Meet Skillet, the one-dog entrée your life has been missing—perfectly seasoned, lightly sizzled, and ready to serve up a whole lot of love. At just a year old and a hearty 68 lbs, this Pretty Pittie Committee board member takes his responsibilities very seriously: quality control on all snacks, temperature checks on sunshine spots, and thorough evaluation of every stick within a five-mile radius. (And if you’re wondering—yes, he WILL select the biggest, most impressive branch and parade it like he’s hosting his own Thanksgiving Day parade float.) Skillet is strong—like real strong—so he currently uses a harness for walks to help channel all that fresh-baked enthusiasm into something resembling a polite stroll. He knows “sit,” is probably working on “paw” (jury still out), and brings his own blend of sweet, sensitive charm to every moment. He’s a rough-and-tumble play guy who sometimes forgets he’s not a cast-iron pan built to survive anything, but don’t let that fool you—this kid has a soft, melty center. Skillet adores people, loves treats almost as much, and is just plain over being here. He’s ready to be the star of your table, the main dish, the one-dog show who doesn’t share the spotlight (or the gravy) with other pups.If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with flavor, heart, muscle, and a whole lot of goofy swagger, Skillet is ready to jump out of the shelter and into your home—hot, fresh, and finally where he belongs.
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.
