Meet Sailor
Sailor is Supermom of the Year at the rescue. While nursing her own 6 kittens, she took in a 7th (orphan) and lovingly cared for it. Then after these 7 were weaned, she switched to being a surrogate mother for an entire litter of 3-week-old kittens and instantly took to them. She gently bathed, nursed, and snuggled each of these “new” 3-week-old kittens like her own, tenderly caring for each one. Sailor is an absolute sweetheart who approaches her foster mom for snuggles. She leans against her human to be pet and scratched and sometimes even crawls into her foster mom’s lap for a hug, settling down for a long stretch of purring and being pet.
Sailor is ready to be spoiled and treated like the queen that she is. She is calm, affectionate, attentive, and has a heart of gold. She is ready for her loving forever home. The person who surrendered her to the rescue described Sailor as “The best cat ever.” Please consider making this gentle, loving cat part of your family. Sailor's DOB is: 10/22/22
The adoption fee for Sailor is $109 and includes Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Pyrantel deworming, Frontline flea treatment and routine vaccinations (excluding rabies).
Meet Star Anise
Star Anise is a happy little explorer. He has the cutest white accents on his chest and belly. He is usually the first of his litter to try new things and investigate new surroundings. Star Anise is playful, confident, and curious. So far, he hasn’t met a toy he doesn’t like. This sweet adventurer arrived at the rescue with his 4 siblings. He is a good citizen and is looking for his forever home to be loved and treasured. Due to Star Anise size, he would do best in a home with children over the age of 5. DOB 10/7/2024
The adoption fee for Star Anise is $149 and includes Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Pyrantel deworming, Frontline flea treatment and routine vaccinations (excluding rabies).

Meet CHAPPO
DOB 02/28/2019
Weight: 18lbs
Little Chappo has been with us for several months, healing from a broken back leg. After a lot of downtime, his leg has since healed, but he does have an occasional limp when he runs. Chappo is full of spirit and loves his adventures. He's a happy boy that is always up for anything and would love an active family he can take adventures with. Chappo will need slow introductions when meeting new people and would be most successful in a home without young children. He has done fine with other dogs his size, but does not enjoy the company of cats. Chappo can be vocal at times and may not be suited for apartment living.
Sterno was transferred to our rescue with a broken leg. Although not 100% normal, the leg is stable and he has no problem using it. Sterno is a very active boy. He loves to play, run and jump and would love a buddy to play with in his new home and a special person to love on him every day. DOB 11/22/2020, 15lbs
Meet Pretzel
Pretzel is a miracle in the making! What once what a terrified, hissy kitty, swatting out of fear, is now a loving, sweet boy, who loves to be pet!
Pretzel came from a hoarding situation and was very unsocialized. Foster mom was determined to give Pretzel a chance but was sure it would take some time. On day 13 in his foster home, he got up the courage to come out of his hiding spot and ask for pets. Every day since, he has continued to make progress and it is such a blessing to witness!
He is a sweet, silly, affectionate boy! He loves to be pet and rub against you for love. He is definitely food-motivated which helps in gaining his trust. He loves cat trees, window watching, and playing with his toys. He enjoys the company of other kitties and would love a nice kitty to bond with!
Pretzel is still scared around strangers and will need a quiet, patient, adult-only home willing to give him the time and space he needs. DOB 01/17/2023
Pretzel deserves a loving home. Could it be you?
The adoption fee for Pretzel is $109 and includes Spay, Microchip, Pyrantel deworming, Frontline flea treatment and routine vaccinations (excluding rabies).

Ken is a big personality in a small body. He's a fun-loving Chihuahua that loves to run in the yard and play and relax in the arms of his loved ones. He’s very energetic and playful and a good match with kids. He enjoys the company of small dogs, but gets a bit of a Napoleon complex when it comes to bigger dogs. Apply to meet this little guy soon!
Kade is a bit on the shy side. He seems a bit insecure and could use some extra TLC. He is a very sweet boy. When being held he will lean into you for comfort.
Due to Kade's size, he would do best in a home with kids 5 and older. His DOB is 06/28/24. Kade comes from a litter of 7 siblings
The adoption fee for Kade is $149 and includes Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Pyrantel deworming, Frontline flea treatment and routine vaccinations (excluding rabies).

Meet Pretzel! Pretzel is a sweet, caring soul who loves every cat he meets. He always makes sure to take care of everyone around him, whether it be his foster home’s resident cat, his mama kitty roommate, or her 4 little babies who Pretzel has helped raise like his own. It’s not often you see a male cat so nurturing and gentle to tiny baby kittens but Pretzel is just that! Pretzel came to us as a kitten and has spent over a year and a half in our care (almost his whole life). He is shy and nervous around new people and takes some time to warm up, but once he trusts you, his adorable personality shines through! He is sweet, silly, and playful. He loves cat trees, window watching, and being pet. He will need a quieter home with no young kids. A kitty friend is a must for Pretzel - a playful cat or kitten would be perfect! He just needs a special person to give him the chance he deserves!
His DOB is 1/17/23.
Please share, and together, let’s find Pretzel his purrfect home before Christmas!

After a long day of work, I headed to the rescue property in Graham. As I pulled up I noticed a small dog in the front yard. I had never seen this dog, and as I got close I realized she was just a puppy. I don't know how long she had been outside for, but she was terrified. Someone snuck onto our property, inside our gated yard, and dumped their dog. No info, no note, no food or water, just dumped their puppy and left. The puppy was shaking and crying in fear. I don't know what she's been through, but she's safe now. We've been working together for a short time, and she's making tremendous strides already! But this is not the way to leave a dog with us. So many things could have gone so terribly wrong that could have resulted in this puppy becoming hurt, escaping, or worse.
On top of caring for this new pup, I am currently taking care of a number of medical dogs right now who are mostly seniors in need of lots of around the clock care and various surgeries. Our resources are extremely limited as we are not funded by the county like other shelters. We have no reliable non-variable income. We want to continue helping dogs, cats, and animals in general who need us most. It is our mission. This is where we ask for your help. Are you able to donate to help with our medical pups and general animal care right now? Or better yet, become a monthly donor! $20 a month helps us tremendously in knowing that there is a reliable source of income that we can count on from month to month! Below are links to donate! Anything you can do, helps a great deal! We appreciate you and hope you'll help us continue saving those who need us most. There are so many sweet, homeless animals out here who need us. Unfortunately funding is the only thing that holds us back from helping more. Together we can continue saving lives for many years to come!

Our Story
It was 1999 when Dr. Illina Berton began practicing veterinary medicine on East Main Avenue. Her passion for animals had been a constant throughout her life, and for the next ten years the staff of the animal hospital were frequently involved with rescue. But in 2009 Dr. Berton knew she wanted to do more. After seeing a dog named Spike online, she drove to Southern California. Spike was due to be euthanized for minor medical issues. She knew she could help. When she arrived to the shelter, her world was forever changed. Seeing the perfectly adoptable dogs being euthanized due to overcrowding, she decided to dedicate her life to saving them. Dr. Berton adopted Spike, who became nicknamed "Sunny Sky" as his gloomy days were far behind him, and soon there would be sunny skies for thousands of ill fated animals. It only seemed fitting to name our shelter after the dog who inspired what is now known as Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue & Hospital.
In 2010, Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue, a 501(c)3 Non Profit Organization was founded as Dr. Berton converted her practice into a shelter. Together the team fundraised to purchase an old city bus that cost $5,500. February 27th of 2010, the team made the 17 hour journey to the East Valley Shelter in Van Nuys and packed the bus with over 40 dogs, and drove them to safety. It was a success! With an abundance of adopters in Northern Washington, people were eager to rescue the dogs saved by the Rescue Bus. Many trips were made, and hundreds of dogs and cats were saved from overcrowded shelters. Taking advantage of the unique opportunity of having a dedicated veterinarian, the rescue was able to take on dogs and cats who needed medical care no one else was able to provide. As the shelter grew, the demand for dogs and cats in Washington grew with it.
One gloomy day, the rescue bus hit a pothole on the freeway and was irreparably damaged. It was time to retire the bus and search for other means of transportation. Soon Sunny Sky's was partnering with other non-profits and shelters willing to transport the dogs to them, by land and by air. There was never a day the shelter would go empty.
The community of Puyallup began to know the rescue as safe haven for all, often bringing many injured, homeless animals to Dr. Berton as they knew she would do her best to save them. Whether it be a goat, a pig, a turkey or crow, we've seen it all!
Today Sunny Sky's celebrates over 5,000 adoptions. It's because of the kind people who choose adoption that we are able to help those who need us the most. With no state or city funding, Sunny Sky's is constantly trying to find ways to fundraise, and help even more animals. This year, we have our goals set high as we dream of having a bigger building to help even more dogs and cats in need.
Thank you for supporting Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue & Hospital. Your support is everything to us. With your help we will change the world one paw at a time.
