**URGENT KITTEN SAFETY MESSAGE** Found kittens and not sure what to do?!? Do not bring them to the shelter immediately. The shelter is currently overwhelmed with litters of very young kittens being brought in without their mamas, and it is impacting the safety of these kittens. Please call our staff first so we can help assess the situation and advise on what is best for the kittens.If you have found newborn or young kittens, please leave them alone! Mama cats are very protective of their kittens and rarely abandon them; if you don’t see the mama, they are probably close by their babies and will be back soon. Newborn kittens are especially vulnerable when separated from their mamas, and will struggle to survive without them.Want to help our kittens?!? We are seeing unprecedented numbers of kittens being brought into our shelter. We urgently needs donations of non-clumping kitty litter, wet kitten food, and dry kitten food; donations can be dropped off or shipped directly to our shelter.

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!

**ATTENTION VISITORS OF PUYALLUP PARKS**

Over the past three weeks, Metro Animal Control Officers are seeing a significant number of unclaimed dogs being found in parks throughout the City of Puyallup, including Wildwood Park, Clarks Creek Park, and Bradley Lake Park. Many of these dogs are suffering from several issues including malnutrition, skin and/or ear conditions.

While some of these dogs may be lost, we believe that a majority have been abandoned and our Animal Control Officers are looking for information on who they belong to. Officers are also asking the community to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity in the area parks and be certain to share your observations with them by emailing: animalcontrol@sumnerwa.gov

If you would like to help provide support and care for these dogs, we are in need of donations of Costco Kirkland brand dry puppy food and dry adult dog food, as well as Purina One wet puppy food. Donations can be dropped off at the shelter any time before 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

Thank you for your help!
