Our shelter provides a safe haven to animals for as long as it takes for them to find a permanent home. Seeing an animal find a loving family is what really gets our tails wagging. In light of our desire to promote adoptions as one of our primary pet services, our shelter hours are listed at the bottom of each page. If you’re interested in adopting a pet, pay us a visit! We also strongly encourage you and your family to spend some time at our animal shelter. Interacting with our pets can help make sure you choose one that you can give a loving forever home to, who makes each day better and brighter for you and your family.

Not every family with a pet is always able to provide for all its needs. That’s why many of our other pet services center around equipping low-income families with donated pet food and inexpensive veterinary services. We’re proud to say that each year, our pet food bank is able to distribute more than 35,000 pounds of donated pet food into the community.

We work in conjunction with local businesses to host hundreds of off-site educational and adoption events to find homes and further ensure the adoptions of our animals. Through these events, we increase the community awareness of our programs and pet services, and educate the public on the need to spay and neuter. Classroom visits are another way that we reach out to the community. If you’d like us to come speak to your students, we’re available to give presentations on a variety of shelter-related topics.

You can also learn more about us and our animals by taking a tour of the shelter. Tours are offered on a limited basis. To find out more and for tour availability please connect with us at ryanr@spokanehumanesociety.org
