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. 

What an incredible Day of Giving!

A huge thank you to our community for supporting Seattle Humane’s Day of Giving on September 19, 2024! With your help, we were able to raise over $200,000 and meet our match for this important fundraiser. This generous support directly impacts thousands of dogs, cats and critters right here in our community.

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!
