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.
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.

Kami is looking for that one special person to snuggle. She used to live with a single woman but once another cat and more people moved in, Kami showed her distress by peeing inappropriately. She was also required to go to the basement for her litter box. Maybe it was just too far away? Whatever the issue there, Kami’s been using the box perfectly here and while she may be a little timid at first, she soon warms up to new people. (Arleigh Movitz/Everett Animal Shelter)
