It’s easy to join the fun from any location! Just visit our Kitten Shower Event page, which includes all the information you need including how to provide critical supplies to help mama cats and their kittens, aged newborn to a few months old, thrive.

Homeless Harriet is our 500th pet to be highlighted in our #WhyNotMePets campaign, which brings renewed attention to Washington's homeless pets, like Harriet, who have been overlooked for months, sometimes years.
She is a sweet 10-year-old Miniature Poodle mix whose eyesight has faded but her zest for life hasn’t. She should be napping on a couch in her senior years, yet this little gal was brought into the Yakima Humane Society as a stray after being found in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant. After tending to her immediate needs, she was transferred to Wags to Riches Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, so she could receive some much-needed TLC, and where she has been waiting for nearly six months to be adopted.
Whoever is the lucky person to adopt Harriet will receive a gift basket and a gift certificate from The Seattle Barkery, and a gift certificate from Pet Central Kent!
Check her out on our #WhyNotMePets page.

Bark at the Park
|
|
We have partnered with Seattle Mariners to bring some un-furrgettable adoptable dogs to their Bark at the Park events for the 2022 MLB season!
Our first Bark at the Park event on May 9 was a resounding success!!! Dog Gone Seattle and Motley Zoo Animal Rescue & Sanctuary brought their adorable, adoptable pooches and were definitely the STAR attraction of the night! TONS of people met and greeted these well-behaved and calm dogs. Check out the videos to see some of these adoptable dogs. Homeward Pet Adoption Center and Pasado's Safe Haven was also present to educate, inform and promote their adoptable dog. TONS of the cutest pooches with their Mariner's mom and pop fans played our "Spin-the-Wheel," and won prizes! And of course, to watch the baseball game as well... as in, the fans, not the dogs. Our next Bark at the Park event will be Monday, June 27, and we can't wait! We will be making FREE custom pet ID tags for any cat or dog (pet does not need to be present), and playing “Spin-the-Wheel,” and our partners Forgotten Dogs Rescue, Seattle Humane Society, and Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue will be bringing their adorable and adoptable dogs for this June event! Make sure to stop by and visit us and meet the adoptable dogs! The Bark at the Park dog-friendly baseball games occur on June 27, August 23, and September 28. Gates open at 5:10 pm for the public. Grab your tickets, for you and your four-legged friends, and get ready to head out to the old ball game on June 27! |

Pet clothing & canned food drive
|
Pawsitive Alliance provides essential pet supplies and ID to the pets to the people experiencing housing or financial instability in King County, we also deliver supplies to both human and animal welfare agencies across Washington. To support this work, we’ve partnered with Ridwell, a recycling company, that was started by a father and son, and who made a scrappy business into something very large.
Ridwell will be collecting donated pet products such as cool and warm weather clothing from July 11 – 22 from their Seattle customers. These donations will be put to good use for our various events and partners. If you are interested in hosting a pet supply drive to benefit pets in need, please contact us at info@pawsitivealliance.org! |

2021's life-changing results!
Pawsitive Alliance continued to evolve over the past year to meet the challenges of making Washington a better place for cats and dogs and their caretakers. The human/animal bond is at the forefront of our mission to help cats and dogs in need. We are proud of the work that we have accomplished over the past year with the support of our community of compassionate supporters. With your support, our team has been relentless as we continue the quest to prevent pet homelessness and suffering for cats and dogs. In 2022, we are: * Providing free identification tags so lost pets can be returned home quickly and safely, addressing the #1 reason cats and dogs are in Washington’s shelters: lost without identification to find their way home. * Focusing on the barriers to spay and neuter to increase spay and neuter surgeries in at least five counties in Washington, with a focus on serving the many colonies of community cats with high rates of suffering and pets of homeless individuals. * Driving attention to our #WhyNotMePets to find homes for these long-term and harder to adopt pets. * Providing essential supplies to the pets of folks experiencing housing or financial instability so they and their pets can thrive together. |

SPAY ~ NEUTER ~ ADOPT LICENSE PLATES
Did you know Washington State has a specialty license plate to support spay and neuter?
We are offering low-cost spay (female) and neuter (male) surgeries for dogs in Grant County in 2021 thanks to a grant from Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies (visit our Spay and Neuter Help page for info).
The plates can be purchased through the Department of Licensing and $28 of the purchase price goes to a Spay/Neuter Grant Program managed by our partners at Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies (WFACCA). WFACCA awards grants quarterly to Washington animal agencies for the purpose of increasing spay/neuter services. The plates have been recently redesigned and are on track to raise $58,620 in 2021! Pawsitive Alliance has been a recipient of grant funds supported by these specialty plates, enabling us to increase affordable spay and neuter to pets of low-income or homeless individuals across our state, mostly in areas of high pet overpopulation.
Please consider purchasing one of these specialty plates, 100% of the funds generated through this program go directly into grants for spay/neuter programs for publicly owned and free-roaming animals in Washington.
