Plentiful Pets: Shelter temporarily waives dog adoption fees

Regional Animal Services also seeking foster families for animals
Due to a flood of recent arrivals at the Kent shelter, Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) is looking to find good homes for lots of great dogs. To help in this effort, RASKC will waive the adoption fee for adult dogs from now until May 31.

“Because we don’t euthanize adoptable pets, space can sometimes get tight at the shelter,” said RASKC Manager Ken Nakatsu. “By temporarily waiving the adoption fee for adult dogs, we’re hoping to get more of them into loving, permanent homes. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for a new member of the family.”

Until May 31, the adoption fee for dogs over six months old will be waived. Residents can take home their new pet for just the cost of the license, a savings of $75 to $250. All pets from RASKC are spayed or neutered, vaccinated (including rabies vaccination), and have received a health exam. Available pets can be seen at the shelter, 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent, or online at www.kingcounty.gov/pets.

The shelter is also seeking volunteers to provide foster homes for both dogs and cats. Foster volunteers take care of pets on a temporary basis in their own homes until the pet is adopted.

“Fostering a dog or cat is easy to do, and we provide almost everything you need,” said Sarah Luthens, manager of volunteer programs at RASKC. “The pet benefits from being in a family environment, you benefit from having a loving, if temporary, companion, and it reduces the space crunch at the shelter.”
Prospective foster volunteers need to complete an application and attend a 90-minute training session. Once an animal is placed in a foster home, RASKC provides pet food, cat litter, a litter box, and medical care for the pet at no cost to the foster family.

Additional foster homes are needed for kittens and puppies that are too young for adoption, pets recovering from surgery or other ailments, or animals that need a break from the shelter environment as they wait for their forever home.

Foster training sessions will take place:

• Thursday, May 19
• Thursday, June 2
• Thursday, June 9 
• Thursday, June 16
• Thursday, June 23

All sessions run from 5:30-7 p.m. at the shelter, 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent. To sign up for a session, call 206-296-3946 or email pets@kingcounty.gov.
