About Seattle Humane

SEATTLE HUMANE’S mission is to promote the human-animal bond by saving and serving pets in need, and we’ve been doing just that since 1897. We are an independent, donor-funded nonprofit animal welfare organization and we save nearly 7,000 abandoned, stray and surrendered pets in our community every year. We find loving homes for every healthy and adoptable animal who enters our doors, and we have no time limits on their stay.

We are proud to serve the people and pets of King County with a variety of programs including adoptions, veterinary services, dog training classes, a pet food bank, and humane education for children of all ages.

All healthy and adoptable companion animals are given as long as it takes for us to find them a home of their own, regardless of age, beauty or infirmity. In addition, we provide medical care and treatment for our shelter guests who need a little something extra to make them adoptable. Shelter guests are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, examined by one of our staff veterinarians, and temperament tested prior to being made available for adoption.

The simple truth is that animals benefit greatly from what we do. But people benefit as well. We support and encourage the human/animal bond with programs that bring people and pets together — and keep them together. This has been our commitment to our community for 119 years, and we couldn’t do it without the generous support of sponsors like you.

About Our Tuxes & Tails Gala

WHERE and WHEN?Seattle Humane’s 27th annual Tuxes & Tails gala will take place on Saturday, May 7, 2016, at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue beginning at 5:00 p.m.

WHAT IS TUXES & TAILS?Tuxes & Tails is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. It is a special evening in which more than 900 affluent and influential animal lovers and donors come together to celebrate, bid on wonderful auction items, and support the life-saving work of Seattle Humane. Thanks to generous donors and guests, in 2015 we raised $5.5 million to support the animals of Seattle Humane and the construction of our new shelter set to open in 2017.
