Local Pets Available For Adoption

LACEY – The Associated Humane Society shelter at the Popcorn Park Zoo has pets available for adoption.

Gus is a big, beautiful boy of about 3 years old that needs a fresh start in life! This gorgeous guy lived outdoors in his former life and once you meet Gus, you’ll wonder why that ever was. Gus is an absolute doll! All he wants to do is roll around and get loads of attention from you.

Gus is a cool, confident cat that walks into a room and acts as if he’s been there all along.

He has zero shyness about him and he makes friends very easily. Due to past incidents when he was living outdoors, we recommend a home with no kids as Gus can startle easily sometimes, but he’s good with other cats and has never shown anything other than love and sweetness to us. Gus is currently on a weightloss diet that he won’t need forever, just until he gets his bathing suit-bod back!

Call 609-693-1900, visit ahscares.org/ forked-river-adoptables or email: office@ ahsppz.org for an adoption application.
