Emerald City Pet Rescue

Mission

Founded by Vivian Goldbloom in 2013, Emerald City Pet Rescue exists to rescue abused, neglected, and homeless animals from high-volume shelters around the country.

Description

At Emerald City Pet Rescue, we are committed to providing care, rehabilitation, and second chances to animals who need more, especially those with medical and behavioral challenges.

Our team of dedicated staff, caregivers, and volunteers works tirelessly to support animals at every stage of their journey, from urgent rescue to recovery and, ultimately, adoption. We believe every animal deserves the opportunity to live a safe, healthy, and fulfilling life regardless of their past or condition.

In addition to our rescue and adoption program, our work extends to Ghost Owl Farm, our 70-acre sanctuary on Vashon Island. There, nearly 80 animals live in long-term care, including horses and other residents with ongoing medical needs or those who require a lifelong place of safety. At the farm, care doesn’t end, it evolves. These animals receive daily support, specialized diets, medication, and the space to simply be.

For those ready for adoption, we take great care in making lasting matches. Our process includes meet and greets, reference checks, and home visits to ensure each animal is placed in a home that truly fits their needs.

When you support Emerald City Pet Rescue, you are making all of this possible, from lifesaving intervention to lifelong sanctuary care. Your generosity allows us to continue saying yes to animals who need us most, and to give them not just a second chance, but a better life.
