Instagram Inspiration: A Puppy Pick-Me-Up
Take a peek at five of Seattle's most adorable dogs
By Kirsten Abel September 9, 2015
Although National Dog Day has passed, I still spend a decent amount of time every day looking at pictures of puppies (some might say too much time). Since the only pet I currently own is an enormous lazy tomcat who howls late into the night, I have to get my puppy love via the internet. The pups featured on these five local Instagram accounts will, without fail, make your day a little happier. Just try to look at any one of these pictures without smiling.
If you want to get a little more up close and personal, try out one of these Seattle-area shelters where you can adopt, volunteer, or donate: King County Animal Shelter, Seattle Humane Society, Seattle Animal Shelter, PAWS, and Ginger’s Pet Rescue.
For the especially adventurous animal-lovers, see what’s going on at the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center. They are currently rehabilitating a family of opossums, a turkey vulture, several baby squirrels, and a group of raccoons. You can’t adopt these little creatures, but you can volunteer or donate to Sarvey Wildlife by purchasing items off their Amazon Wish List (some items cost as little as $4.99).
