My story

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

**Adoption visits are by appointment only** If you see an animal you`re interested in, fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website https://everettwa.gov/161/Adopt-a-Pet
Roo is a 5-year-old pit bull mix weighing in at a perfect 55 lbs. This sweet boy is the total package — gentle, affectionate, and easy-going.
Roo’s Best Qualities
•House & crate trained – he’s already got the basics down
•Dog-friendly – enjoys the company of other pups
•Smart & adaptable – picks up new routines quickly
•Quiet companion – not barky, just calm and content
•Sweet temperament – gentle, affectionate, and loves to be close
Roo’s Story
Roo came into the shelter after his owner passed away unexpectedly. An elderly family member cared for him until he could be placed in rescue. When he arrived, his skin was bright red and itchy — likely due to environmental and possible food allergies. With love and care, Roo has made incredible progress. He now receives Cytopoint injections and medicated baths, which have helped his skin heal beautifully.
Ongoing Care
Roo may need continued support to stay comfortable, such as:
•A novel protein diet to minimize food sensitivities
•Occasional Cytopoint injections to manage allergies
Why You’ll Love Him
Roo is the kind of dog who makes life easier and brighter. He’s the perfect mix of playful and relaxed, happy to join in on adventures or simply curl up by your side. His foster says he’s a joy to have around — affectionate without being demanding, and always ready to learn.
Roo is ready to find his forever family! If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Roo is waiting to meet you.

- Potential adopters complete an online adoption questionnaire at https://www.everettwa.gov/161/Adopt-a-Pet .

- If approved, adopters can then interact with the animal they wish to adopt. It is best for all members of the household to meet the animal prior to going home. Note: Shelter staff reserve the right to deny any adoption if we feel it is not in the best interest of the animal.

- Renters bring rental pet policy at time of adoption. Not having the rental pet policy available may delay or nullify an adoption.

- Adopters must be 18 years or older, and have valid drivers license or photo identification.

- Pet licenses are required for dogs and cats in the City of Everett and unincorporated Snohomish County.

Go meet their pets

The adoption process begins online, and all adoptions are done by appointment only. To reduce the animals' overall stress levels, we have decided to limit animal viewing to those people with appointments for specific animals.
