The Humane Society for Seattle/King County - Foster
Our Mission
Seattle Humane is dedicated to creating a kinder world for pets and the people who love them. We strive to make an impact by providing essential resources that keep families together and offer animals a fresh start.
Our Commitment to Community
Since our inception, we have served as a vital resource center for the community. We recognize that when pet owners face financial hardship or housing insecurity, their pets are affected as well, which is why we offer programs like our pet food bank and veterinary support to provide stability.
How We Care
At Seattle Humane, we operate a high-volume teaching hospital, the Schuler Family Medical Center, to provide essential medical care for our animals. Our care model blends shelter-based services with an active foster network, which provides large dogs and other animals a loving break from the shelter environment. Every animal in our care receives veterinary attention, including spay and neuter services, vaccinations, and microchipping before finding their new home.
Building Lifelong Bonds
Finding the perfect companion is a joyous experience, and we are committed to making that process as smooth as possible. We focus on transparent, compassionate matching to ensure every pet finds a home where they will thrive. Our team of adoption advisors is dedicated to guiding you through this exciting journey, ensuring you have the support you need for a successful transition.

10/18 - Adoptable Seattle Humane pup, Benny, on field trip. 1 year, 1 month, 71 lbs. Not much of still photo here because this guy was full of action, not much laying down or even sitting, definitely not more than a minute or two. Plenty of running, zoomies. Even with this much activity for over 2 hours, he barely laid down in the car on the way back 😂 He’d definitely benefit from a good sized yard. #adoptabledog

10/15 - Toni is a sensitive mellow fella looking for his forever home through Seattle Humane in Bellevue, Wa. Here’s what I think you should know about Toni: • Toni’s 3 favorite activities are: napping, snoozing, and lounging • Toni scares easily, especially with noises, so he’s looking for a quiet home with patient adopters • Toni has lived with another dog in the past: he preferred to just coexist rather than be BFFs • His foster parent @jessicrast says he is perfectly house trained and just sleeps when she leaves the house

10/14 - Yesterday, I was the solo flight crew for a @wingsofrescue_official mission, loading and flying 30 large-breed dogs and 25 cats from Riverside to @seattlehumane . Large dogs can be especially hard to place here in Los Angeles, so getting them to Seattle, where they have a great chance of being adopted, gives them a fresh start. One of those dogs spent five hours on my lap. We were both wedged into a position that wasn’t exactly comfortable, but she never complained or fussed. We just enjoyed each other’s company, and the flight flew by. I’ve flown thousands of dogs with Wings of Rescue, and every once in a while, one makes it impossible to say goodbye. I think I met my soul dog yesterday. She may be making one more trip south—this time to join my other two rescues and become part of our tribe. ❤️🐾✈️ #letthefurfly
