‘April Drools Adoption Event’ hosted by Pawsitive Alliance

Don’t miss the upcoming ‘April Drools’ adoption event, hosted by Pawsitive Alliance. Meet over 100 great dogs and puppies from across Washington in one location. Come meet the dogs on April 10, from noon until 3 p.m., at Academy of Canine Behavior in Bothell, WA. Over 80 families found their new best friends at our last month’s Lucky Dog adoption event.

 The Academy of Canine Behavior is located at 4705 240th St. SE, Bothell, WA 98021. Directions can be found at http://www.aocb.com/contact.

Why should I adopt at this event?

More than 100 dogs and puppies of all different shapes, sizes, ages and breeds from 10 animal rescue organizations will be onsite available for adoption. Puppies, adults, small dogs, purebred and mixed breeds will be available. No need to buy a dog from a breeder and then have to pay for shots and spay/neuter, with these dogs all of that has been done and is included in the adoption price. The only thing these dogs need is a new home to love and protect them for a lifetime. Plus our dogs have a money back guarantee and are always welcome back at the shelter or rescue for any reason if it’s not a right fit for your family.
Experienced shelter staff, volunteers and trainers will be on hand to help you find the right animal for your family. The trainers will be available to answer your questions about any dog you are thinking of adopting. Shelter staff has evaluated each dog’s behavior and temperament. Adoption fees range from $150 to $250.

You don’t need to search over the rainbow for a pet this St. Patrick’s week

Hearts of gold plentiful at Regional Animal Services of King County

You won’t need the luck of the Irish to find a great pet at Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) this St. Patrick’s week. Cats and dogs of every size and color are ready for adoption at the animal shelter in Kent, Wash.
Adopting a pet from RASKC won’t cost you a lot of “green.” All pets from RASKC have had a veterinary exam, come spayed or neutered, have received all of their vaccinations (including rabies), and come with a pet license. Additionally, adult cats aged 6 months or older are available to adopt for just the cost of a pet license.
This week, Regional Animal Services is joining with Petfinder.com to help the website celebrate its 15th birthday. Many of RASKC’s adoptable pets are listed online through Petfinder.com, and can be found at www.kingcounty.gov/pets. The celebration kicks off on Tuesday, March 15 with Petfinder’s “Adopt the Internet Day.” Residents can support adoptable pets online by adding a special badge to their website, by Tweeting about adoptable pets, or by adding an adoptable pet to their Facebook page. For more information about “Adopt the Internet Day,” visit www.petfinder.com/adopttheinternet.
To try your luck and search for a treasured pet, visit the RASKC shelter, located at 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent, or view adoptable pets online at www.kingcounty.gov/pets.
