Would you like to build your immunity, relieve stress, and lower your blood pressure? Adopt a furry friend! Pet owners everywhere agree that pets come with perks and numerous studies confirm the health benefits of having a Fluffy or a Fido in your life. Just ask Terry and Dave Cockrill who lost more than 80 pounds after adopting Lucy, a 5-year-old Beagle mix, from Seattle Humane! See their photos and learn more about how pets are great for your health.

We adopted Pinky (now Buster) and just wanted to send word that she is doing well and has grown so much! As you can see, she has made herself at home and has definitely become part of the family. She loves to chase her tail and have her belly rubbed, and she even knows how to play fetch - well, kind of. We just wanted to express our gratitude to Seattle Humane and we look forward to many more years with Buster.

Thanks ~ Sarah Benner & Shawn McKee
