Local Pets Available For Adoption

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

Hilfiger is an 8-month-old coonhound that we can’t say enough about! This happy puppy needs a great family to grow up with. He’s over-the-top happy, sweet, loving, and friendly.

Full disclosure: he ain’t nothing but a hound dog! He has the typical, “aaa-roooohhh” hound dog bark and howl, and he’s going to stop and sniff everything he passes by. Hound-dog-people know what we’re talking about and you’re going to love him all the more for it!

How this adorable, well-behaved dog became a stray is beyond us. He’s had lots of training already and will sit and lay down immediately when asked. He walks well on a leash and takes treats gently. He runs after every ball that you throw but doesn’t know much about squeaky toys. He’s happy meeting other well-mannered dogs too! Call 609-693-1900, visit ahscares.org/ forked-river-adoptables/ or email: office@ ahsppz.org for an adoption application.
