Pet Clothing & Supply 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 collected donated pet products such as cool and warm weather clothing from July 11–23 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! |

Old Dog Haven
|
|
On Saturday, 07/16, at Cromwell Park in Shoreline, we were at the Old Dog Haven Festival and got our fill of senior dogs with their white hair and warm eyes, whom we love and admire so much.
A crowd of up to 500 attended, and we were there to mail folks 22 FREE pet identification tags. Many people queued up to play Spin-the-Wheel and generously bought raffle tickets to win a homemade blanket! To benefit them, hundreds of fans dropped by for some fun games, food and drinks and auctions! They were dogs dressed in costumes playing games with their person, free cotton candy and pop corn, over 40 vendor booths and food trucks for the hungry. There was pawlm reading for the dogs, nail trims for the pooches and face painting for the kids. If you missed the 2022 event, fear not, as Old Dog Haven has them annually. |
Bark at the Park
|
On a hot Monday evening, June 27, we had our Bark at the Park event, which had our partner animal rescue groups participate. Forgotten Dogs Rescue, OkanDogs Animal Rescue, Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue were on hand with their adorable dogs and puppies, meeting the Mariners' fans!
Our volunteers worked hard getting the Seattle Mariners’ fans and their cute pooches to play our Spin-the-Wheel and get pet ID tags for their beloved dogs and cats. Not that there was a lot of persuading needed to be done, as both the pet ID tags and Spin-the-Wheel were a popular hit! The queues were long and never ending. |

Petpalooza 2022
|
This year's Auburn’s Petpalooza on May 21 at Game Farm Park was so much FUN!!! There was a TON of fun activities for pet lovers and their special four-legged friends everywhere!
We were at our booth and handed out 63 custom pet ID tags! There was a long queue for this, and lots of people wanted one for their pets. Many went home happy with their pet ID tags for their kitties and pooches. We also had a raffle in which winners won 10 gift bags of a paint-kit, kindly donated by PawsWithCause, including a bag of dog treats. The big raffle prize was a handmade blanket that an attendee named Kelda won! She was amazed at how beautiful it was and thrilled to have won it! It was an event for everyone, and Petpalooza made sure to include activities such as the 3k/5k Dog Trot Run, flying ball dog activities, inflatable rides, live entertainment, children’s activities like face painting, a variety of vendors, a food court and beer garden!

Bailing Out Benji at Two Beers Brewing Co.
Whew.. what an event! There were so many adorable dogs and pups up for adoption, and seriously, it wasn't easy to choose for so many people looking to adopt. There was Kimia who held a puppy for the first time in her life, and fell in love! (See photo on the left). Then there was the couple who said they weren't quite ready yet, but kept going back to cuddle with some of Casa Dog's puppies. |
|
The adoption event was by Bailing Out Benji and was held at Two Beers Brewing Co. Animal rescue groups from Forgotten Dogs Rescue, Motley Zoo Animal Rescue, Saving Great Animals and Pasado's Safe Haven had their dogs and pups mingle with guests and potential adopters, who couldn't get enough of them.
Just check out all the cute, adorable dogs such as Mona, Lizzie, Rick, Mocha, Edel, Sadie, and many more! You simply won't be able to get enough.
