About Seattle Humane

Founded in 1897, Seattle Humane proudly promotes the human-animal bond by saving and serving pets in need. We are one of the region’s leaders in animal adoption, education and welfare. Seattle Humane is more than a shelter—we are a community resource center, providing adoption services, a pet food bank and support for pet owners, low-cost spay/neuter surgeries and wellness exams, humane education for all ages and more. Approximately two thirds of the pets in our shelter come to us through our Lifesaver Rescue Program. Through Lifesaver Rescue transfers, pets get a second chance to be connected with a loving family, and we support other shelters in Washington and across the country that lack space or resources to care for them. All of this work is made possible by the support of a generous community, and through our outreach, advocacy and services we strive to ensure that animal companionship is accessible to all. In 2022, we celebrated 125 years of saving lives and completing families. Learn more about our rich past and present, and our vision for the future.
