Pet clothing & canned food drive
|
Pawsitive Alliance provides essential pet supplies and ID for the pets of 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 partnered with the recycling company Ridwell, on a big supply drive. A big thanks to Ridwell for collecting pet food and clothing from their Seattle clients in July; they are busy sorting the items now and we can't wait to pick up the items in August. These donations will be put to good use for our various events and partners, thank you! (Pictured to the right is a Ridwell employee and our Board Member Yolanda Morris, taken during our 2021 Ridwell supply drive where we received 60 boxes of donated leashes, collars, and harnesses!) 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.
Note: Plates are available for registered passenger vehicles, light duty pickups, trailers, motorcycles and campers in Washington State. For questions, or to locate vehicle licensing offices, visit the Washington State Department of Licensing.
