ADOPTED: A few doors down from those Recess puppies is the sweetest senior shih tzu. Ziggy has been at Seattle Humane since late January. An easygoing 8-year-old who just wants to cuddle, go on nice walks and eat tasty treats in his golden years, we hope an equally sweet family with a soft spot for seniors brings Ziggy home soon. | Seattle Humane

Everyone knows that the dog you adopt from a shelter isn't the same when they finally settle into a loving home - they're so much better! Poor Nori spent the past five years in a loving home before ending up at Seattle Humane. He simply does not want to be here, and we can't blame him. He feels instantly more relaxed outside of his kennel. There is no shelter in the world that is a better substitute than a loving home, and there are so many dogs like Nori waiting to get back to the life they onc

We sometimes see adopted puppies get returned because - spoiler alert - they can be a lot of work. If only we had some trained dogs here who know how to sit, stay, shake, walk well on a leash and poop outside. We do? Once again, let us introduce you to smart and cuddly Rufus! If you want a puppy, we got them too, and dog training courses you should definitely enroll in. | Seattle Humane

Not every dog available for adoption at Seattle Humane qualifies for a simple curbside adoption. Some pups need to meet with prospective adopters in order to determine if they connect. Many times it’s the big dogs, but then there’s cases like Olive. When she left for her foster home, Olive had a strong case of stranger danger. She didn’t appear to have that problem when she came back to campus to meet her new mom, who quickly learned that Olive is motivated by warm laps more than crunchy treats.

We love their puppy energy, but we'd love even more to see them in loving homes, and that's where you come in - literally! Swing by the shelter or fill out an online application for some puppy power, or share this post with someone who could use a million wet kisses and cuddles!! https://bit.ly/3jul3ZQ | Seattle Humane

We've got shepherds and huskies aplenty, but maybe you didn't notice them due to their shy and fearful nature. Apricot and Tangerine are part of a surrender case with multiple other huskies who have never lived inside. The shepherds were likewise surrendered as a large group and are working on being brave. We think they'd all love to go home to families with friendly and confident doggos to help them warm up to their new people. There's always time to make a difference for dogs in need of a litt

ADOPTED: If you're coming in looking for a senior cat who will instantly seek you out for cuddles, then please ask an adoption advisor to direct you to Nick's room. He's got a green sticker on his door that says he's ready to mix and mingle - it basically means he's good with everyone. That's a lot of senior pets, but sadly they spend more time waiting than the rest. Even if Nick's not for you, we invite anyone needing a cuddle to pay him a visit! | Seattle Humane

Our friends at Yakima Valley Pet Rescue delivered a big dose of cuteness to our door the other day! Rico, Roscoe, Rosie, Rebecca and River are just one of many unwanted litters born here in Washington looking for loving families. Thankfully, they were all spayed and neutered the other day, so these babies won't be having babies! Word is mom is a husky and dad is a bully, and the combination is ridiculously adorable. Get on down to Seattle Humane and visit these precious puppies! | Seattle Humane

They say hindsight is 2020, but we're paw-sitive that the best is yet to come, if the first adoption weekend of the New Year is any indication. Twenty-four dogs, cats, and small critters met their families and went to their new homes. That total included bonded senior puppers Rusty and Sophie, who couldn't help but jump for joy when they heard the news that they and so many of their furry friends had been adopted! | Seattle Humane

It's always so hard when senior pets enter the shelter system. Petey and Holly were surrendered to Yakima Humane when their owners passed away with no other family to claim them. It's been a hard road for these bonded chihuahua mixes, but they have each other and, occasionally, a little taste of what life used to be before everything they knew ended. Let's give these sweet seniors a new beginning and a family to love them and keep them comfortable in their golden years. | Seattle Humane

If you're looking for endless cuddles and to have a lap that never gets cold, then this adoptable cat fits the Bill! Known to his good friends as Billiam or Cuddles Magee, Bill arrived through our rescue partner, Barn Cats R Us just the other day and wasted no time endearing himself to every human to enter his room. He's a big boy though, so he would very much appreciate larger, more permanent accommodations - any takers? And, no, we will not send you Bill in the mail! | Seattle Humane

ADOPTED:Seattle Humane launched a field trip program for our shelter dogs earlier this year, where staff and volunteers take them out on fun hikes or to Sniffspots for an afternoon of play and relaxation. Sniffspots are kind of like Airbnbs for dogs, where folks rent out their backyards or fields.* Of all the dogs in our care, Bronny has seen the most action, but that's probably because he's been here since July. He has spent half of his 10 months on this planet in shelters. He's big, goofy and

Yup, he's been looking for the purrfect family since last May, but Maximus can't tell time and wouldn't let it bother him if he could. Like most cats, he just likes things his way and on his terms, and we're here to make sure he gets the cuddles he wants when he wants them until the right people make their hearts, home and laps available to him! | Seattle Humane

ADOPTED: Cesar came to Seattle Humane on a Lifesaver Rescue transfer out of Texas more than two years ago and was adopted a short time later. Sadly, a family emergency necessitated Cesar's return to the shelter where, to no one's surprise, he is not very happy. Cesar isn't a fan of other dogs, but he really enjoys people (unless you're a vet or groomer 😅). While we're sorry to see Cesar return, we'll be so happy to see this little prince go home once again! | Seattle Humane

Silver dobie Evy has been very helpful in getting her outside for potty breaks. Evy loves dogs and people, and she has

We are starting to see more kittens coming into this world and, while that might be great news for prospective adopters, not all of the mama cats out there are as thrilled about it.

Thankfully, mama is still nursing these little babies, so she and her litter will be going to a loving foster home until they're old en
