The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County

This Facility is easely accessible from all roads and interstate. The facility is also handicapped friendly and accessible. We had a wonderful experience in our search for a rescue. We were interested in a specific breed and the staff helped us find the right one. The process was smooth and the communication on point. We are extremely pleased with our new pet. We highly recommend this Facility when considering adopting.

Had the best experience with adopting, Ivy! At first, she was shy, scared, and a little hissy. She has blossomed into the sweetest, most loving, and truly the best companion I didn’t know I needed.

Thank you Tacoma Humane Society for my baby girl.

We found our now 8 month old kitty here. We wanted to get a friend for our other cat Suki as her best friend got out last year and I just unfortunately never made it back to us. We adopted Court (now Jax) about 3 months ago and we love him soo much! He’s the best even with some funny quirks.

The adoption process was a little slow and stressful. We had to wait 2 hours to talk to someone and then another week for him to get neutered. But, I don’t necessaril

Hi folks! As you can imagine, losing your pet, is every bit like losing a family member! So, of course, panic and confusion are the first things that hit you. And, they are powerful! In fact, so powerful that they can overwhelm you! At a time like that, you need some help and the Humane Society employees moved quickly and effortlessly into that understanding and compassionate role. The first thing they did, was to express how their concern was as great as our own and gave assurance that everything possible would be done to rescue our pet. After a thorough record creation on our pet was carefully done, the staff walked us through their kennels to make certain that we felt satisfied that our pet hadn't been found by animal control and brought there. I was very impressed with their concerned

My experience at the Tacoma Humane Society. After following the Tacoma Shelter Pups Instagram for several weeks, I became very interested in Capone. I had multiple conversations through the page with individuals who stated he was doing well with other dogs and showing no signs of aggression. Based on those assurances, my husband and I carefully considered the situation and went to the shelter at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 25th, simply hoping to meet him. Upon arrival, we were told we were required to complete adoption paperwork just to meet Capone, which we did. After waiting approximately 15 minutes, Sage called us to the counter and informed us that we would not be allowed to meet him because we already have a dog at home. We explained that volunteers we had spoken with indicated he
