To help cats and dogs thrive with their caregivers, Pawsitive Alliance provides pet food supplies to under resourced-people and places across Washington State as well as human and animal-welfare agencies. Additionally, we distribute free pet ID tags and microchips to help reunite lost pets with their loved ones.
We support pet owners as well as rescue agencies, human service organizations, police and animal control officers, tribal community members, and others. Our efforts focus on under-resourced people and places across the state with a focus on Puget Sound and central Washington.
NEED HELP? Visit our Events or Facebook pages for services.
Our goal is to get the items most needed to those who need them the most. To reach pet owners, we often hold free pet supply and ID events and we also distribute pet food and supplies to resource providers serving pet owners as well as homeless pets.
If you are with a human or animal-welfare agency and interested in supporting pets in your community with additional supplies, please email [email protected].
(Need help beyond our services, including help with veterinary/medical expenses? Visit this resource page)
WANT TO HELP? Volunteer or donate!
You can improve the life a cat and dog in our state by providing pet supplies and volunteering! Our pet ID and supply efforts are volunteer driven.
You can help in many ways from becoming a supply driver or recruiting supplies from your networks. We are most commonly low on kibble (dry food) and canned food for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies, litter, and potty pads. We accept new and gently used (must be clean and functional) such as food, treats, leashes, collars, harnesses, clothes, toys, beds - anything that will help keep a pet safe and happy!

Pet Retention Program offers FREE pet ID, food and supplies:
Pet ID tags and microchips:
To help lost pets get returned to their homes as quickly as possible, we provide free pet ID tags and microchips at events and with partners.
WHY?
One of the most common reasons pets end up in a shelter is they become separated from their caretakers. When an animal doesn't have an ID tag or microchip, they are labeled as "stray," and soon put up for adoption or given away by the finder.
Through our free pet ID efforts, we are working to get at a root cause of shelter overpopulation, so animal shelters can handle fewer lost pets and focus their resources on animals without a loving family, and pets can be returned quickly and safely to their family.
Pet food and supplies:
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 partners and directly to people experiencing housing or financial instability, and these efforts have grown each year, thanks to community support.

Keeping pets with their loved ones:
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.
