Animal lovers and their pets gathered at Seattle Humane Society’s 12th annual Walk for the Animals at University Village's FidoFEST on Sunday, Oct. 5 raising more than $132,000 for the animals! These life-saving funds will help Seattle Humane continue to provide food, shelter, and medical care to thousands of pets in need in our community.
