Are you thinking about adopting a new pet? Here is an adoption update that you will love!

"I have always wanted to adopt a dog from a shelter and I definitely will be adopting one again in the future! And if I have any say, I would 100% come back to metro! Your whole staff that helped us that day were so incredibly kind and helpful, especially with all of the questions we had! Nova has such a big and funny personality, and a surprising amount of patience, she wants all the attention and play time and cuddles that she can get, especially from my nieces and nephew. She was exactly what my little family needed!"

Thank you Alexa for sharing your adoption story, and for choosing to visit your community shelter - we absolutely love to hear that you had an outstanding experience and that Nova is so loved!

Meet Ceyda, our farm dog who is looking for a perfect fit!

When a special breed dog - like this Anatolian Shepherd - comes into the shelter, it means that our adoption team needs to give some extra special attention to ensure that she finds a home to meet her breed-specific needs. And for Ceyda, that means life as a working dog on a farm or ranch.

Her natural instincts and working dog traits require her to go to a home with property where she has space to roam, no young children, and no access to small animals like cats, rabbits, or chickens. She is very independent and happiest to spend her days taking care of your property and livestock.

So if you have acreage, a quiet lifestyle, and a soft spot for independent, working-breed dogs, Ceyda may be your perfect match. She's steady, observant, and deeply devoted. Give her room to roam and a person to bond with, and she'll watch over your property like it's her life's mission!

With kitten season well underway, there are currently over 70 kittens and cats in the care of our shelter -- and that means a whole lot of little mouths to feed and litter boxes to clean!

It also means that we quickly go through a lot of care supplies including wet kitten food and non-clumping kitty litter. And we need your help to ensure that our shelves do not go empty and these little babies receive outstanding care until they are ready for adoption.

Want to help? We need ongoing donations of non-clumping kitty litter and wet kitten food, which can be dropped off at the shelter or shipped directly to us at:

Metro Animal Shelter
1200 39th Avenue SE
Puyallup, WA 98374

Thank you for helping our small community shelter continue to serve 7 cities throughout our county - we appreciate you!

Our magnificent Meatball, our fabulous Frank, our dashing Dan, and many more amazing animals found their forever homes this week after being adopted from the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup.

We could not be more grateful to everyone who helped in their journey from lost, abandoned, or unhoused, to now being loved for life. It takes a village; from donors to volunteers and from fosters to medical care providers, each one of you played a critical role in caring for these precious pets.

Thank you so much!
