• What to do if you find a pet that has strayed from home (shorelineareanews.com) — Shoreline and Lake Forest Park residents are reminded that their cities use PAWS in Lynnwood for animal control and shelter services, not the damaged Regional Animal Shelter of King County in Kent. The article walks you through smart steps to take if you find a stray pet or kittens, and explains why leaving many cats in place and using microchips and licenses greatly improves reunions.
