Updates from Seattle Humane

 

   March 2019 eNews

Thank you, Pet Food Bank Heroes!  

Did you hear? The snow hit our Pet Food Bank hard in February, but thanks to all of you, it was a short-lived scare. Within 24 hours of sharing our shortage online, hundreds of boxes and thousands of pounds of food began to arrive from our dedicated supporters.

We are stunned by the number of deliveries last week and all through the weekend. Our Pet Food Bank is now filled to the brim and our staff and volunteers are busy distributing much-needed food and supplies to more than 2,000 Pet Food Bank clients. Curious how to help now? Making a cash contribution at this time will help us reorder supplies when stock runs low again. We get discounts when we buy in bulk! Purrs, tail wags and thank you!

March Pet Spotlight: Meet Pearl!

Pearl_1.jpg

Meet Pearl, a sweet 16-year-old girl who came to Seattle Humane when her owner died. This cuddlebug has only known one home her entire life and she was clearly adored there. She's now looking for a loving home where she can spend the rest of her days watching birds through the window. But as her foster mother discovered, bird videos on YouTube work just as well! Come in to Seattle Humane and meet this senior sweetheart today!

If there's a will, there's a way to provide long-term support for pets

Annual giving, capital campaign giving, planned giving. These are the types of giving that supporters frequently hear about when they’re considering making a donation to their favorite cause. But what exactly is planned giving, and is it only for older or wealthy folks? Well, it isn’t. Planned giving is for people of all ages and economic statuses, and it doesn’t have to be difficult. Click here to learn some fast facts about planned giving. Or contact Scott Fraser, Esq., Seattle Humane’s Major and Planned Giving Director at (425) 373-5387 or scott@seattlehumane.org.
