Our Story
Everett Animal Shelter is a municipal shelter that cares for the lost, abandoned, abused, and surrendered pets of Everett and surrounding areas. We welcome animals regardless of age, breed, temperament, or medical condition, giving each one safety, compassion, and a chance to begin again. Every year, thousands of dogs, cats, and small animals receive medical care, behavioral support, and help finding loving homes thanks to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and foster families. While basic operations are city-funded, the lifesaving medical care we provide is made possible almost entirely by generous community donations.
