Can you adopt one of these pets?

The Everett Animal Shelter hosts thousands of stray and unwanted animals every year. Some are adopted right away, but some sit in the shelter for weeks at a time, waiting for a home. The shelter has dogs and cats, as well as some rabbits and birds, all looking for a loving home.

All pets are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and given a identifying microchip before they are adopted. Take a look at some of the dogs, cats and other animals that are available for adoption at the shelter now. Here is the most recent post featuring animals up for adoption.

If you’re interested in adopting an animal, the shelter is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 425-257-6000.

Mercedes can be shy, but she does warm up over time. Her previous owner said she even got along with the family dog. She’s independent and will play alone with her toys, but she has also been okay with human interaction and occasional petting. She was treated for fleas, and her coat is coming back in.

Mister is a young, independent, laid-back sort of cat, just two years old, who tested positive for FIV. FIV is unique to cats, often contracted during fights with outdoor feral cats, and it affects the immune system. He can still live a long, happy life in the right home, away from non-FIV cats. He also came in with an injured leg that seems to be healing well. (Jon Annis / Everett Animal Shelter)

Mistow is a friendly fellow, patiently waiting for a new home. He tested positive for FIV, which is unique to cats and affects the immune system. He can still live a long, happy life in the right home, away from non-FIV cats. (Jon Annis / Everett Animal Shelter)
