Adoption Program
We help the thousands of Washington’s homeless cats and dogs find their forever home.
Pet Retention Program
We provide free pet ID tags and supplies to keep cats and dogs thriving with their caretakers.
Spay & Neuter Program
We connect people with spay/neuter services to help stop overpopulation of cats and dogs.
Results are in…1,845 spays and neuters done in 2025!
Our SNIP Program -
- provides free or low-cost spay and neuter surgeries,
- serves unowned community cats and dogs,
- serves pets of unhoused folks, low-income people, and Tribsl members,
- focuses in Puget Sound and Central WA.
The majority of these surgeries were performed in Yakima County, an area of extreme overpopulation that we are working to increase services to
Total spent was $170,000.
Thank you to our donors and partners for helping us reach the animals who need our help the most. 💗

Banjo was found last week in Yakima County, he was starving, injured, and terrified.
At just 20 pounds, he needed emergency care — and Pawsitive Alliance’s Pawsitive Lifeline Fund covered his medical costs without hesitation. (thank you, donors! 💌)
After being released from the veterinarian, he needed a safe place to heal, rest, and learn that there are trustworthy people in this world. A foster with Yakima Valley Pet Rescue stepped up and Banjo is now safe in their care and coming out of his shell.💗
🐾 Fosters, rescuers, and donors are our heroes. Thank you! 🐾

Dorothy is a 3-legged wonder dog with a whole lotta 💗 who is still waiting for her forever home.
Dorothy is a brave, beautiful young dog who has already overcome more than most. Found alone on a remote logging road with serious injuries, she has made an incredible recovery. With time, care, and love, Dorothy has blossomed into a happy pup who’s ready for her next chapter.
Dorothy enjoys running and playing, but she’s just as happy relaxing quietly or entertaining herself with a toy. She loves cozy snuggles, never turns down a belly rub, and forms deep bonds with the people she trusts.
Dorothy may be a little shy at first and prefers calm surroundings, but once she feels safe, her sweet and loyal personality truly shines.
Dorothy’s ideal home:
🐶 A single person or couple
🏡 Quiet, peaceful environment
🚫 No other dogs or children in the home
💛 Patient, compassionate humans who will let her build trust at her own pace
To help her find her match, her adoption fee has been reduced by 50%.
If you think Dorothy might be your soulmate pup, please submit a foster or adoption application with her caregivers at the Humane Society of Mason County. Your home could be the safe haven she’s been waiting for.
Thanks to Warm106.9 and carpetliquidators for highlighting Dorothy! 👏👏

WOW! Our volunteer crew rounded up and distributed 77,193 POUNDS of pet food last year to help feed cats and dogs in need across Washington!
They did this one can and one bag of food at a time.
We don`t have any dedicated storage space for this effort, as most storage facilities don`t allow food, so they store it in their cars, their garages, in their houses; when there`s a car load, we get it moved to partners across the state who distribute it.
These resources support pet owners who are unhoused and Tribal members plus human and animal-welfare partners, primarily in Puget Sound and Central Washington.
2025 was a record breaking year, and 77,193 is a lot, BUT this food gets used up as quickly as we can gather it.
If you want to get involved to help us collect and move pet food, please let us know. We also gather and distribute pet supplies but due to capacity, we aren`t able to closely track the weight of those donations.
In addition to thanking volunteers for their hard work, and our rescue partners for helping us get the food to needy animals, we also need to thank all the individuals, organizations, and businesses who collect items for us:
@allthebestpetcare , @bellasvoice , @greyhoundpetsinc , @hiccpet , @homeward_pet , Everyone Needs A Home, Martha Faulkner Broker, RSVP Real Estate , @metrodogsea , @getridwell , @qfcgrocery , Reber Ranch , PAWS - Progressive Animal Welfare Society, @northeastveterinaryhospital
