A haiku to start your Thursday:

It's raining outside.
And there is standing water.
You know to slow down.

FINAL UPDATE 9/1: Mr. Pickles has been adopted :)

UPDATE 8/31: Mr. Pickles is pending pick-up. We've revived many calls for him today! Thanks for helping us find him a forever family.
*********

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: Mr. Pickles.

Mr. Pickles came to us a stray, so we don't know much about him, but he's been fun to play with and has very expressive ears. We don't know how he is around other dogs, cats, or kids. To meet Mr. Pickles please give us a call at 360-330-7680, option 5 and ask for a Community Service Officer. Adoptions are free!
