nowcats: Can I tell you a story about Taffy?

She is all smiles, thanks to friends like you.

Dear aze,

I have great news just in time for the holidays.

Generous friends of Seattle Humane are offering to match gifts to Seattle Humane—up to $50,000—for the next 30 days!

Your gift will double in value helping TWICE as many pets find homes this holiday season.

Backed by a caring community, Seattle Humane works every day to promote the human-animal bond by supporting pet families in our area and saving and serving pets in need ... pets like Taffy!

Some glow-ups take longer than others, and more often than not, it takes a lot of helping hands. Sweet pup Taffy was found living outside and brought to a local partner shelter. Taffy's arrival happened to be around the same time the shelter was reporting severe overcrowding.

Oftentimes, senior pups like Taffy are overlooked and the last to be adopted—waiting and waiting to find a home of their own. Thanks to caring supporters like you, Seattle Humane’s Lifesaver Rescue Transfer team was able to jump into action and bring Taffy and several other dogs to our Bellevue campus to help.

Like most senior shelter pets, Taffy's teeth needed a good deal of work, which our amazing veterinary team provided through our Schuler Family Medical Center. After a successful surgery, Taffy went to a loving foster home to rest and recover. When Taffy fully healed, her foster mom decided she wasn't going anywhere...except back to Seattle Humane one last time to get her sutures removed!

Today, Taffy is living a healthy, happy life as a beloved member of a caring family. But there are many more pets we need to find homes for this holiday season, as well as pet families that deserve our support.

Please make your gift now while it can still be matched—dollar for dollar—by friends of Seattle Humane. On behalf of the pets who will be saved by your generosity, thank you!

Gratefully,
