My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hello to Max! This sweet and charming 94 lb German Shepherd is on the hunt for his forever home! And let me tell you whoever decides to adopt this pup is lucky, lucky, lucky! He's an absolute gem and has become a fast favorite of many of our shelter staff and volunteers. Why?? Well, Max is an absolute sweetheart with a heart of gold! He's an awesome cuddler who loves nothing more than snuggling up with his favorite humans after a long day. That goes double if a toy is involved! While he can be a bit shy at first, Max quickly warms up and shows his affectionate side. He's playful and enjoys engaging in fun activities, whether it's playing fetch in the yard or going for leisurely walks around the neighborhood. This guy is up for an adventure! Such a good sidekick. Max gets along well with other dogs in playgroups and is known for his friendly demeanor. If you do have another dog in the household, we encourage you to bring them along for a fun filled meet and greet! Max walks well on a leash and is always up for an adventure, but he's also content to just chill and relax by your side. What a renaissance man! Let's make Max's dream of finding a forever family a reality. Together, we can give him the loving home he so deserves and ensure that his future is filled with endless love, happiness, and cuddles! Treats never hurt either. Swing by and say hey to this cool pup! The dog adoption fee is $90. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DHPP (parvo combo), Bordatella (kennel cough), and Strongid (wormer). Our website updates every hour, but some animals may be adopted faster than we can get them updated online. If you'd like to check on the status of an animal, please call us at 360-352-2510. This is especially important if you are viewing this animal on any site other than Animal Services' website.

Additional adoption info

How much does it cost?

We sometimes have other types of pets available for adoption, such as rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and other small animals. Adoption fees vary, depending upon the animal

--------------------------------------

How do I adopt a pet?

Once you visit the shelter and select your pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. The application will include information about how you plan to care for your new friend, where he or she will live, what your expectations of the pet's behavior may be and whether pets already in your home are legally licensed.

If you do not own your home, we will need to contact the legal property owner to verify that you may have the pet you are interested in.

Certain animals will have specific adoption requirements in addition to the general requirements. These can include a fence check, no small kids, etc.

If your application is approved, you will be asked to complete several other forms including an adoption contract. This process takes approximately 30 minutes.

The pet you select will remain at the shelter for transport to the veterinarian for its spay/neuter surgery.
