Busy days for our Pet Food Bank Our volunteers and donors amaze us every day but we've seen incredible support and participation in response to last month's government shutdown. Thanks to you, we are able to distribute between 16,000 and 18,000 pounds of pet food to local food banks every month and serve thousands of families in need, all while continuing to take calls from new families who need our help. You can learn more about what's been going on at our Pet Food Bank and how to get involved in this week's blog.    February Pet Spotlight - Meet Jasper!  Meet Jasper, a stunning 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Hound mix. This sweet and sensitive boy knows "Sit" and loves belly rubs. Jasper has lived with other dogs but we think he might prefer to be the only dog in the home. As the active boy he is, Jasper would not only like a good walk each day, but also activities that will challenge his mind like puzzle toys. After a full day, this handsome boy is ready to cuddle up for more pets, and of course, belly rubs! Make Jasper a part of your family and he will make you the center of his universe. Please contact our adoption advisors to learn more about the process and Jasper's behavioral needs. You can reach us at (425) 649-7563 and adoption@seattlehumane.org.
