Cousin Vinnie doesn’t only practice feline law; he has also passed the bar in lap-sitting, bird-watching, and purring.

If you have a question or concern about your pet’s behavior, contact Jenny Black, Homeward Pet’s Behavior Manager, at  or by calling 425-488-4444, ext. 4017.

Jenny is a Certified Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA) with more than 300+ hours of consultations and experience using positive, force-free training methods to solve behavior issues in the home and in a shelter environment, including house-training, multi-pet management, new pet introductions, socialization, interactions with children or new people, fear-based aggression, prey drive, reactivity (to people, cars, bikes, other animals, etc.), basic manners, and more.

All consultations are free of charge and will be provided via email and/or phone. Major concerns that may require more intensive, in-home behavior modification may need to be referred to a private trainer, but recommendations will be provided after the initial consultation.

Please allow up to 72 hours after your initial contact for a response.

Homeward Pet Adoption Center (HPAC) does not guarantee any specific outcome as a result of your consultation. All recommendations given are provided by a certified behavior consultant employed by HPAC, but you may be referred to a private trainer outside of the organization for in-person consultations as needed. The recommendation of any service or product is not a guarantee of satisfaction with that service or product. We do not provide in-home training or in-person consultations for animals who were not adopted through HPAC.

By contacting HPAC, you certify that you understand the inherent risks in owning a dog or cat, including but not limited to the risk of dog or cat bites to you or others. You also certify that you are and will remain responsible for the actions of your dog or cat at all times and agree to indemnify and hold HPAC and its employees, volunteers, directors and agents harmless of any and all claims of injury, expense, losses, damages and judgment of every kind and description caused by the actions of your dog or cat as a result of your consultation.

The cat’s out of the bag: Pacific Bag’s design and packaging services are polished to meet your needs. It isn’t all business, though; the company also has a strong philanthropic spirit. We’re fortunate to have a number of local and longtime supporters like them. Just a few minutes down the road from Homeward Pet, Pacific Bag is our neighbor specializing in bulk and custom packaging.

Catch up with Pacific Bag’s very own Marketing Manager, Whitney Smyth, and see what she has to say about the busy industry.

“Located on the Woodinville-Redmond Road, Pacific Bag, Inc. got its start over 30 years ago selling stock packaging. It has remained the core of what we do, because the need for unprinted, unlabeled ‘stock’ bags, sold in small case quantities, is stronger than ever.

We service more than 4,500 customers in 50+ countries with a wide selection of stock products ranging from side gusset bags, stand-up pouches, paper tin-tie bags, flat pouches, bulk packaging, java boxes, rollstock, accessories, tins, bag sealers, weigh and fill machines, and more. We specialize in markets varying from coffee, specialty food and pet food, to agricultural products.

PBi takes pride in supporting our local community. Regardless of how you choose to define community, we believe that we have a shared responsibility for it. PBi, while proud of our commitment to all the communities we travel within, we continue to seek ways to help local causes, encourage employee involvement and join with our partners in giving back to this world we all call home. As part of who we are, we believe strongly in giving back into the industries we service and our local community. By helping Homeward Pet Adoption Center, we get to do both and see some wonderful animals find their forever homes. We thoroughly enjoy supporting Homeward Pet!”
