Last year five million unwanted pets were put to death in U.S. shelters.
That’s 13,000 every day, 575 dogs and cats killed every hour.
Spay, Neuter, Adopt .... Be part of the solution.

Our newest program: SPAY WASHINGTON
Spay Washington is a statewide referral network for low cost spay/neuter services. Participating veterinarians or clinics lower their prices an average of 15-50% for our clients. Many people in Washington are unable to afford to spay or neuter their pets, even though they want to do the right thing for their pets and their communities. Please, help us reduce the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals by assisting pet owners throughout the state by donating to Spay Washington today. Angela Scheres, Program Director.

GO ORANGE FOR THE ANIMALS!

SPOKANIMAL, SCRAPS, AND THE SPOKANE HUMANE SOCIETY
JOIN THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS:

What is ASPCA® Mission: OrangeTM?
It’s official! We’re so pleased to announce the start of ASPCA® Mission: OrangeTM,
a focused effort to create a country of humane communities, one community at a time,
where animals receive the compassion and respect they deserve—a nation where there is no more
unnecessary euthanasia of adoptable animals simply because of a lack of resources and awareness.

Learn more about ASPCA Mission: Orange.

Adoptable animals at SpokAnimal are evaluated by trained staff using the
ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™” (MYM)—a unique program that seeks to
increase adoption rates and decrease return rates in shelters across the country,
by assessing the “Canine-ality™” and “Puppy-ality™” of
adoptable dogs and puppies, as well as the “Feline-ality™” of adoptable cats,
and matching them with their perfect pet parents. Created by Dr. Emily Weiss,
the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™ is sponsored by Iams®.
