This October, the Seattle Animal Shelter (SAS) will see some major improvements benefiting animals in need. These improvements would not be possible without the generous contributions to the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) from donors like you – THANK YOU!
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see how Pawsitive Projects will transform the Seattle Animal Shelter on October 16th.
To support programs like this, please make a donation or reserve a spot to feature your pet in our 2022 calendar. Thank you!
Giving back looks a little different during a pandemic. While we were sad to cancel the 2021 Furevermore Auction & Gala, we want to keep our supporters, like you, safe.
Still, nothing will stop SASF from rolling up our sleeves to support our mission of serving Seattle animals in need. Rather than host a gala this year, we decided to trade in our coattails for overalls.
Dubbed “Pawsitive Projects,” SASF has created a one-day event that will allow our board members and SASF supporters to complete several improvement projects throughout the shelter. This will be a full day of giving back by working on difficult, time-consuming tasks that will serve SAS and all animals, future adopters, staff and the Seattle community for years to come.
On October 16th, about 25 volunteers will arrive at the shelter to do all the dirty, time-intensive jobs that aren’t included in day-to-day shelter operations. These are projects like deep cleaning the food prep and laundry areas, buffing hallway floors, window washing and repainting dog and cat kennels, and weeding the walkway around the shelter and the dog corral.
… And the cherry on top? Support from donors like you helped SASF purchase over 100 items from the shelter’s wish list that will help feed, train and comfort pets at the shelter waiting for their forever families. These items include bird cages, aquariums, cat beds, critter pens and dog toy bins. SASF volunteers will deliver these gifts to the shelter on the 16th and will help assemble items so they can immediately be enjoyed by pets.
All volunteers have received their COVID-19 vaccines and masks will be worn inside the shelter at all times. We’re looking forward to reconnecting with our pet-loving supporters in a safe setting.
