Take a Big Dog Home for the Pawlidays!

Every home needs a pup – and we have more big dogs than we can handle! That’s why we’re waiving fees on all adult dogs over 40 lbs. – now through January 1!

Kitsap Humane Society uses a walk-up and queue-based first-come, first-served adoption system. We are open for adoptions Wednesday-Monday from noon to 4 pm.

Please note, if you are interested in meeting with a pet in foster care, you must email your dog, cat, small animal, or livestock adoption survey to adoptions@kitsap-humane.org so that we may schedule a time for you to meet with the pet.

While we do our best to update the availability of our adoptable pets on these sites, we can’t guarantee that specific animals listed on our website will still be available by the time you visit our shelter. It can take up to four hours for the available pets listed here to update, so please revisit this page frequently.

Sometimes our pets are uploaded more quickly to Petfinder, so please try checking this link for the most up-to-date animals in our care.

Don’t see your perfect match? Check back frequently – new pets become available for adoption every day.

For information on our adoption process, please visit our How to Adopt page.

Choosing the Right Pet:

Adopting a new pet is a big decision, so it’s important to think about what you’re looking for. KHS Adoption Counselors will help you choose the right pet for your lifestyle. To help us get a better idea of the ideal pet for your family, please come prepared to talk about: 

• Any size or breed restrictions per your landlord or homeowner’s insurance
• How much time you have for exercise or training
• How much time your new pet will stay alone
• What energy level is the best fit for your lifestyle
• What personality traits you are looking for
• Whether your new pet will be spending time with children, lots of strangers, or other animals
