Summer Heat Safety for Pets
Summer in Seattle is a great time to be outside, but it’s not always as ideal for our furry friends. Check out this guide to Summer Heat Safety and best practices for bringing along your four-legged family members. If you plan to visit Seattle Humane’s adoption center with an animal, ensure you have a plan in place, so your pet is not left alone in the parking lot inside a vehicle.

Featured Pet: Fia
Whether it’s an adventure or a cuddle session, Fia’s in. All she wants is a friend. This four-year-old Terrier/Pit Bull mix adores her people and will even do a happy dance when they come home from a long day. She has bundles of energy and enjoys all kinds of activities, including walks, road trips and swimming in lakes. Fia already knows “sit,” “wait,” and is learning more tricks every day! Fia’s new family can name their own adoption fee. She is with a foster family currently, so reach out if you want to meet this sweet gal!
Introducing our new Together for Pets Luncheon

Support the Prohibition of Pet Fees in Seattle!
Seattle Humane supports Seattle City Council Bill CB 121254, which would prohibit pet fees beyond a reasonable, refundable pet damage deposit. Excessive pet rent and non-refundable pet fees can create barriers to housing and may force families to surrender beloved pets. By reducing unnecessary housing costs for pet owners while preserving protections for property owners, this bill helps keep pets and the people who love them together. Learn more about the bill here and take action below!
Foster a Pet
Shelters across the country are full of large dogs, and the longer they stay, the more stressed they become. While adoption is the goal, the next best solution to reducing stress is getting them into loving foster homes. Seattle Humane is looking for foster parents who can give some of our large dogs a break!
