JJ's Ready for Sounders' Match Day and GiveBIG!

GiveBIG to help hundreds of animals between now and May 8

Your GiveBIG gift saves lives GiveBIG today and make an impact for thousands of cats, dogs and small animals who will enter our doors this year! Your gift will help animals like JJ. Arriving at Seattle Humane from another shelter that did not have the resources to care for him, JJ came to us with a broken leg and developed kennel cough. Our veterinarians and animal care staff monitored his fracture and treated his illness, carefully nursing him back to health. When you make a GiveBIG gift, you are helping pets like JJ receive the treatment and the new, loving home they deserve.  Win Sounders Tickets! It's match day! If you're heading to the pitch today or catching the game on TV, be on the lookout for the Sounders to give a shout out to Seattle Humane. Thanks to animal lover and #3 defender Jonathan Campbell, we'll be highlighted during today's match along with his teammate's favorite non-profits that are participating in GiveBIG. As a bonus, every Seattle Humane GiveBIG donor will be entered to win ten Seattle Sounders FC tickets for the match on May 15 at CenturyLink Field. The lucky winner will also receive a signed soccer ball from Seattle Humane supporter Jonathan Campbell. The drawing will take place on May 9. What are you waiting for? GiveBIG right MEOW!

April eNews: Open for spring events and adoption specials

Updates from Seattle Humane        April 2019 eNews April is all about new beginnings    This Monday was a miracle. Rewind 343 days when Squiggles came to Seattle Humane. Unlike other exuberant puppies, Squiggles was terribly frightened of the world. Squiggles had suffered abuse, was terrified of men, and heartbreak was all he knew. Squiggles had a long way to go to learn he was safe and loved. Our shelter staff and volunteers jumped in to teach this sweet boy that life can be great. Seattle Humane staff worked with him every day to desensitize him to his fears and triggers. Squiggles grew braver and made friends. Eventually he was ready for our Foster-to-Adopt program where he finally met his person. Squiggles' foster dad and now adopter named him Rusty. Rusty spent 340 days with us, a long time for a dog under 2. But now he'll have the lifetime of love and home he deserved all along. Thanks to you, Seattle Humane can give pets like Rusty the chance to overcome their challenges – medical and behavioral  – for their new beginnings. With some time and TLC, anything is possible.    Support Our Mission: Tuxes & Tails tickets on sale now  You only have until April 8 to get early bird pricing on Tuxes & Tails tickets!Our 30th Annual Gala is coming up on Saturday, May 11.

Upcoming Employment Opportunities We're hiring! If you are interested in applying or know someone who is, go to seattlehumane.org/employment. Be sure to revisit our employment page this summer as well for even more employment opportunities. April Pet Spotlight: Meet Trudeau! Meet Trudeau, a 6-year-old Labrador Retriever! Trudeau came to us when his owner had to move and could not take him. He's understandably subdued in the shelter setting, having previously lived in a home. His foster mom reports that he's gentle, affectionate and calm in the house. We are looking for a patient adopter who will take the time to understand his needs and be his best pal. Trudeau can live with adults and dog-savvy teenagers but he must be the only dog in the home. Trudeau is currently in a foster home but you can call Seattle Humane at 425-649-7563 to set up a meeting! Are you a leader of the pack? We're excited to announce the launch of our new donor program, Leader of the Pack. Leader of the Pack members are compassionate and generous animal lovers whose gifts provide the foundation of the life-saving work we do. They contribute $1,000 and more in a calendar year, and by doing so are eligible to enjoy special opportunities for engagement and experience first-hand the impact they are making on the lives of animals at Seattle Humane. For more information about becoming a Leader of the Pack, contact Lisa Huang, Major Gifts Officer, at 425-274-1507 or email LisaHuang@seattlehumane.org.
