Local Pets Available For Adoption

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

Gloria is a bubbly brindle girl of about 5 years old that sure deserves a great home. She was found in a bit of a neglected state on the city streets, and she appears to have had a few litters in her day. They imagine she’s happy that that’s all behind her! Now the focus is on Gloria. She positively comes alive when you talk sweetly to her, or when you call her over to you to pet her and give her a treat or toss a ball for her. It’s as if she

Photo courtesy AHS never experienced much kindness before. She flinches a little when you reach over her head but she never acts out or anything of the sort. She would likely do best with older kids that don’t cause lots of commotion. Gloria is very gentle, mild-mannered, and well behaved. She’s good on a leash, she’s playful and active, and she seems fi ne with other well-behaved dogs too. Gloria will love you forever if you give her a chance! Call 609-693-1900, visit ahscares.org/ forked-river-adoptables/ or email: office@ ahsppz.org for an adoption application.
