Oh sweet Bubbles! Let's find you a home! ❤

Bubbles is back with us because the other cats in his new home just couldn't accept him. Here at the shelter he is doing great with other cats and is so playful. He's about 5 months old now and would love a second chance at finding his family!

Stop in to meet Bubbles anytime Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 4 PM! Or you can find our application at pawsandmorewashington.org/adopt!
All adoptions include spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, and a microchip.

Donner is our laid-back 10-year-old sidekick! 🐾 This mellow guy loves nothing more than sunbathing, chilling in the warmth, and occasionally batting around a toy for fun. Donner has a soft spot for treats and will patiently wait for his food. He enjoys a good pet and just wants to hang out and be your loyal companion. If you're looking for a relaxed, easygoing cat to join your crew, Donner is the purrfect sidekick! 💖

You can come visit Donner and his friends Tuesday through Sunday from 12-4 pm. They would love to see you!

We got this happy update tonight on Alf, now named Toby.

"He is settling in wonderfully! We couldn't ask for a better dog. After being afraid for a few days and spending most of his time in his kennel, now he can't get enough of snuggles and tummy scratches. He is my constant companion, and he's very smart. Not even one potty accident."

Seeing our animals thriving in their new homes is the best feeling! Keep on snuggling, Toby! 🥰

What's a Love Bug? 🐱 Or a Teacher's Pet? 🐶 They are each 1 of 9 personality types that correspond to our cats and dogs, using the Meet Your Match® Assessment. It takes the mystery out of the selection process by reliably predicting how an animal is likely to behave when they arrive in your home. It is a research-based program that pairs distinct personalities with adopters whose personality and lifestyle fit them best. We assess each animal in our care and assign the personality that best describes them. Good matches help make strong bonds, and bonding is the key to successful adoptions.

From the Couch Potato to the Life of the Party, we believe there is a right home for every personality. We invite you to take the assessment if you're looking to adopt (or if you're just curious)! ❤

Meet Your Match® is designed to increase the likelihood that newly adopted dogs and cats are a good match with their new family.

Mellow is our 1.5-year-old love bug who just graduated to the cat room today! 🤩 This sweet boy is settling in quickly and already making himself at home. Mellow loves toys and is always ready for some fun, but he’s just as happy to snuggle up when it’s time to relax. He gets along great with other cats and has a gentle, affectionate personality that’s sure to steal your heart.

Ready for her second chance, we have Church, a sweet 7 1/2-year-old girl who’s really snuggly. 🐾 Church was returned due to not using the litter box, but she seems to be doing fine with it here. We’re confident with the right environment, she’ll feel right at home again. She’s very loving with people and enjoys attention, though she’s not the biggest fan of the other cats here. However, she did live harmoniously with a kitten in her previous home! Church deserves a second chance in a peaceful home where she can thrive. 💖

Truffle is still waiting for her forever home! 🐾 She’s a laid-back and chill gal who loves lounging in the catio, soaking up the sun. Truffle gets along great with other cats and enjoys perching up high to survey her surroundings. If you’re looking for a calm and content companion, Truffle could be the perfect fit for your home! 🌞🐱
