Tuxes & Tails was the paw-ty of the year!

Our Rescue Squad wagged those paddles and helped us exceed our goal and raise over $1.6 million in support of pets and the people who love them.

If you were unable to join us, there’s still time to make a gift in support of our furry friends! And you can experience the fun by checking out the highlight reel below.

Get Ready for Day of Giving!

A huge thank you to our community for supporting Seattle Humane’s Day of Giving last year! With your help, we were able to raise over $200,000 and meet our match for this important fundraiser.

Thankful for YOU!

Over 750 donors made a generous Giving Tuesday gift this year to save lives and complete families. Together, we raised over $130,000 and counting! Donations will provide expert veterinary care, meals and shelter that is desperately needed right now for pets in our region. Thank you!
