Other Available #WhynotMEpets

Pepper, 5 yrs., Female
​  
  • I’m Pepper! I’m looking for a respectful family to give me a new home. I was the best kitty for an awesome human, but they passed away and I ended up scared and confused in the shelter. 
  • Luckily my pals at RASKC are the best and they got me into a foster home where I started to blossom. Now they all know how sweet I am! I love bird watching and hanging out with my favorite people (that could be you!!) 
  • I have Chronic Upper Respiratory Infection, so I’m a little wheezy, but as long as you keep and eye on me and take me to the vet when I need, I’ll be fine! (and my adoption comes with 30 days of Trupanion insurance so we’ll be off to a great start) 
Ricky, 5 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at Yakima Humane Society
​
  • Hi I’m Ricky, my pals at Yakima Humane tell me I’m a Chow Chow Cattle dog mix but with my beautiful coat and stubby tail I look like the cutest little bear! 
  • I was picked up as a stray but I know I’ll be a great pet, I love to go for walks and I have lots of energy to keep you active!  
  • I get along with some dog friends, but I would want to meet my new canine siblings before moving in with them so I can tell if we’re a match. I don’t want a home with any cats, dogs and humans only please!! 
Lewis, 2 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at Kitsap Humane Society

  • Hello there, my name is Lewis! Like many dogs, I love tennis balls and belly rubs. Unlike your typical pup, I have separation anxiety. When I was first adopted out, I was soo happy, but then my pals at the shelter found me as a stray, my new family having dumped me somewhere all alone. I am still learning to trust that when people leave me they are going to come back, so I have some anxiety when I’m alone. With time, love, and positive reinforcement I know you can help me work through this!! 
  • I want to be in a house with a fenced in yard where I can get my zoomies out, and I want to be the king of the castle so no animal siblings or young humans please. I just can’t wait to be spoiled by a family!!  
Your Highness Gracie, 10 yrs., Female
​
Adopt me at Seattle Humane

  • Your Highness Gracie here, I am looking for a new kingdom to kindly reign over!
  • I will purr and chirp at you to ask for love, and if I really love you I might even flop over on top of you!
  • It might take me a little bit of time for me to warm up to you, but once I do you will love to nap with me and laugh while watching me toss my toys!
Luther, 3 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at Yakima Humane Society

  • Hi!!! I am so happy to meet you! I’m happy to meet everyone, my pals at Yakima Humane tell me I’m the best, they like to let me meet new friends at the shelter so they can tell adopters which pets can go to homes with dogs. They know I am the good boy for the job because I am so friendly and sweet!  
  • I am a big active dog, so someone who has experience with lorge boys would be great! I would love to play all day with a doggie sibling, or you can take me on adventures and watch me be a social butterfly. 
  • I am great in my kennel, and I love toys and fluffy blankies so we can play all day and then take cozy warm naps together!!  
​Sissy, 10 yrs., Female
​
Adopt me at  Auburn Valley Humane Society

  • Hi! I’m Sissy, I was found as a stray and once my pals at Auburn Valley Humane Society gave me plenty of time and space, they realized I am a friendly cat who wants a family and a home!
  • New stuff is scary, I can be kind of a Sissy about changes, but once I’m used to everything I will chat to you all the time about how happy I am to be in your family! 
  • I don’t like loud and active homes, someone who lives a quiet lifestyle and wants a gentle and chatty feline friend would be perfect for me! ​
Sassafras, 14.5 yrs., Female
​
Adopt me at Homeward Pet Adoption Center

  • I am a really fun kitty, I love to play fetch and cuddling with my favorite people (only when I want to though!!)
  • I want to be the only baby in my new home, no tiny humans or other pets please!
  • Thyroid issues are very common in older kitties, and I used to have to take meds for my condition everyday. Then I got a fancy iodine treatment and now I don't need that medication anymore! I am feeling good and ready for my happily ever after!
Louie , 3 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at Kitsap Humane Society 

  • I was returned to Kitsap Humane when my owner was deployed over seas and couldn't take me along, I can be a bit anxious meeting new people but I really want to be a part of a family again. 
  • I am very active, I love to play fetch and go on runs. I want a home with a private back yard so I can get my zoomies out without being annoyed by other dogs. 
  • I don't like other dogs, and I don't like cats, sometimes I don't even like human men, but if you help me work through some of my anxiety, you will have a beautiful and adventurous doggie pal for life!
Lady Bug, 3 yrs., Female

Adopt me at Purrfect Pals

  • I am doing so well now! I am so affectionate, I can't wait to find my people and give them a big fuzzy hug!
​Max, 5 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at KARE

  • I am in desperate need of some help, a foster home or a forever home would be life changing for me. My mama abandoned me and I am currently living in a crate inside a trailer. Please contact FOSTERS@NWKARE.ORG ​if you can help foster me!
  • I have SO much energy because I am all cooped up, I can be a bit overwhelming to other dogs but I am super friendly, I could be really good buds with the right dog. 
  • I am a very sweet and sensitive soul, while I can be goofy and crazy I am very in tune with my humans emotions and I have a very comforting presence
Speckles, 12 yrs., Female
​
Adopt me at Homeward Pet Adoption Center

  • I am a very mellow gal, looking for a calm buddy to relax with!
  • When I get stressed I can have flare ups of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease, but as long as I have consistency I will be a happy healthy girl.
  • I have lived with another cat peacefully, but I'm only friends with cats who wanna live like me - with lots of chilling out and taking naps! I can be playful sometimes, but I wouldn't want to live with anyone super active. 
Savannah, 1 yr., Female
​
Adopt me at Homeward Pet Adoption Center

  • I am a very playful and curious girl, I love all kinds of toys- especially wand toys! 
  • Are you a cat superstar? I need someone who understands cats who are shy, and how to make them your friends. I can be nervous around new people and I need someone who won't give up on me! I love treats so you will have a great way to bond with me.
  • I am really comfy with having feline friends, having a kitty sibling would help me relax in my new home. I can also live with dogs if they are respectful and I am given time to adjust! However, human kids are too scary and loud for me.
Daisy, 1.5 yrs., Female
​
Adopt me at Benton Franklin Humane Society 

  • I was found as a stray by my first person, they took care of me and taught me how great living with people can be, we lived happily together for a year! Unfortunately they were unable to care for me any longer, and that's how I ended up at the shelter.
  • I lived with male and female dogs as well as male cats and we all got a long, but so far at the shelter I have been picky about my friends. 
  • I can't wait to find a new home and new people to love! 
Hoobert, 2.5 yrs., Male

Troy, 3 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at Greyhound Pets Inc

  • I am a retired racer, and I'm looking for a gentle and respectful family to take me in and show me how great it can be to be someone's pet! 
  • I am one of those animals who will make you put a little work in to win me over, but once you do you will feel so special when I pick you to lean on and come up to you to say hello! 
  • I broke my leg while I was racing and it still hurts a little, so I'm on some pain medication to help me be my best self! 
Hank, 1.5 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at Grant County Animal Outreach

  • I am housebroken, I do well with most other dogs, and have done well with indoor cats 
  • I have been adopted and returned many times, but it's not my fault. So far, nobody has really understood me. I was found as a stray so I didn't have a lot of discipline as a puppy, and I'm a hound!  
  • I'm looking for someone who really gets me, someone who is patient and kind, and who will give me a job so I have somewhere positive to spend my energy! 
​Dallas, 11 yrs., Male

​Lala, 2 yrs., Female
​
Adopt me at Seattle Humane

  • One of the BEST things about me is the very reason I've been waiting 6 months for my #fureverhome, I LOVE people SO much. Sometimes, it's really hard for me to be alone. Everyone has anxiety sometimes, I know I still deserve a family of my own.
  • I'm looking for a cozy home where I can nap while you work, snuggle with you when you need a break, and play together in a fenced yard.
  • I want to be your one and only, so we can spend time together building my confidence back up!
​Drifter, 5 yrs., Male
​
Adopt me at Wags to Riches 

  • I've had a rough life, I was found as a stray and adopted. I was soo happy to finally have a family, I was very loyal and protective of them, but they thought my personality clashed to much with their household and I was surrendered back to the shelter 
  • I love to play fetch and I'm a graduate of TWO training programs, so I'm super smart!

​Fancy, 7 yrs., Female
​

  • I'm a happy wiggly girl who loves car rides and meeting new friends!

Kenzie, 6 yrs., Female

Adopt me at Forgotten Dogs Rescue 

  • Can you say Pocket Pittie? I'm only 40 pounds but I have all the squiggly wiggly love energy of a full sized pitbull!!  
  • I am a bit stubborn and sassy like lots of pitties, but if you show me love I'll show you my excellent snuggle skills by wrapping myself in a warm blanket burrito.  
  • I can go home with a dog friend as long as my new family understands I can be a bit of a bossy-pants sometimes! ​

Oreo, 10 yrs., Male
Adopt me at RASKC

  • I’m a sweet older cat that is the best of both worlds: calm and loving, but also playful. 
  • ​I’m an easy-to-please fellow who loves everyone! I do well with other cats, dogs, and even children.​​
  • I’ve been told that I might have FLUTD, which is managed with a prescription diet, and just means that I function best in a consistent and calm environment. 

Aurora, 6 yrs., Female
Adopt me at Pasado's Safe Haven

  • Just give me a ball and a yard—and I will throw you a smile that will melt your heart, wag my tail all day long, and love you forever!
  • I also know how to chill. Isn’t lying in the sun for hours simply divine? 
  • Just a few more of my favorite things: Hikes, brain-teasers (I’m a wiley one!), swimming, obeying learned commands (I know a bunch), active households (no other doggies or kids, please)… I sure would love it if you’d make yours my forever home! 

Cherokee, 5 yrs., Female

  • At only 5 years young, I've got tons of time to have a wonderful life with you!

  • I'm looking to be the only child in the house to get all the lovin’—no other pets or smaller kids please!

Frannie & Jeager, 8 1/2 yrs. Female & 3 yrs. Male
