Seattle Animal Foundation

Last year, SAF provided over $400,000 to promote care and adoption for Seattle's pets.

Since 2010, Seattle Animal Foundation has been raising funds to help Greater Seattle's animals find their forever homes. Through a variety of grants, we're making a greater impact than ever before.

Owned Animal Assistance is just one example of how your donations are turned into community action and support.

What is Owned Animal Assistance? The goal is to help pet owners keep their pets by assisting with supplies or financial support to cover things like veterinary care, behavior support, and other needs. Examples:

• Offering discounted adoption fees for animals with long shelter stays. Long shelter stays can lead to increased stress, illness and behavior challenges which can make them less appealing to adopters. Discounted or waived fees helps incentivize adoptions.
• Monthly Pet Food Banks where volunteers distributed food to over 800 households last year alone.
• Purchasing Pet License Fee Waivers for individuals in need of financial support. These waivers help pet owners reclaim their pets and avoid fines for unlicensed pets. 

SAF isn’t just a fundraising organization; we’re a community of changemakers. We’re here to empower you—our donors, volunteers, and local businesses—to connect with the causes that need your support the most; bringing hope and joy to animals and the people who love them.
