Buck is a 9-year-old, 38-pound sweetheart with a snowy white coat and the most adorable brown spots on his ears — seriously, they’re heart-melting. He has a gentle, calm presence and carries himself like the good boy he’s always been. With excellent potty training and an easygoing personality, Buck fits seamlessly into any home ready to give him the love he deserves. While he has an easy-going personality with people, he has shown some selectiveness with dogs while on and off leash, a meet and greet is required for this handsome lad and any of his new potential pack mates. This handsome guy lives for two things: walks and pets. Whether he’s trotting happily by your side or leaning in for a good scratch, Buck is all about soaking up attention and enjoying simple moments with his people. Buck needs patience for his walks as seeing any other dogs can be arousing with him barking and pulling, bring treats and reassurance and he is sure to walk like a champion in no time. He’s loyal, loving, and as sweet as they come — the kind of dog who makes every day just a little brighter.
The dog adoption fee is $90. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DAPP (parvo combo), Bordetella (kennel cough), have been dewormed with Pyrantel, and have been treated with selamectin for fleas. 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.

--------------------------------------
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.
