Looking for a furry best friend? October marks the official start of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County has many adoptable dogs waiting for a loving home.
Meet Frenzy, a 3-year-old Labrador retriever and German shepherd who has been at the shelter since August.
You might as well call him “Fetching Frenzy” with his dashing personality and his unofficial status as champion fetcher!
He can be a bit shy at first, but after some love and treats, you’ll find Frenzy is a happy-go-lucky boy. Frenzy is quick on his feet and his agility skills shine with a nice game of fetch. After some playtime, he would enjoy cuddling and some quality time with you on the couch.
Frenzy would prefer a household with adults so that he can be his fun and bouncy self.
The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. View all adoptable animals at www.thehumanesociety.org. For the safety of the community and shelter staff, all visitors are required to wear a mask.
We adopted a Husky last Dec. and a Mama it’s in Sept. Both had some trust issues when we first brought them home. Now they are both well mannered and happy pups. We are so happy they are a part is our family.
I’d love to adopt a fur baby as I am 62 and live alone in my house, although sometimes my grandkids come and stay over. They range from kindergarten to 2nd grade.
My issue is that I live on only Social Security and although I could probably pay for food ok most of the time, I might need help there sometime. My real concern though is the dog’s health. There is no way I can afford even normal vet bills, much less any massive bill that might pop up.
Are there any programs to help seniors and those on disability with pet expenses? I know that sharing my home with a pet would benefit the health of both of us, but I worry I could not cover the expenses.
Any resources would be appreciated, thanks.
