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: Snickers

Meet Snickers! This two-year-old pittie mix is very friendly and known for her silly, expressive face. We’ve tried to tell her she’s not a lap dog, but she will always take a lap seat if it’s open. She loves playing with her dog friends but can be a little too exuberant for some dogs. She is also working on her leash skills and would love to join a family that can help her continue to learn. Treat yourself to a visit with Snickers!
