"Whoopi's Fund" is a new Homeward Pet program created to assist us in providing low cost spay & neuter services to our local communities. Your generous donations will help Whoopi's wish come true.

The program is named after long time Homeward Pet staff dog, Whoopi, whose guardian - Peggy - shares with us her story of rescue:

"Throughout my years here at Homeward Pet, I have helped with the rescue, fostering and care of many of our shelter animals. When I read the story about Whoopi, a Homeward Pet rescue, I could not resist taking her home. She had spent her life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on a chain behind a house with very little interaction. She was a 10 year old senior who deserved a better life."

For five short years as Whoopi's guardian, my life was enriched with many happy, playful and fun memories of us together. Being a true lab at heart, she loved her tennis balls and playing fetch. She enjoyed going to the off-leash parks as well as running and walking at Alki Beach. Whoopi loved coming to work with me at the shelter because it gave her a job. As potential adopters visited the shelter, she was there to eagerly greet them. To her, this was another chance for a homeless shelter cat or dog to find their forever home.

I know Whoopi had a great life in her final years. The kind of life we want all homeless cats and dogs to have when they leave the care of Homeward Pet. "

Whoopi's wish was to help with the over-population of the homeless cats and dogs in our surrounding communities and across the nation.
