The Seattle Humane Society is in a desperate situation. Delays in receiving food orders make it difficult for them to meet the growing demand. The shelves are bare, and the need is urgent. Cans of wet cat and dog food and dry cat food are in short supply.
The nonprofit animal shelter is dedicated to saving lives, reuniting families, and ensuring pets stay with those who love them.
The Pet Food Bank & Supplies program at Seattle Humane collects and distributes donated pet food to families in need throughout the region. Volunteers deliver nearly 82,000 meals to pet owners who rely on this important service each month. Families and food banks alike rely on this lifeline to keep their beloved pets healthy.

Despite the challenges, Seattle Humane continues to serve more than 900 clients who rely on their help. Families facing financial hardship, seniors, and others rely on this program to make sure their pets don’t go hungry. The society is working hard to provide both dry and wet food, litter, and hygiene items while supplies last.
