Financial Assistance
At Seattle Humane, we recognize when pet owners are experiencing financial hardship, displacement or housing insecurity, their pets are affected in many ways as well. A variety of pet needs arise, both large and small. Through our Pet Resource Center, we offer support to keep your family together. See below for information about our different programs offering financial assistance.
We're Here to Help
We also offer pet food and supplies through our Pet Food Bank and veterinary care for income-qualifying families through our Spay/Neuter program or Community Clinic.
If you are in need of support or have questions, please contact us at pethelp@seattlehumane.org or call (425) 649-7566.

Pets for Life
Pets for Life is a program model started by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to help address the lack of access to pet resources experienced by families living in underserved communities.
Pets for Life (PFL) programs can be found in over 50 cities nationwide. Although independent from each other, all PFL programs utilize door-to-door outreach to build 1:1 relationships and a consistent community presence. This approach reaches community members who often have the least amount of access to information and services.
The Pets for Life program at Seattle Humane serves people and animals in Seattle’s 98108, 98106 and 98146 zip codes and provides free spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, pet supplies and other pet care resources.
If you live in the 98108, 98106 or 98146 zip code and would like more information, please contact us at petsforlife@seattlehumane.org, or call or text (206) 818-8540.
