Due to a flood of recent arrivals at the Kent shelter, Regional Animal Services of King County is looking to find good homes for lots of dogs. To help in this effort, RASKC will waive the adoption fee for adult dogs from now until May 31.

“Because we don’t euthanize adoptable pets, space can sometimes get tight at the shelter,” said RASKC Manager Ken Nakatsu.

Until May 31, the adoption fee for dogs over six months old will be waived. Residents can take home their new pet for just the cost of the license, a savings of $75 to $250. All pets from RASKC are spayed or neutered, vaccinated (including rabies vaccination), and have received a health exam. Available pets can be seen at the shelter, 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent, or online at www.kingcounty.gov/pets.

The shelter is also seeking volunteers to provide foster homes for both dogs and cats. Foster volunteers take care of pets on a temporary basis in their own homes until the pet is adopted.

To sign up for a volunteer training session, call 206-296-3946 or email pets@kingcounty.gov.
