Our Pet of the Week Aretha will make your heart sing!

This four-year-old mastiff mix first came in to the Pet Adoption Center in early August. She was quickly adopted, but it wasn’t a good fit. So, we’re on the hunt again for Aretha’s fur-ever home.

Aretha is a total lovebug who can’t get enough snuggles. She’s a large breed dog, so there’s a lot to snuggle for sure! Aretha loves to lean in for pets and get those oh-so-good scritches too.

As you can see in her photo, Aretha always has a big goofy smile on her face. She walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys a good game of fetch. Considering her size, Aretha would do best in a home with older children, or an adults-only home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive, affectionate companion – Aretha may be the one for you! She is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. Her adoption comes with many benefits, including 30 days of opt-in pet health insurance through Trupanion, a lifetime discount on online training from GoodPup, and a rebate on training through Rover. Best of all, you can adopt Aretha for just $30, but only until August 31 when our Clear The Shelters promotion ends. Your $30 fee covers the cost of a King County pet license, if applicable. Learn about all the benefits that come with a pet license at kingcounty.gov/LicenseMyPet.

No matter what kind of pet you fancy, we probably have one for you! The King County Pet Adoption Center is located at 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent. Pet adoption hours are noon to 5 p.m. weekdays, and noon to 4 p.m. weekends. You can also see all the animals we have available anytime at kingcounty.gov/AdoptAPet.
