Our Mission
In 2010, the Seattle Animal Shelter and a committed group of volunteers recognized that there were certain needs beyond the scope of what the City could fund. To better address these needs, the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) was formed.
SASF raises critical funds to help enrich the lives of Seattle’s animals and empowers volunteers and the local community to be part of the effort.
Recent News
The Seattle Animal Shelter helps thousands of dogs, cats and critters every year. SASF provides the shelter with a new way to support the many services and programs it provides for animals and the Seattle community.
