**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.

Our senior pup Doug is looking for a forever home - could you be the one that he is patiently waiting for?

Check out the reviews from one of our amazing fosters, who took Doug on an overnight vacation from the shelter:

"Meet Doug, an 11-year-old Husky mix with a gentle spirit, a sharp mind, and plenty of love left to give!

Doug recently enjoyed an overnight break from the shelter and was a wonderful guest. He is house-trained and slept quietly all night on a dog bed without making a peep. he is unusually quiet for a Husky, and that was certainly true during his stay.

This friendly senior enjoys meeting new people, spending time outside, going for walks, playing with kids, and taking car rides. He is good with other dogs, and is very interested in cats... so a cat-free home might be the best fit. Doug is very smart and treat-motivated, which should make training fun and rewarding. He already knows sit, lie down, shake, and probably has a few more tricks up his furry sleeve!

If you are looking for a curious, clever, friendly companion who enjoys adventures as much as a peaceful night's sleep, Doug may be your perfect match."

Sound like the special senior you have been looking for? Come meet Doug today at the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup!
