I want a pet : How to pick the perfect pet
Let Us Help You Find Your New Best Friend!
At the Seattle Humane Society, we offer a wide selection of cats, dogs, rabbits, small animals and occasionally birds. From Siamese cats to adorable kittens, from tiny terriers to playful labs, we have animals for all lifestyles.
Choosing to adopt a four-legged family member is a big decision. The Seattle Humane Society strives to match people with animals who fit their lifestyles. You will want to consider various reasons for adding a pet to your family; is it for companionship, a motivator to exercise, or a friend for your children? We are here to help you consider these questions and more!
To start, we recommend reading our "Choosing a Pet" booklet. Additionally, the information on the above tabs will help you get a better idea of the ideal animal for your family. Once you have the perfect pet in mind, use our online search option to see what dogs, cats, and critters we have at the Seattle Humane Society. And of course, we welcome you to visit our pets in person and to speak with our trained Adoption Counselors!
