Annual Pet Adoption Event
The Pierce College Veterinary Technology Program is currently holding its annual pet adoption event to find adoptive homes for the dogs and cats that have been used in veterinary technician student training over the past academic year.
Anyone interested in adopting an animal should contact Debbie Wong, Program Support Supervisor, at 253-964-6708 or by email at DWong@pierce.ctc.edu. All of the animals are spayed or neutered, current on all vaccines, and have ID microchips. There is a $30 adoption fee for each animal.
Individual profiles of the animals available for adoption are listed below. You can also contact Debbie if you have more detailed questions about individual animals or the adoption process itself.
Dogs
Ricotta
Hi! My name is Ricotta and I am a bit shy but a sweet 5-year-old beagle mix. I get along with all dogs, but I do get overwhelmed with those that have a lot of energy. I spend my free time snuggling, as well as running around sniffing everything. I do have a bit of a sensitive stomach, but have been doing well with sensitive stomach food and all the treats I've been given!
Please help me find my new home!
Chevre
Hey guys!
My name is Chevre but everyone just calls me Chev. I am a very happy boy who gets along with everyone I meet. I am a 5-year-old Beagle, and I've been working really hard to learn all the tricks because it's never too late to learn! I love to run around and play, but cuddling up in a warm blanket is my favorite pastime. I am excited to meet my forever companion!
Havarti
Hello, I'm Havarti and I'm only 9-months-old. I came here with my sister Swiss, and we would love a home where we can be together forever! I consider myself an American Bulldog mix, weighing about 40lbs right now. I definitely still have my puppy energy, which makes it hard to focus sometimes, but I know how to sit, stay, and lay down. I love puzzle toys, since I can use my brain and get a sweet treat in the end.
Swiss
Hi, my name is Swiss and I am Havarti's sister. Just like my sister I am a 9-month-old American Bulldog mix, however, I am a little bit more timid than her. Despite this, I still love playing with everyone and every dog that I can find! My ideal home is one that loves to snuggle, provides treats, oh! and of course has a place for my sister to stay as well!
Brie
Hi, I'm Brie! I am a 5-year- old energetic beagle. I am very smart and learn quickly. I know my sit, down, and come commands. I am affectionate to every person I meet, but I don't get along with other dogs very well. I would be best in a single pet home. I love to cuddle and get belly rubs. I hope to find my forever home soon!
Cats
Butternut Squash
Hello, I'm Butternut Squash, but most people call be Butternut. We don't know my exact age, but I'm somewhere between 5 and 7 years young. I LOVE treats! I think I would do very well solving puzzle toys in order to get those delicious treats. I am sweet and loving, but I want all the cuddles for myself. I would be best in a single cat home. I can't wait to meet my new family!
Radish
Hi, my name is Radish. I am 4-years-old and a quiet cat, but I like to be around others. I really like scratch pads to make sure my nails are healthy, and they make a good napping spot too! I might take some time to warm up to you, but once I do, I will be playful and want all the scratches. I like to chase lights, so I think I would love laser pointer toys. Would you help me find my forever home?
Sprout
Hello, I'm Sprout! I am 2.5-years-old and I love to sit at the window to look out into the world. I can be shy when first meeting people, but I warm up and love chin scratches. I am very playful and like chasing my toys. Sometimes loud noises scare me. I think a quiet home would be great for me. Would you like to be my forever family?
Plum
Hi, I'm Plum! I am almost 2 years old and have lots of energy. I love to play, especially with toys that are catnip filled and make crinkle sounds. I think a cat tree would be amazing because I love to climb and be up high. I get along great with other cats and like to relax with them in cat tunnels. I hope to find a loving home soon!
Guava
Hello! My name is Guava and I am 2-years-old. I can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but I am energetic and loving once I've warmed up. I enjoy sitting by the window and looking outside at everything passing by. I love to play with toys that I can chase, like feather toys or balls. I like playing with other cats and being social. I would love to be part of your family!
Mango
Hi my name is Mango! I am 11 months old and full of energy. I like all sorts of toys and playing with others. I am adventurous but will make time to show you my loving side. I am still learning about the world around me, so please be patient with me as I go forward. If you are looking for a sweet kitty, I am your girl!
