption area, including our furry friends Tipsy, April, and Raven. We would love to have them find forever homes as soon as possible -- maybe you could be that special someone they are waiting for?

Tipsy is a 4 year old staffy terrier mix, who came into our shelter as a stray two weeks ago. He is a very affectionate pup who loves people and cuddles. He has done well playing with other dogs here at the shelter, and would truly shine as the only dog in the home where he can be the center of your world.

April is estimated to be a 1 year old shiba inu mix, who came into our shelter as an unclaimed stray on April Fools Day - no joke! She is very sweet and playful, while also very gentle. April absolutely thrives on affection and loves belly rubs, and has done well with being around other dogs at the shelter.

Raven is a 2 year old black lab/retriever mix that also came into the shelter on April 1. She is gentle and a bit shy, but quickly warms up into a loyal and affectionate companion. Raven has been great around larger dogs, but she isn't the biggest fan of smaller animals to include cats. We think that a quiet, peaceful home would be perfect for her gentle personality.

Any of these pups sounds like a perfect match for you?!? The shelter is open today starting at 11 a.m. and we would love to introduce you to these or any of our other dogs that are available for adoption.

It's no secret that medical care for pets is very expensive, and it can be very challenging to pay for treatments and medications for sick or injured pets. When dogs or cats come into our shelter with special medical needs, we depend on our Friends at your Metro Animal Shelter to provide financial support for critical care.

And they need your help! Please visit their page to learn more about how you can volunteer for their organization, become a F.A.Y.M.A.S. member, or make a donation that will 100% be used for medical care of animals at our shelter. They are a trusted local 501(c)3 non-profit, with no paid employees, and many of them volunteer at our shelter and foster animals for us.
