Saving Lives, Completing Families

Founded in 1897, Seattle Humane proudly promotes the human-animal bond by saving and serving pets in need. We are more than a shelter – Seattle Humane is a resource center for the region, 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. All made possible through the support of a generous community.

Featured Pet: Maxine

Maxine is one of Seattle Humane’s longest-tenured dogs, first arriving in late September 2025. She is a sweet 7-year-old terrier/American pit bull mix who loves people and already knows all the most important tricks! Don’t let her age fool you; Maxine still has plenty of energy and loves to play with both human friends and other dogs. She has also spent time with cats during foster breaks and gotten along well. Maxine will accept pets and snuggles at any time. Her new family can name their own adoption fee.
