Puyallup Animal Rescue

Puyallup Animal Rescue We are a nonprofit rescue group of volunteers in Pierce County, WA dedicated to finding permanent homes for cats and dogs.

We are a nonprofit rescue group dedicated to finding permanent homes for homeless dogs and cats in Pierce County, Washington. We do not operate out of a shelter, instead we rely on our network of foster homes to care for our animals until they are adopted. ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS
The first step, if you are interested in adopting one of our dogs or cats, is to fill out and submit an adoption applicat

ion. You can request an application by emailing us. A volunteer will contact you after it has been submitted to speak with you about your application and about the pet you are applying to adopt. If you rent, we require your landlord's permission to adopt a dog or a cat. We require a completely fenced yard to adopt a dog. All adopters must agree to and sign an adoption agreement. We do not adopt out pets as gifts unless the recipient is there to pick out the pet themselves. All pets are spayed or neutered before adoption. ADOPTION FEES
Kittens & adult cats are $175.00

Cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, microchipped, treated for parasites, tested for FIV and Felv, and are given the vaccinations for Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calici Virus, Panleukopenia, and Rabies (If 4 months of age or older). Dogs and Puppies are $300.00 with an additional $50.00 obedience training refundable deposit. When you complete an accredited obedience class with your new dog we will send you back the $50.00 deposit. Dogs and puppies are spayed or neutered, microchipped, treated for parasites, and are given the vaccinations for Distemper, Parvo, and Rabies (If 4 months of age or older). ADOPTION EVENT LOCATIONS
Our rescue partners with the Petsmart in Sunrise Village located at:
10309 156th St E,
Puyallup, WA 98373. Our adoptable cats and kittens are at the Sunrise PetSmart every day for potential adopters to meet with and visit in the cat room. Some of our adoptable cats stay in foster homes and so they are not available for viewing at PetSmart. Please check our Petfinder Pet List to see all of our cats that are available for adoption. Our adoptable dogs are in foster homes and they are brought to adoption events which are normally on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month at the Sunrise PetSmart. Dogs are also brought to PetSmart's special adoption events. Please contact us and not PetSmart to verify adoption status if you are interested in a specific pet. VOLUNTEERING
We are a foster home-based adoption agency for our dogs and cats. We rely on our network of volunteers to care for the animals until they find permanent homes. If you would like to foster for us, please email us and request a foster application! If you are unable to foster, there are other opportunities, such as attending and helping out at our bi-monthly adoption events. Please send us an email if you are interested! DONATIONS

Speedy is a 2 year old spayed female, longhair , black and white cat.

Speedy is a sweet, friendly young cat. She wants to be around people. She seeks attention and loves to be petted and brushed. She will meow a greeting or answer to her name, however she is generally quiet.

She is curious and loving, though skittish at first. She quickly want to know what is going on. She is very friendly and open with humans very quickly. But new situations and objects take a minute. But she definitely wants to know what things are and while she is curious, she will explore cautiously.

She doesn’t like being away from her person. She likes to be where you are, usually sprawled out so she can be properly admired.

Though she doesn’t love being help, she allows herself to be picked up. She prefers being petted over snuggling.

She is not a big lapcat yet, she might change her mind in the future.

She is a laid-back cat for the most part. She doesn’t play too much, though she likes her cat-nip ball.

We do not know how well she likes other adult cats. She cares very much for her kittens.

She is wary but curious about the dogs in her foster home. She would be fine with a dog that leaves her alone or is respectful.

We do not know how she would be with small children.

Speedy would love a family who has time to spend with her and give her the attention that she craves for being a very loving cat. She might do well in a multi-pet household as long as she is given the time to acclimate.

Her adoption fee is $200.

All cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested for FIV&felv, and have been treated for parasites.

COURTESY POST!
✨ ADOPTION AD — Meet Shirley! ✨
Breed: Belgian Malinois mix
Age: Unknown
Status: Chipped, legally surrendered, blue spay mark present
Medical Records: None available
Shirley is a gorgeous, high-spirited Malinois who is so ready for her forever person! She came to us chipped, and after contacting her original owner—who made no effort to reclaim her for over a month—she is now legally ours to place in a loving home. She does have a blue spay mark on her belly, indicating she was likely spayed previously.
🌟 About Shirley
Shirley is an absolute ball of energy wrapped in a sweet, affectionate personality. She LOVES to play—especially fetch! She’ll chase the ball, bring it right back, and be ready for the next round in a heartbeat. But don’t let her athleticism fool you; she can just as easily settle in for quiet snuggles and soak up attention.
She’s curious, intelligent, and eager to engage with the world around her. Shirley is the kind of dog who thrives with someone who appreciates both her bright mind and her playful spirit.
🌼 What We Know:
• Very energetic, playful, and loves interaction
• Great retriever—she’ll bring the ball right back to you
• Loves to snuggle when it’s time to relax
• Inquisitive and eager to bond
• Not aggressive toward other dogs—wanted to play with two small seniors she briefly met
• Has not been around children
• Has not had opportunities to be indoors due to our sensitive cats
• Would benefit from a home experienced with active, smart working breeds like Malinois
🏡 What She Needs:
A committed adopter who can give her the attention, activity, and consistency she deserves. She would thrive with:
• Space to run and play
• Training, structure, and a job to do
• Someone who understands the breed’s high energy and intelligence
• A home without cats (or with very careful introductions)
• A family ready to help her blossom into the incredible companion she’s meant to be
💛 Why She’s Looking for a Home:
We adore Shirley, but we simply cannot give her the lifestyle or indoor time she needs due to our cats. She deserves more than we can offer, and we want her to have the fulfilling, loving life she’s waiting for.
If you’re familiar with Malinois—or ready to fall in love with one—Shirley may be your perfect match.

***AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION***

Zippy & Volt are a pair of 4 month old, neutered male kittens.

Both are black with white kittens with tuxedo markings. Zippy has a black chin, while Volt has a white chin, so they can easily be told apart from one another.

Both kittens are curious and playful and sweet. And at times, they both get crazy zoomies!

He is confident after he gets comfortable in new situations, initially, he can be shy.

They doesn’t like being held, and would rather play. After he has played, he with snuggle right against you.

Both will sit in your lap after they have exhausted themselves from playing.

Both brothers are very playful and during their waking hours of the day, they can seen zooming around and chasing each other.

Both love playing with toys, including feather wands and chasing after small fabric mice or in paper bags. Volt will at times bury his toys in the litterbox! Zippy loves paperbags!

These brothers have only been around their mother, who has taught them basic manners. They would need a slow introduction to new cats.

They are curious about the sound of dogs in their foster home, however they have not shared space with them yet.

Volt and Zippy have not met any children in their foster home, we do not know how they would react to small humans. They would need a slow introduction and handling by respectful children.

This pair of brothers would like to be adopted together! They would do well in a home with a family who would give them the time they need to warm up and be patient, allowing them to acclimate to their new surroundings. They are active and playful, a family who can provide plenty of attention would be great for them!

The adoption fee is $500 for this wonderful pair.

All cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, negative for FIV&felv, and have been treated for parasites.

Meet Chestnut – The Comeback Queen!
1.5-year-old Shepherd • Loyal • Smart • Gorgeous • Ready for Her Fresh Start
Chestnut isn’t just a dog—she’s a story of resilience, heart, and a whole lot of hope. This beautiful shepherd girl has been through more in her short life than most pups ever should. You may recognize her from earlier posts, but guess what? Chestnut has blossomed in her new environment and rehabilitation program, and the transformation is incredible.
Now, she’s learning how to be a young, trustful pup again—discovering joy in toys, soaking up comfort from her favorite humans, and showing just how wonderfully teachable and loyal she can be.
Why You’ll Fall in Love with Chestnut:
Fantastic progress: She’s come SO far and continues to amaze everyone.
Loyal & protective: She bonds deeply and will be an incredible guardian and companion.
Super smart: This girl is eager to learn and thrives with guidance.
Loves her people: She doesn’t do well in kennels or tight spaces, but she LOVES lounging near her humans and her beloved toys.
Still healing: She’ll need patience, understanding, and someone confident with shepherd breeds to help her continue her journey.
Chestnut is ready for a committed adopter who sees the diamond she truly is—someone who will embrace her growth, celebrate her victories, and give her the safe, loving home she’s been waiting for.
If you’re experienced with shepherds and want a fiercely loyal, smart, and heart-melting companion… Chestnut is your girl.
