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: Hamilton

Sweet Hamilton is a blind, 1-year-old mixed breed dog. He came to Seattle Humane through a transfer in January with a brother who is also blind and has been adopted. His foster parents say he’s been having a blast on walks and has turned into quite the explorer! Though they stick to quiet streets and avoid other dogs as they tend to stress him out. Hamilton quickly got the hang of their home layout and navigates it effortlessly, only bumping into things that are out of place.
