| | | Happily Ever After for Mason County Rescue Dogs  We helped the Humane Society of Mason County rescue dozens of dogs from a remote property in a tragic animal hoarding case back in April. Among them were Tanner the husky and a shy hound mix named Nellie. Both arrived malnourished, frightened, and in need of extensive care. Nellie and Tanner needed a gradual feeding plan to address their malnourishment and time to heal their wounds. Thanks to the many shelter staff and volunteers, particularly the loving foster families who cared for Nellie and Tanner, these resilient pups (and many more rescued from the property) were able to heal and gain confidence.
After months of care with Seattle Humane, both Tanner and Nellie were adopted into loving families and are thriving. Tanner, now named Dan Dan, has embraced his adventurous husky nature, and enjoys hikes through the snow while still relishing movie nights and belly rubs. Timid Nellie now starts her day with confidence thanks to morning kisses and walks with her new mom. Their transformations are a testament to the power of compassion, and they are just two examples of the incredible impact the support of people like you has on pets in need. | Thankful for YOU!  Over 750 generous donors made a Giving Tuesday gift this year to save lives and complete families. Together, we raised over $130,000! Your generous donations will help us cover the cost of care for almost 250 shelter pets this month, including veterinary care, meals, and shelter. It is your generosity and support that make this work possible. Thank you to everyone who donated for helping us make Giving Tuesday a huge success for pets and the people who love them!
If you would like to support Seattle Humane and missed out on Giving Tuesday this year, there’s still time to support our lifesaving work this year! | Featured Pet: Iris  Iris is a playful 1-year-old terrier mix who originally arrived in the Pacific Northwest through a Lifesaver Rescue transfer out of Texas back in May. Iris is a young and spunky gal who loves playing with toys. She is a pro at fetch, likes to play tug, and in the summer months enjoys splashing around in our kiddie pools. Iris is energetic, yet a little unsure of the world around her, so she would do well in a home where she has room to run and play in a quieter space. Iris knows a number of training cues, and her love of treats will help her new family continue her canine education. Iris briefly lived with another dog but wants to meet any potential dog friends before heading to her new home.
