“We adopted Baker and Rainie (previously known as Kopa and Kiara) from Homeward Pet on August 30th, 2014.  We moved to Washington State that summer and we promised our little humans we would get two new kittens before school started that year. They have brought us so much joy and happiness. Rainie is a snuggle bug and loves to be near my daughters at all times. She is such a talker and we often call her R2D2 in the noises she makes. Baker is our little ‘dog’ who meets us at the door and meows to be picked up. He loves to be held and carried around the house. We are so lucky to have them.” – Jamie

Molly, from Homeward Pet’s Cat Behavior Team, sent these great pictures of two of our most energetic cats enjoying the heck out of getting some much-needed play therapy in the shelter.  Stella, a white ‘n’ black 2-year old Domestic Shorthair, and Julius, a 9-month old brown ‘n’ black, medium-haired tabby, are both available for adoption.

…and we have a year’s worth of “Thanks”!  Every day, we truly appreciate the enormous contribution that our volunteers make to caring for our cats and dogs, representing Homeward Pet in the community, and helping us fulfill our mission to help homeless animals.  Every one of our volunteers plays a significant part in the more than 28,000 cat and dog adoptions completed in our first 27 years.  Thank you for walking and feeding dogs, caring for cats, greeting visitors, helping with events, collecting donations, assisting in the clinic, photographing our available animals, providing foster care, and much, much more.  And for always being willing to do more.  THANK YOU to each and every one of our dedicated, caring, compassionate, hard-working, animal-loving volunteers.
