Local Pets Available For Adoption

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

Donovan is a big puppy-dog of about 2 years old that would positively love a family that will take him on adventures, play fetch with him, and maybe even take him for a swim. He has some lab in him, so he would love all of that, plus, he’d love just being with you.

Donovan adores everyone he meets so it’s a mystery as to how he became a lost and lonely stray. He’s happy to be cared for now and he’s never looking back. Donovan is a curious, active guy that’s had some training in his life. He’ll walk nicely on a leash once he gets some energy out, and he takes anything you offer him very gently. He loves to take off zooming after a toy or tennis ball, and he’ll bring it right back to you. Donovan is big, boisterous, and bouncy, so he may do best with larger dogs and sturdy kids!

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