Season of Helping Orphaned Pets Everywhere (HOPE)

King County Animal Care and Control is extending an invitation to holiday shoppers at the Kent Station mall to visit their temporary pet adoption store front to meet adoptable cats and dogs. This is part of the annual Season of Helping Orphaned Pets Everywhere (HOPE) promotion.

Now you can check out the sales in stores, and visit with some pets who would love to have a home for the holidays, all in one convenient location. The store space was donated by the Kent Station mall management, and King County Animal Care and Control did not pay for the retail space. Visit the store and fall in love with our adoptable dogs or cats, check out the annual holiday wish list, bring a gift to the Animals' Giving Tree, and pick up disaster preparedness information for you and your pets.

As an additional holiday gift to adopters, all adoption fees have been waived to ensure as many adoptions as possible in advance of potential flooding risk from the Green River and possible evacuation of the Kent animal shelter. Residents can take home a new pet for just the cost of the pet license. This includes spay/neuter and all vaccinations. Previously, adoption fees had ranged from $30 for an adult cat, to $75 for dogs, puppies and kittens.

Visit the Season of HOPE adoption event during these times:
