Woofstock 2010 Breaks Adoption Records! Woofstock was a tremendous success! 21 rescues, 9 non-profits, 21 vendors, and 9 sponsors braved the wind, the cold, and the rain. Despite the weather, the people who wanted to adopt showed up to find their new family members, and a record 121 animals were adopted in those 6 hours!
Many Happy Wags and Purrs After the Woodinville Wags & Whiskers Event! Woodinville Wags & Whiskers was a howling (and purring) success with 51 dogs and 17 cats adopted! This event was a wonderful collaboration with Dr. Weinrauch of the Banfield Corporation and the Woodinville PetSmart store.
Below is a picture of a hound puppy adopted last Sunday. This puppy was one of several pups in a litter who, along with their mama, were tied to the fence of Happy Paws Farm Humane Society recently. This adoption event gave them the opportunity to find loving families to care for them and give them the chance at a great life.

Seven other happy pooches were transferred from high-intake shelters to private rescues, alleviating the overcrowding at their facilities. Thank you to everyone involved for their hard work and continued dedication. It’s a thrill to work together to adopt out so many wonderful dogs and help people find their new family member!
Below is a photo of Michael and his new pal River. Michael and his family attended the Dog Ownership Basics Workshop before the event. If you are thinking of bringing a new pet into your family, we hope you consider attending this workshop before the next event. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn how to select the right dog for your family and tips for successfully integrating the dog into your household. Workshop attendees receive a certificate allowing them early entry into an adoption event.

Help Save Washington's Dogs and Cats Help save dogs and cats in Washington by supporting a spay/neuter assistance bill in the next state legislative session! A bill will be introduced that will help pay for spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats owned by low-income individuals, and spay/neuter surgeries for feral and free-roaming cats. We need affordable and accessible spay/neuter surgery throughout Washington to help end the euthanasia of tens of thousands of dogs and cats in our shelters each year--animals that are healthy or treatable and just don't have a home. Please visit Save Washington Pets for more information.
