Woodinville / Washington / United States
In 2002 Hooterville became Homeward Pet Adoption Center. We are one of the largest no-kill shelters in the state of Washington! Each year Homeward helps over 1, 300 cats and dogs find their forever home. Where do these animals come from? 40% are owner surrenders and the other 60% are animals we rescue from shelters who euthanize. We remain small with a staff of 15 ( half are part time ). And our 200+ volunteers are our backbone ( thank you volunteers and donors! ). Many of the rescued animals who come to Homeward get more love and attention in our shelter than they have ever known. With as many as 50 dogs and cats available at any given time and over 1, 300 animals adopted out annually, we seek to promote no-kill alternatives through our innovative programs. All of the animals receive full medical and behavioral evaluations, and our adoption staff is adept at working with people to ensure their new family members successful transition into a permanent, loving home. We take animals in from a number of places overcrowded area shelters, surrenders from local families that can no longer care for their dog/cat, and rescue groups throughout the state. We focus on giving homeless, abandoned, and sometimes abused animals a second chance at a healthy, happy life with a caring guardian.
