Big progress in 2017let's keep this going!

What a year! With the big move into our new shelter now complete, we are prepared to provide excellent care for thousands of pets in 2018 and beyond in our state-of-the-art facility. Our teamwork and the building itself was immdiately tested after moving day. Just 10 days after moving animals into our new facility, we opened our arms to welcome animals displaced by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Moving during these events was hard work, but all of the expansions and upgrades allowed us to quickly activate and support national disaster relief efforts.

Ever since animals first entered our new shelter, pets and people alike have thrived in the new building. A big THANK YOU from our paws to yours for helping us provide support and care for more than 7,500 pets because of your generosity. We can hardly wait to share the number of lives impacted in 2018!

Year after year, our volunteers do outstanding work at the shelter. Our 3,393 volunteers donated more than 156,800 hours to helping pets in need this past year! We know our work wouldn't be possible without the passionate dedication of our volunteers, donors and animal-loving community who passionately support our mission.

At Seattle Humane, we know every pet regardless of age, breed or beauty deserve the vital comforts of loving homes and families. With your help, Seattle Humane looks forward to saving more lives and completing new families in the new year. Our deepest gratitude to you and our beloved pets who inspire so many animal heroes!

Save the Date for Tuxes and Tails!

We are excited to announce our next Tuxes & Tails fundraising gala! Join us once again Saturday, May 12th at the beautiful Meydenbauer Center in downtown Bellevue. Be sure to mark your calendar for this pet-lover's dream of a party. Stay tuned for the auction sneak peek, celebrity guests, and special announcements. We are excited to share an elegant evening with you to benefit the animals.

Licorice1.jpgMeet Licorice!

Meet Licorice, a 13-year-old black-haired gal who would love to be your special someone! She's a very easygoing, sweet girl who just wants to curl up in your lap and keep you company. Licorice would make a great companion for someone looking for a mature and loving kitty friend. She loves to lounge in cat trees, curl up in a warm bed, and watch birds out the window. Licorice is diabetic, which can be well managed with the right care (she even takes her insulin like a champ with no complaints!). Few things in life feel better than giving a loving home to a pet who needs one, so come meet Licorice today – you'll be glad you did!

As with all of our cats, Licorice has been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. All cats have been tested for FIV/Feline Leukemia. She will go home with a certificate for an examination by a King County veterinarian and a collar with an identification tag.

Adopt-a-Pet Challenge | All January

It’s 2018 and Seattle Humane’s New Year’s Resolution is to find loving homes for long-timer pets at the shelter. Visit Seattle Humane’s Facebook or Twitter page to see a new featured pet daily! If you aren’t ready to adopt, share Seattle Humane’s pet of the day on your social media pages to help find them good homes! A little exposure can go a long way to help a pet in need. 

The Bachelor: The Pawfect Union | Jan. 5-7

The fiercest, most charismatic contestants for your love are the cat and dog bachelors and bachelorettes at Seattle Humane. Your choice to adopt will be rewarded tenfold with their unconditional love! What could be a better match? Mix and mingle with the pets of your dreams this weekend. To help you find your furry soul mate, Seattle Humane is taking $22 off adoption fees just in time for Season 22 of ABC’s The Bachelor! Don’t deny those puppy dog eyes – this is true love.

New Year. New You. New Love. | Jan. 19-21

If fitness is one of your 2018 resolutions, hire a shelter pet from Seattle Humane as your personal trainer. They'll wake you up early for an active day, lead your way on outdoor adventures, and keep you jumping around the house to keep them entertained. Show an adoption advisor your gym card, list your favorite hiking trails, or strike a yoga pose for $25 off adoption fees. You'll walk out with a dedicated workout buddy who'll push you toward becoming your best self.

Happy Tails from Adopters

We love adoption updates! If you've adopted a new pet this year or years ago and want to send us updates, please reach out to marketing@seattlehumane.org or follow up by tagging us on social media.

ginger.jpgGinger is now the neighborhood buddy

We absolutely LOVE Lilo, who is now Ginger. 

Ginger loves her new home. She loves exploring the backyard and going on walks with her new furry buddies, Pushka (Pomeranian) and Jake (Black Lab). Ginger also loves playing with her toys with our two boys. Every afternoon this week, Ginger and Pushka hung around the bus stop and greeted all of the elementary kids when they got off the school bus. The kids love Ginger and she loves them! Seriously, who wouldn't love a dog with a heart on her backside? 

Thank you again for everything!

Logan cropped.jpgThe whole family is in love with Logan

Dear Sarah & Seattle Humane staff and volunteers,

We don't even have words to express how thankful and blessed we are for Logan. Our family finally feels complete. 

Rich and I are convinced that both our families love our dog more than us. My brother and dog enthusiast, Scott, visited me twice in one week because he is so fond of Logan and wanted to gift him with a special bed, which Logan loves. Rich's parents have decided that we'll be holding Christmas this year because they like Logan better than his misbehaved cousins, Charlie, a 126-lb Pit Bull and Peanut, a 100-lb Golden Retriever. My mother came to town to visit from Montana and ended up crying before she left, not because she was sad to leave me but heartbroken to leave her new "Grand-Dog." I have been asked to send daily pictures to my mother, father, and Rich's father. Logan is "spoiled rotten" and lucky to have us for his parents according to everyone who meets them. The UPS driver has taken pictures of him for the UPS Dog Facebook page and the postal carrier enjoys seeing him. Even Sterling, our snowshow cat, is always found by his side. I never thought in a million years that a cat and dog would love each other so much but it's undeniable.

Forever grateful,

Rich Voyta, Jessica Hansen and Sterling Cat

Home for the Holidays

Hi Sarah,

Bodhi, now known as Copper, is doing so well with our family. Our German Shepherd loves her little brother, and so does our cat who we adopted from NOAH last year. I'm attaching our Christmas photo, feel free to share. Thank you again for allowing us to give him a home for Christmas.

A whirlwind of adventure and love

Scott.jpg

Scout had quite the whirlwind entry to the family.  After adopting him he had a couple of days at our condo in Issaquah to get used to his big sister, Izzy. Then we were in the car to go visit his new grandparents on the Olympic Peninsula.  We had booked a trip to Cannon Beach before adopting Scout, so he got to spend a few days with those Grandparents who continued to spoil him while we were away. After that it was back to Issaquah and a start to the "normal" routine for our family.  Scout's personality seems to come through more and more and he gets more familiar with his new surroundings and more comfortable as part of his new pack.  Big sister has gotten used to him now and they’re doing so well together. Scout has been a great addition to the family and we look forward to this summer when the weather is better and the four of us can start adventuring together.

Thanks so very much for all the work you do for these animals that need some help! 

Cheers!

The O'Neils
