Pawsitive Alliance works across Washington to help homeless cats and dogs find loving homes, and prevent pets from becoming homeless.
Our programs focus on increasing shelter adoptions, spay/neuter surgeries, and keeping pets in homes.
We are a volunteer-driven nonprofit helping cats and dogs across Washington because they all deserve a healthy and happy life.

#WhyNotMePets Highlight - Winnie!
Pet supplies needed!

Pawsitive Alliance provides essential supplies for the pets of people experiencing housing or financial instability, we also deliver supplies to both human and animal welfare agencies across Washington. So far in 2023, we have delivered over 46,000 pounds of essential supplies thanks to the support of individuals and businesses who donated supplies.
We frequently receive more requests for cat and kitten kibble (dry food), scratchers and litter than we get donated. You can improve the life a cat and dog in our state by providing pet supplies, new or used (clean and in working order, open food is fine if it is sealed and in it's original packaging). Order directly from our Chewy Wish list and have items shipped to us!
Read more about our efforts to keep pets thriving with their caretakers on our Pet Retention page.
