Our shelter pups have their to-do lists ready to go for today -- what's on yours???? Whether it is running zoomies or meeting your new best friend, we highly recommend coming to the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup to get it done!

The shelter is open for adoptions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Our community pet pantry will also be open during these times to receive and distribute donations of pet food and supplies.

** KITTEN CAM ** After a quick holiday break, our kitten cam is back with a silly bunch of furballs all competing to be the star of the show. We will be putting more cats on our adoption website soon, and just added four cats/kittens to our adoption room (including 1 of these rascals!) that are currently available for meet & greets and pre-adoption holds - come check them out!

On Thanksgiving Day, this sweet boy named Boone was found abandoned in a parking lot. And now, on Christmas Day, he is living his best life full of love and happiness.

Our heartful thanks to Jordyn and Andrew, and to everyone who visited our shelter this year and gave the incredible gift of a family life to a dog or cat in need. We wish you all a merry Christmas!

In the very last days before Christmas, all of these pups and kitties went from the shelter to loving homes - - in fact, so many cats were adopted that our entire adoption room was EMPTY. Now that is some real holiday magic!

Thank you Pierce County for bringing love, joy, and hope to these precious animals. We are grateful!

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, wet food for a baby kitty!

With Christmas only 3 days away, and over 50 cats and kittens spending the holiday in our shelter, wouldn't it be amazing if each one of our kitties was donated a special meal thanks to the generosity of our community?!?! And you could be a part of that!

As our kittens transition from milk to dry food, there is a critical period of nutrition in between, where they rely on good quality wet kitten food to help their bodies grow. And for us, that means we need a lot of donations of preferably Sheba and Purina Fancy Feast to make sure that the have a consistent and healthy diet -- it's good for their tummies and their growth!

If you are able to donate a gift to our kittens, whether on Christmas Day or any day of the year, you can make one right from your home by visiting our wishlist at: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/WHR9ILSJMXRB?ref_=wl_share

On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a box of dog biscuits for big and little doggies!

For every good little pup and pooch on the nice list, you know that we have to fill their stockings with treats -- so dog biscuits are most definitely on our gift list this year. Our pups favorites are from Costco in big dog and small dog sizes, so we can keep them on a consistent diet throughout the holiday season.

And did you know that not only is the Metro Animal Shelter on 39th Ave. in Puyallup... so is Costco! We are less than 2 miles down the road from Costco, so while you load up your sleigh full of holiday treats, you can toss one in for our pups too.

Thank you for helping to ensure that our community's lost and found pets are provided the very best care this holiday season!
