Pets For Seniors Adoption Discount Program
The Humane Society for Seattle/King County proudly promotes the human-animal bond and understands that many senior citizens have limited financial resources. The Humane Society has a special program that provides a $50.00 discount on the adoption fee for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for senior citizens 60 and older. We certainly don't want to make any assumptions about your age, so please mention this special offer at the time of adoption.
