Adopt a Pet

Help Find A Home For Mason

Not every dog announces himself — Mason just walks in, drops a toy at your feet, and settles right in.

This five-year-old Lab mix is available for adoption in Olympia, WA, and he's the kind of dog most people spend years hoping to find.

Mason has moved past the chaos of puppyhood without losing a bit of his spark.

He's lively enough for backyard adventures, yet calm enough to settle beside you when the day winds down.

That balance is genuinely rare — and harder to find in a younger dog.

Mason does well with other dogs, making him a great fit for multi-pet homes across Thurston County.

He warms up at his own pace, but once he bonds, it's for keeps.

The adoption fee is $110 and covers neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, and parasite treatment — so your first day home is purely about connection.

Adoptions run Tuesday through Saturday on a first-come, first-served basis — and dogs like Mason move fast.

Call ahead to confirm availability, and come ready to meet your next best friend.
