Mission Statement
Homeward Pet's mission is to transform the lives of cats and dogs in need through compassionate medical care, positive behavior training, and successful adoption while building a more humane community.
About This Cause
Located in Woodinville, Washington, Homeward Pet finds new homes for over 1800 cats and dogs, puppies and kittens every year. We are dedicated to providing excellent care to our animals, and great service to our two-legged visitors. As a privately funded 501(c)3 charity, we rely completely on donor support to help us provide food, shelter, vet care and more to each homeless cat or dog in our care. Adoption Our primary goal is to find new, permanent homes for every homeless dog and cat we take in. Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced at helping match adopters and pets based on lifestyle, experience, the needs of the animal, and other important factors, and providing our adopters the information they need to make each adoption a success. Through our ongoing Adopter Support program, we do our best to ensure that every adopted animal has a successful transition into a permanent, loving home. Rescue We partner with shelters and rescue groups throughout Washington state (and sometimes beyond) and families in the community that can no longer care for their dog or cat, to provide homeless, abandoned, unwanted and sometimes abused animals a second chance at a healthy, happy life with a caring family. For animals that may not be good candidates for adoption, we work to find alternatives including sanctuary and hospice care. Veterinary Care Upon arrival, every animal receives a full medical evaluation. Homeward Pet’s veterinary team provides appropriate treatments, vaccinations and surgeries for each adoptable animal to be as healthy as possible. We spay/neuter and microchip every animal prior to adoption, helping to prevent more animals from ending up in shelters. Training and Behavior Every dog we take in receives the SAFER behavior assessment before being available for adoption. While at Homeward Pet, dogs that have behavioral issues, or are in need of socialization, receive daily positive training with our Dog Behavior Team. We include free dog training classes from Doggy Haven Resort with every adoption. Our staff includes 3 recent graduates of the Humane Society of the United States/Pet Help Partners Cat Behavior Class, and our Cat Volunteers are trained to provide ongoing socialization. Volunteering and Foster Care Homeward Pet simply could not survive without the help of dedicated, caring animal lovers who generously volunteer at the shelter each week. Socializing kittens, walking dogs, answering phones, or opening their homes to provide foster care, our volunteers improve the quality of life for our dogs and cats while they await adoption. Learn more about volunteering at Homeward Pet. We support high school requirements for community service. Community Programs Homeward Pet is dedicated to helping our community by offering pet services to those in need. Our Low Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic provides affordable surgeries for pet owners, helping to reduce the number of unwanted pets in our community. The Homeward Pet Food Bank provides pet food and other pet supplies to needy families, lending a hand to help keep pets in their homes. Continued Care Homeward Pet can help pet owners plan for their pet’s welfare in the event of an owner’s illness or death. Through our Companion Legacy Program, a dog or cat will enter our adoption program, and we will ensure that they are well cared for while we find their new home.
