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 previous 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.

Bella is a high- energy dog looking for a home that can provide for all her exercise needs. She will need a meet and greet with any resident dogs and a feline free home. This sweetie is not suited for apartment style living and will need a large securely fenced yard. (Curt Story/Everett Animal Shelter)

Bruce is an independent guy. He is looking for a cat free home. It does take him a little bit of time to adjust to his new surrounding but once he is settled in he is a friendly but still independent guy. (Arleigh Movitz/Everett Animal Shelter)

Jax has been an outstanding boy during his stay here. He does NOT enjoy the company of other dogs. His scarring on his face shows us that he has had his fair share of trouble. Jax will need secure fencing and an active lifestyle (no apartments or condos). He would enjoy long walks, playing ball, hiking or maybe some agility. We do not know how he is around children, so he will need to meet children living in the home before his adoption. Jax will also need a feline free home. (Curt Story/Everett Animal Shelter)
