FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 27, 2018

Seattle Humane announced it has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to support its life-saving work in Washington and beyond.

Seattle Humane has been saving animals and completing families since 1897, and the impact has been tremendous. In 2017, Seattle Humane provided care for more than 7,500 animals and 5,100 surgical procedures were performed in Seattle Humane's veterinary clinic. The organization also had several record-breaking adoption months, all while achieving a 98.61 percent life-saving rate, one of the highest in the nation. 

The Petco Foundation investment will support Seattle Humane’s effort to save 10,000 animals annually within a few years of operation in their new facility that opened in December of 2017.      

“This grant will give us the tools we need to continue our life-saving work, and take monumental steps towards bettering the future for animal welfare,” said David Loewe, CEO. “We can hardly wait to share the number of lives impacted by the Petco Foundation’s generosity!”
