PET RETENTION

Picture
Our Pet Retention Program is designed to keep pets with their caretaker. 

One of the most common reasons pets end up in a shelter in Washington state is they become separated from their caretakers and are brought into an adoption agency by good Samaritans or animal control. When an animal doesn't have an ID tag or microchip, they are labeled as "stray," and soon put up for adoption or transferred to another agency. To help lost pets get returned to their homes as quickly as possible, we provide free pet ID tags at events we host in communities throughout Washington. 

It is estimated that up to 10% of the homeless population has pets; the city of Seattle, located in King County, Washington, has the third largest homeless population in the US. We honor that income should not be a barrier to keeping a pet. These are beloved pets whose caretakers want the best for them. In 2019, we began delivering much needed pet supplies to our rescue partners and directly to people experiencing housing or financial instability. In 2021 alone, we gave out over 30,000 lbs of food and essential supplies.

Pawsitive Alliance continues to work with our partners to provide medical care, pet ID, and supplies for the pets of people experiencing housing or financial instability to keep them safe and cared for.

Pawsitive Lifeline Fund - providing urgent medical care to the pets in most need.

Our Pawsitive Lifeline Fund helps to cover the costs of urgent veterinary care for the pets of people in King County, WA, experiencing homelessness or financial instability. To help meet this need, we received seed funding from Lucky 7 Foundation of $2,500 in 2020; funds from compassionate individuals are critical to allow us to continue filling this critical need for care.
Clients are identified by our wellness partners, Seattle Veterinary Outreach and Doney Coe Pet Clinic, and will be prioritized based on several criteria including urgent need for the procedure, whether the animal provides services to the caretaker (service dog guide dog, etc) and the situation of the caretaker.

Keeping Pets in the Home:
We focus on building a happy and healthy experience for pets and their families to support a lifelong bond. Many dogs and cats are given up because of easily corrected behavior problems. We want to see pets stay in their homes and to live happy lives with their families.
