Humane Society on Euthanasia Alert

Foster families and adopters urgently needed!

With spring upon us, hundreds of homeless kittens, cats and dogs are arriving daily at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. The shelter is nearing capacity and will have to start euthanizing pets soon if the community does not step forward.

We need the community’s help to end the heartache. Foster families and adopters are urgently needed. Together we can we stop the needless killing of thousands of pets. To help, make sure your pet is spayed or neutered, and become a temporary foster family for a litter of puppies or kittens, by calling (253) 284-5833. Fostering a pet involves caring for it temporarily until the kitten or puppy is old enough to be permanently adopted.
