Hurricane Ian Rescue Update

Compassion and teamwork are something I see every day at Seattle Humane. These past few weeks have been no different. The morning of September 27, we received an urgent message from Good Flights—a nonprofit partner that evacuates pets in times of danger with lifesaving airlifts—to take in as many pets as possible. “As Ian bears down on Florida, we make a call, today, for your consideration.” Our Lifesaver Rescue Program team immediately went into action, coordinating the effort to bring 68 cats, dogs and guinea pigs to our Bellevue campus after their flight landed at Everett’s Paine Field. It is because of you and your compassion for pets that we have been able—and can continue—to quickly respond and help pets affected by natural disasters in a few different ways. •   Provide expert care and treatment plans. Within hours, our veterinary team began assessing the health needs of every pet on the lifesaving flight, conducting over 160 exams and X-rays—ensuring every shelter pet is set up for success. •   Coordinate and support foster placement for pets needing additional care. Several pets came to us needing special attention and time to heal with a foster family. Learn more about fostering a pet. •   Help families bring home a new best friend. 56 pets have already found their families! We still have adoptable pets looking for homes. Look for the special badge on their profile photos as you search all our available pets. Our mission is to save and serve pets when they need it most. The Hurricane Ian lifesaving rescue is one of those moments. You make this possible as a supporter and advocate for Seattle Humane. I am so grateful to our staff, volunteers and you—our Rescue Squad. Thank you! In gratitude, Continue Your Support
