An $83,000 Reason to Celebrate

And a reminder of what your vehicle can do.

Sometimes generosity arrives on four wheels.

We are overjoyed to share that our vehicle donation program recently received one of the most extraordinary gifts in our shelter’s history: a 2022 Forest River Coachmen RV that generated over $83,000 for the animals in our care.

Every dollar goes directly to supporting the 9,000+ pets each year at Washington’s largest non-profit shelter: the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County.

That means more kibble, more vet care, more enrichment, and more love for the cats, dogs, rabbits, and other critters waiting for their second chance at a safe and loving home.

Does your vehicle have a story left to tell?

Maybe it’s been sitting in the driveway a little too long. Maybe your lifestyle has changed. Maybe it just has more miles behind it than road ahead. Whatever the reason, we’d love for its next chapter to start with the animals at Tacoma Humane.

We accept nearly any type of vehicle, running or not: cars, trucks, trailers, boats, RVs, motorcycles, campers, off-road vehicles, planes, heavy equipment, and even farm machinery. (Non-running vehicles should be in one piece, towable, and have an engine.)

Here’s how simple it is:

    1. When a vehicle no longer fits your life, think of the thousands of pets waiting at Tacoma Humane.
    2. Call our partners at 855-500-RIDE or fill out a quick online form to get started.
    3. Free towing is arranged from wherever your vehicle is — home, shop, or tow yard.
    4. We handle the rest, and every dollar goes directly to animal care.

Do you work in the automotive industry or run a vehicle-related business?
We have business cards and 6″ × 9″ flyers we’d love to share with you. Reach out to us and let’s spread the word together.
