**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.

Meet Doug, the sweetest senior gentleman you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing! Doug is an 11-year-old neutered pup who’s ready to settle into his forever home. Don’t let his age fool you—this distinguished guy still loves a good game of fetch and will happily trot after his favorite toy. But he’s just as content to relax by your side, soaking up all the love and attention you’re willing to offer.

Doug is good with other dogs and is good with kids. His gentle nature and easygoing personality make him an instant favorite with everyone he meets.

If you are interested in meeting Doug, stop by the shelter located at 1200 39th Ave SE, Puyallup WA 98374 between 11am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday.

We know that for some people coming to an animal shelter can be very tough. You want to adopt from a shelter, but seeing all of the dogs and cats in need pulls on the heart strings a little too much.

A recent article reported that only about 30% of people acquire their pets from shelters or rescue organizations, and the number one reason people hesitate to visit an animal shelter is because they don’t want to feel sad. We get it.

But what if there was a different way to adopt a shelter pet?!?

Well lucky for you (and us!) there is!!! Our sheltering is partnering with Cattfeinated Cafe in downtown Puyallup to help adopt out cats and kittens from our shelter, including these three little cuties. Our shelter kitties get to hang out at an amazing location, and you get to meet them in that amazing location while enjoying equally amazing drinks and snacks. A true win-win!

So head over to downtown Puyallup and see what makes this partnership so special. You might just find your new best friend!

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!
