“Patient, attentive, and personalized service!”
I can’t wait to meet your dog! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have rescued several abandoned dogs and cats from the street. I am also a vegetarian of 14 years and a certified meditation instructor. People have commented that I get along better with animals than humans as I can quickly develop a bond with animals and have a ton of patience. I am also certified in wilderness first response, CPR, and Leave No Trace. I hope to meet you and your dog(s!) soon!

“I’m fulfilling my passion working with your babies”
Ever since I was little I have had a passion for animals. As I get older it has grown stronger. I believe my purpose is to be a voice for them. I have rescued and found homes for numerous animals in need. I have leash trained a few dogs to prepare them for their new homes. I have always owned dogs and couldn’t imagine my life without my fur babies. I will love and treat your babies as my own. I look forward to meeting so many new furry friends and their owners!

Dog Boarding in Tacoma
Located on the banks of the Puget Sound, the scenic city of Tacoma has a range of services that offer care and compassion to animals. The story of the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County reflects the culture and history of this Pacific Northwest community. In 1888, when Tacoma was a frontier town, a logger brought a baby bear cub into town and started kicking it to make it perform tricks. The people gathered, summoned the Justice of Peace and had the man arrested. That same week, a group of town leaders assembled and formed this humane society, the fourth in the nation.
At first, the society worked to the benefit of children, livestock and working animals. As conditions changed, the mission shifted to companion animals and pets. Today, The Humane Society shelters more than 12,000 animals every year, maintains more than a dozen Humane Programs, and is at the forefront of progressive animal welfare. This is "paw-sitively" an exceptional organization with services that include a pet food bank, pet loss grief support group, spay and neuter services, microchip plus foster and adoption services.
With a commitment to saving lives, the volunteers help save as many animal lives as possible by collaborating with and supporting both local and out-of-state shelters, rescue groups, and animal welfare programs who find themselves overwhelmed by full kennels. They provide education and bi-annual newsletters with updates and tips. Donors help to raise funds for veterinary care as well as helping with the costs of saving lives.
