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 vet-tech@pierce.ctc.edu. All of the animals are spayed or neutered, current on all vaccines, and have ID microchips. There is a $20 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
Apple (1.5 years)
Hi, I’m Apple. I’m charming and curious...and, oh so sweet (just like Apple Pie)! I'm pretty easy-going and open to all kinds of adventure. I love long walks, ear scratches and lots of pets. I’m very smart and a little mischievous! I’d love to learn new tricks. I like toys and treats (especially toys stuffed with treats – Kong, anyone?). At the end of the day, I’d like nothing better than snuggling with my special person on the couch.
Ash (1.5 years)
Hi, I’m Ash!
I’m the kind of dog who’s looking for a home with a little bit of everything: playtime, toys, friends, cuddles, and most importantly - food! I get really excited when I meet new people, but once you get to know me, I’m pretty good at matching energy. I’ve got a big heart, a big body, and a big personality!
Aspen (1.5 years)
Hi, my name is Aspen and I am a big love. I enjoy cuddles and being a couch potato. I have a lot of energy and would love to go for long walks, maybe even hiking! Playing fetch is so fun and when I am done I will flop over and let you scratch my belly.
Bonsai (4 years)
Nice to meet you! My name is Bonsai. I'm a charming, energetic little guy with big opinions! I'm looking for a home in need of a snuggler (I just love to cuddle and get pets!) I'm not a fan of the idea of sharing you with anyone, so it would be great to have a home without kids or other critters.
I tend to be a very vocal guy but don't let that put you off as I tend to warm up very quickly once I get to know you. Strangers are very scary people to me so I need a slow introduction to any friends or houseguests you may want to show me off to
Cypress (1.5 years)
Hey, my name is Cypress! I am a young and energetic guy. Do you need a hiking or running buddy? Then I am your pup! Other dogs are so much fun to be around. I’m super smart and have learned a few tricks! I love playing with toys especially if they are stuffed with treats.
Hazel (6 years)
Hello there, I'm your future best friend Hazel! I am a 6 year old female hound mix ready to go on a adventure with you! I absolutely love any toy with a squeaker, and have endless energy to play all day. I am a hound have my nose to ground.
Juniper (3 years)
Hi friends! My name is Juniper and I am a big cuddlebug after I get my ZOOMIES out. I am super smart and have been learning so many things. I am particular about my dog friends so I would prefer a home where I can be the star of the show. I don’t mind cats but they might not like me because I just really want to play with them too much. Did you say BALL?!! That is my absolutely favorite thing in the world.
Olive (6 years)
Hello, my name is Olive!
I am a 6 year old spayed female hound mix who is looking for my new home. I have a lot of energy that I want to share with the world. I need someone strong to keep up with me and a lot of toys to wear me out. I especially love chasing after balls!
Sequoia (1.5 years)
Hi, my name is Sequoia. I’m an active, young girl looking for my forever home. I’m a happy, energetic pup – I absolutely love spending time playing, exploring and making the most out of my day. I'd be a great running buddy or hiking pal! I also love to learn new tricks and exercise my brain. It would be fantastic if I could learn new things with you!
Willow (4 years)
Hello, my name is Willow and I am a 4 year old female Dachsund mix! I am the best at cuddling and snuggling under the blankets with my person. I have been around cats and we all did well together.

Hi! I am a female spayed Tortie, I am 3 years old. I really enjoy my quiet time but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy playing here and there! I love to explore new spaces full of nooks and places to jump onto. It may take some time for me to warm up but I just need to get familiar with furever home.
Marigold (2 years)
Hi, I’m Marigold. I’m a cuddly grey tabby. I'm a little shy, but once I warm up to you, we’ll have a wonderful time. I love playing with my favorite toys. And I'm great at jumping (Olympic caliber really!) – I'd love to show you how high I can leap! When I’m not playing, I’m a sweet snuggle-bug.
