A Celebration of Animal Care - a Message from the Mayor:
Last Monday, we once again proclaimed our annual celebration of Animal Care & Control Officers week April 13-19. We were lucky enough to have two of our Animal Control Officers, Kacy Alban and Catherine Baldwin, join us for this proclamation. Our entire team at Metro Animal Services always does a fantastic job serving Sumner and our six other partner cities. This year has been specially challenging as in December, crews working to repair the shelter’s flooring found water damage. We quickly hustled our staff and volunteers out of the building, and they safely rehoused over 60 animals that were in our care to partner organizations across the state. Then, they proceeded to respond to calls as best they could from a remote office…through the winter.
We’re so excited that repairs are done for their facility. The building is owned by our partners at City of Puyallup, and we appreciate their response to this situation. We haven’t done a big “ta da” reopening because we’re giving our staff time to figuratively get their ducks in a row before literal cats, dogs and perhaps ducks, come flooding into the shelter. I think we’re now ready! If you need support for your pet, to find a pet or to adopt a pet, start looking at Metro again as we resume normal services. And if you get the chance, thank our staff. Over the years, they’ve endured caring for lizards, giant spiders, snakes, goats, peacocks and all sorts of situations. They’ve reunited pets with owners, helped owners adopt their new best friend and even intervened for animals’ safety in bad situations where animals were at risk. For the past few months, they’ve had to contend with less than ideal circumstances for their own work space, and I appreciate their patience, endurance and humor through it all. This is indeed a special Animal Care & Control Officers week for our own Metro Animal Services.
