Story
Hi there, My name is Momo and I can`t wait to meet you!I weigh ~50 lbs and am considered a `large breed` dog.I am a very smart dog! At the shelter I am practicing how to `sit`, `come`. Though Huskies are known to be both stubborn and intelligent.I am an affectionate lovebug. I love my people and the attention that they give to me. Though I also love to do my own thing as well.I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.My caregivers have noticed that I seem to do well with other large dogs. I am barrier reactive when meeting them, but once in the yard with them I calm down and do better. I do better with another calm dog that is willing to give me my own space and respect my boundries (a dog that knows doggy body language). When meeting dogs in a new home, I would do best with a slow introduction.I`m a Playgroup Pal! Ask the staff today about my interactions with other dogs at the shelter in our Playgroups.I am currently in a foster home. If you want to meet me please fill out a foster interest form! In my foster home I get along with men, women and children :)I am an adaptable dog who loves to go with the flow! I am outgoing and carefree, and I just can`t wait to find my forever home!

Hi there, My name is Peter and it is an absolute pleasure to meet you!I weigh 52 lbs and am considered a `medium breed` dog.I am a very smart dog! At the shelter I am practicing how to `sit`, `stay`, `down`, `speak`, `shake` (both paws) and i`ll even sit pretty for treats. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy. I love fetch, working on new commands, maze feeders, and puzzle toys!I am an independent dog who likes to do my own thing! I like to get pets on my own terms but when I am done I would like my space respected. I need a home with no children under the age of 12 years old. During my time here at the shelter I have shown that I like to have my space when I want it. A home that has Heeler experience would be the best home for me!You can visit me at the Pet Adoption Center on weekdays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The Pet Adoption Center is located at 21615 64th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032.Come and visit me today, I`d love to go home with you!

Story
Ivy is the sweetest 3 yo Staffordshire Terrier that I've ever had the pleasure of taking care of. I actually found her tied up at a 7/11 when she was only 5 months old with a free dog sign, and brought her home with me. Life circumstances have changed and I am moving out of state in August, so I am looking for a loving home for her to go to. She's very well behaved and sweet to every person she meets. She loves going on walks in nature and in the city, and loves playing fetch more than anything. She also loves playing tug of war, but she's really strong and always wins. A few adjectives to describe Ivy: Loving, Goofball, Energetic, Sweet, Cuddlebug

Story
Hi, my name is Casey and I`m available for adoption! I am a big, sweet, spunky boy looking for my forever home!I`m a 4yr 6mo old male tricolor Siberian Husky/Austrailian Cattle Dog (ID #A688745). I was brought in by a good samaritan on December 6, 2025. At 72.5lbs I am considered a large breed dog. I am a very happy boy with a zest for life! I love to play, but also have a sweet and affectionate side. I am very treat motivated and will happily sit for them. Im so smart! This will be very helpful when teaching me new tricks!I would do best in a home with older children, sometimes I dont realize my own size! Can you blame me? Im just excited:) My caregivers have noticed that I seem to do well with other large dogs! When meeting dogs in a new home, I would do best with a slow introduction. I would also prefer a home without cats or other small animals.I am neutered, current on vaccinations, and microchipped! I was nominated for Pet of the Week on December 30, 2025. This means that my adoption fee has been reduced! This adoption fee includes a King County pet license (if applicable). This helps my safe return home should I become lost, and comes with additional benefits such as Vacation Pet Alert, Free Ride Home and more (visit our pet licensing page for more info)!If you are looking for an playful and affectionate boy to add to your family and are ready to fall in love with my pawesome self, please come down to RASKC to visit me! You can find out more about me and my other friends on our website at www.kingcounty.gov/adoptapet. Also look for me on Instagram with #caseykingcountypetsa688745. You can find out more information on our adoption process on our website as well. If you have more questions, you can contact RASKC via phone at 206-296-7387 (PETS) or email pets@kingcounty.gov.

Story
Hi! My name is Lila and I am available for adoption.Once you look into my sweet brown eyes you will fall in love with me!I was brought in by my previous owner on 12/26/25 because they were moving and could not take me with them. I lived in a home with children of all ages. My previous owner described me as sweet, shy, and smart. I am a kind and loving girl and just want attention! I am very much a people pleaser and just want to make you happy!At RASKC you can find me chillin on my bed! Some may say im a couch potato! But I also love to be walked by our amazing volunteers and caregivers! They say I am very good at walking on a leash and wait patiently for you to put my leash on!I keep a very clean kennel and staff says I am gentle with my stuffed animals!They also like to joke that I love to east my veggies!My ideal home is one without small animals, I do have a bit of a pray drive! Its just an instinct of mine! I also dont like other dogs and would like to be the queen of my own castle! I have been known to resource guard, meaning that I am displaying behavior that is intended to convince other dogs to stay away from a particular treasure or `resource.` The resource that I tend to guard is food. This just means that once I have a particular resource I do not want you too close or take it away from me! This behavior can be easily managed and staff has lots of good pamphlets on this! I am a gentle and loving dog who likes to take things slow. I may get nervous in new situations, so I am looking for a family who understands that I might take some time to warm up. Once I get to know you, I will be a very devoted friend! Come check me out I am potty trained, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed and my toenails have been trimmed!
