Don’t miss the upcoming ‘Canine Christmas’ adoption event. Adopt a dog or puppy and light up your life this holiday season! Meet over 100 great dogs and puppies from across Washington in one location. Come meet the dogs Sunday, December 13th, noon until 3 pm at Paws-abilities in Tukwila, WA.  Over 90 families found their new best friends at our last adoption event.
 
Paws-Abilities Dog Training Center is located at 1007 Industry Drive, Tukwila, WA, 98188. Directions can be found at

Why should I adopt at this event?
 
More than 100 dogs and puppies of all different shapes, sizes, ages and breeds from 9 animal rescue organizations will be onsite available for adoption.  Puppies, adults, small dogs, purebred and mixed breeds will be available. No need to buy a dog from a breeder and then have to pay for shots and spay/neuter, with these dogs all of that has been done and is included in the adoption price. The only thing these dogs need is a new home to love and protect them for a lifetime. Plus our dogs have a money back guarantee and are always welcome back at the shelter or rescue for any reason if it’s not a right fit for your family.
 
Experienced shelter staff, volunteers and trainers will be on hand to help you find the right animal for your family. The trainers will be available to answer your questions about any dog you are thinking of adopting. Shelter staff has evaluated each dog’s behavior and temperament. Adoption fees range from $150.00 to $250.00.

*NEW* Food Drive - The Animals Need Your Help
Times are tough, especially for the shelters and rescues relying on donations. In conjunction with the adoption event, we will also be holding a food drive. Will you consider bringing some pet food to our event? The food will be distributed to the shelters and rescues attending our event.
 
Pawsitive Alliance's mission is to end the killing of adoptable dogs and cats in Washington by increasing shelter adoptions, programs for spaying and neutering of family pets and providing educational resources and training to the public.
