To get started, follow the easy prompts to create your registration with a credit card or debit card to start bidding. Your card will not be charged unless you are the winning bidder on an item(s) and at close out you will have the option of using a different card to pay for your winnings. And, take advantage of the automatic email or text alerts if someone outbids you on an item--this allows you to stay on top of those items you really, really want without having to constantly check in! I personally LOVE this feature!! |

DEVON AND KIIA - PETCO LOVE STORY |
|
|
A few months ago, PETCO asked adopters to share stories about a pet who had changed their life. Petco Love Stories Campaign celebrated the big and small ways pets affect our lives for the better. We’d like to share a story submitted by Devon (WAMAL adopter and foster) and her beloved pup Kiia:
“I feel it the most when I get home late at night. When my vest and steps are heavy as I walk towards the front door and the entire day’s events sinking in and wrapping around my mind like a weighted blanket—minus the relaxing part. It’s easy to get lost in the negativity… until I hear her.
|
|
|
As I approach the door, I can hear Kiia’s howl from inside my home and I cannot fight the smile that spreads across my face, chuckling, as I hear Kiia’s unique muted howl. You see, unlike most Malamutes of her breed, she howls as if someone used a remote to turn down the volume. Hearing her muted greeting as I pull out my keys to unlock my front door is the absolute highlight of my day. It means I’m home. |
|
|
Kiia entered my life in 2018 as a foster from the Washington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League, a "last chance" rescue from Oregon. Her quirky personality latched onto my heart like ivy on an oak tree--from her head tilt whenever I spoke her name, to her enormous smile, I knew she was meant to be part of my family. After a few months of fostering, I made the best decision of my life and officially adopted her. |
|
|
In the midst of a career as a police officer, where daily exposure to negativity is inevitable, Kiia became my source of positivity and light. I had lost count of the days I would return home from a traumatic shift, open my front door and slump down to the ground sobbing. Kiia would be right there cobbing my arms and legs, licking my face and tears. She didn't just adopt me; she became my guardian, my source of strength. |
|
|
She wouldn’t eat her dinner until I also sat down to eat mine. She wouldn’t leave my side if I had a rough day. If I had a rough night sleeping, she would wake me up by climbing onto my bed and lying down next to me, resting her head on my body. She would even eat any bee that came within arms distance of me—as I am deathly allergic. |
|
|
Our adventures together—road trips, hikes, or a simple outing to Dutch Bros—brought me out of my shell and reconnected me with the world. Kiia's impact was profound, reshaping my perspective and instilling resilience during dark times.
I lost Kiia suddenly in December 2020 when she was 9 years old. She left my life as unexpectedly as she had entered it. However, the lessons taught and the love she gave me still live on in my heart. While she is gone, I can still hear her low volume howl when I approach my front door after a long day, and it still makes me smile.”~~Devon

Hi there human - you look like you could use a Valentine! Well, look no further - my name is Summit and I think we might just be made for each other!
I've been bounced around a bit and while I'm outgoing and friendly to all the humans I meet, now I'm looking for a real commitment - an experienced furever family to be my one and only and to let me be theirs. I may be about 7-8 years old, but am still spry and would love to accompany you on walks or for backyard playtime! Or anything really, as I don't particularly love being left alone!
We could both really benefit from a serious relationship. You can help me work on my leash skills and basic manners around other dogs, and in return I will serenade you with my melodious "wooooos", give you endless loving, lean-y "hugs", and I promise I will always be happy to see you!
So whaddya say, wanna "Be Mine" this Valentine's Day? Please apply to adopt me or foster me today!

Excuse me, did I hear you say someone is a "good boy"? You must've been talking about me!
My name is Naches. I spent a year being a very good boy at the Humane Society, and still no adopter in sight. So I've decided to try my luck with WAMAL instead, in the hopes of finding my furever family faster!
I'm a super-sweet boy about 3 years old. I'm friendly to people and to other dogs. I wouldn't mind having a dog buddy to play with in my new home, but I could also be your only dog and just do playdates with friends instead! I'm energetic and I think it would be great fun to go with you on some pack walks or hikes.
I'm a handsome pup who loves attention and affection. I enjoy being pet all over! I also like pulling on the leash but I like treats even more, so you can work with me on that easily. I'll even take those treats genty!
It feels like I've been waiting for so long to find my furever home. Please tell me my wait is over by applying to adopt me or foster me!!
