A first-of-its-kind facility
Seattle Humane is working with Animal Arts Design Studios and other trusted partners to design a new facility that incorporates the best practices for animal health and welfare and high-volume medical care and adoptions. It’ll be a practical building with spaces that work for both animals and the people who care for them. It’ll also be a place focused on animal happiness and health, a place without the stigma often associated with shelters. Most important of all, it’ll be a place that allows us to have even greater impact by saving even more lives.
Our pledge to you
A safe, efficient, and modern new facility will enable us to place more than 10,000 animals in loving homes every year, compared to the 7,000 we place now. In the first 10 years:
SCHEDULE A TOUR
100,000

200,000

25,000

80,000
low income household pets will receive spay/neuter services
- A unique allianceWe’ve formed a unique and exciting alliance with the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Our new teaching hospital will provide an extraordinary education in community-based, wellness-centered primary animal care for WSU veterinary students.The alliance between our organizations is already showing dramatic results. Vet students are already doing rotations at Seattle Humane, and 75 students will cycle through in 2015. Many of these students will go on to make careers out of shelter medicine or will volunteer for their local shelters.This alliance allows us to maintain or improve our life-saving rate, which is currently 98 percent. In FY 2015-16, we saved and placed nearly 7,000 homeless pets. But we know animal people can do even more, and this partnership will push us in that direction.
