We celebrated our 125th anniversary in a big way! FurrBall 2022 almost doubled in size and sold out.

What started as Tux and Tails has grown to an 800+ seat gala dinner which has been voted one of the three best galas in Spokane! This fun, yet meaningful swanky night began with a cocktail hour, followed by a three-course sit-down dinner, live and silent auctions, our signature Christmas trees and live music! Although a formal event – it was an evening of festive fun in support of our furry, four-legged friends. Every donation goes directly to supporting our vision at Spokane Humane Society, enriching the lives of our animals and their companions through Support, Education, Advocacy and Love (SEAL).

Spokane Humane Society’s 19th Annual Parade of Paws happened and on our 125th anniversary. Held on June 18, 2022. Over 400 of you showed up and with your fur babies too!

This year, for the first time, our fun-packed 2 mile walk took place at the Forestry Shelter in Riverfront Park. We celebrated our 125th anniversary and unveiled our new SHS Dog Park, named Paw Park.

Parade of Paws benefits the animals at the Spokane Humane Society awaiting their forever homes. Thank you for showing up and joining the fun!
