Supporting Our Community
As part of the City of Seattle, we serve the public by providing essential animal control and welfare services. Our commitment is to ensure the health and safety of both pets and the people who love them throughout our city.
How We Care
We operate as a centralized hub for animal welfare, offering a variety of services including spay and neuter programs to support local pet health. Our professional staff and dedicated team work tirelessly to provide enrichment, medical care, and specialized attention to every animal in our facility.

Adoption is a joyful, lifelong partnership, and we are here to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. Our team is committed to a transparent and supportive adoption process that prioritizes the long-term bond between you and your new companion. We believe that every animal deserves a second chance to thrive in a loving home.

10/16 - What’s better than one husky? Two adorable huskies that are best friends through and through. Meet 🤎 Mochi and Suki 🩶 two sweet sisters-in-spirit who are totally in sync and would love to find a home together! 🤎 Mochi may start out shy, but she gains confidence fast, especially around other dogs. She’s a nap enthusiast, a head-scritch connoisseur, and has the most soulful blue eyes. 🩶 Suki is laid back, confident and great with other dogs, a champ on the treadmill, and has chinchilla-soft fur that no one can resist. Think Mochi and Suki are your perfect pair? Come meet them today at @seattleanimalshelter! #adoptmochi #adoptsuki #seattleanimalshelter

10/6 - Meet Deuce. 🐾 8 months old, small shepherd mix, smart, affectionate and seriously chill for a puppy. He rides beautifully in the car, knows his basics, loves treats, does all his business outside and is happiest hanging out with his people. He’s curious about the world, interested in other dogs and has that sweet puppy energy without being completely bonkers. I fostered him today and came away thinking: this is one nice dog. Go meet Deuce at Seattle Animal Shelter. ❤️@seattleanimalshelter #SeattleDogs #SeattleAnimalShelter #AdoptDeuce #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog
