My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Onyx is a handsome 5-year-old black German Shepherd with a heart full of love and a spirit ready for adventure! This big boy is an enthusiastic explorer who loves to sniff around on walks, so be prepared for some playful pulling on the leash. He's eager to discover the world around him, and every outing is a new opportunity for fun!

Onyx came to us with another dog, and while he may enjoy the company of fellow canines, he appreciates his personal space, especially when it comes to food. A home with a little structure during mealtime will make him feel comfortable and secure.

With his strong build and playful demeanor, Onyx would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He's looking for someone who can match his energy and share in his adventures, whether that's long walks, hikes, or playtime in the yard.

If you're ready to welcome a loyal companion who's always up for exploring, Onyx might just be the perfect fit for your family! Come meet him today and see if you're destined to be adventure buddies for life!

The dog adoption fee is $90. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DAPP (parvo combo), Bordatella (kennel cough), have been dewormed with Pyrantel, and have been treated with selamectin for fleas.

Our website updates every hour, but some animals may be adopted faster than we can get them updated online.

If you'd like to check on the status of an animal, please call us at 360-352-2510. This is especially important if you are viewing this animal on any site other than Animal Services' website.

Additional adoption info

How much does it cost?

We sometimes have other types of pets available for adoption, such as rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and other small animals. Adoption fees vary, depending upon the animal

--------------------------------------

How do I adopt a pet?

Once you visit the shelter and select your pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. The application will include information about how you plan to care for your new friend, where he or she will live, what your expectations of the pet's behavior may be and whether pets already in your home are legally licensed.

If you do not own your home, we will need to contact the legal property owner to verify that you may have the pet you are interested in.

Certain animals will have specific adoption requirements in addition to the general requirements. These can include a fence check, no small kids, etc.

If your application is approved, you will be asked to complete several other forms including an adoption contract. This process takes approximately 30 minutes.

The pet you select will remain at the shelter for transport to the veterinarian for its spay/neuter surgery.
