| Thanks to you, thousands of pets are home for the holidays.
This Thanksgiving, we want to say THANK YOU. We are so very grateful for your support in saving lives, completing families and keeping pets with the people who love them. These are just a few of the pets you helped this year. Thanks to your generosity, they’re celebrating this holiday season in loving homes. Levi It took months for this energetic 1-year-old Foxhound mix to find the right family. Levi loved people but had some puppy behaviors — like jumping and mouthing — that required some extra attention from the team at Seattle Humane, and a patient adopter. He found the perfect match in Cody, who took advantage of our Foster-to-Adopt program before officially adopting Levi in May. "I still pinch myself daily thinking how much I lucked out with Levi. He’s grown into such a playful, intuitive, and loving companion. He’s less rambunctious, doesn’t mouth, chew, or bite, and has become an absolute character in the household. We’ve been all over the state this summer, camping, hiking, backpacking, and beach strolling. I can’t imagine life without him.” | Bella This 11-year-old senior kitty came to us when her person passed away. Like a lot of older pets, she had some health issues and needed some dental work, which our veterinary team addressed during her stay with us. She also needed a family who could help her lose some weight (she weighed nearly 19 pounds). Mary, her adopter, was more than happy to bring beautiful Bella into her life. “Bella has blossomed so much since I first brought her home and it has been a heartwarming experience for me. We also have made some progress on her weight loss. She is now weighing in at 17.5 pounds. We will continue on this journey, slowly but surely getting her down to a healthy weight. She sleeps with me at night, curled up in my arms, purring loudly. Words cannot describe the love that I have for her or the positive impact she has had on my life. I am honored to be Bella's forever home.” | Honey Bun (now Xavi) This Flemish Giant was surrendered to us in the spring by a family overrun with rabbits. Big in size and in personality, he quickly won the hearts of staff and volunteers. Mom Rachel reports his new family is completely smitten with this honey of a bunny. “We are completely in love with Honey Bun, who is now named Xavi. We can’t imagine not having him as part of our family. He’s happy and loved and snuggled up a ton by all of us, especially the kids. And he’s pumped about all the veggies in our garden. We’ve done away with his enclosure and he’s now a free roaming giant bunny!” | Handsome We've spent the past year connecting people and pets, but we've also been hard at work helping families stay together through difficult times. When Handsome needed emergency surgery earlier this year to remove bladder stones, his mom Sheila reached out to Seattle Humane’s Pet Resource Center and our Pet Owner Assistance Fund for help in covering a portion of the surgery. Today, Handsome is staying healthy — and home with the people who love him — with the support of our Pet Food Bank. “Handsome is on a prescription diet. Keeping your dog healthy is very expensive. If I get low on food, I call them and get on their delivery schedule and they just deliver it right to your door. Seattle Humane — they just stepped up to the plate.” | Meet Handsome and Sheila and see how we’re helping other pet families in our community here. Thank you for supporting Seattle Humane and making all of these happy endings possible. |
