Fire At Seattle Animal Shelter

seattleanimalcontrol

First off, the good news is no animals or people were injured in the fire. However, the shelter did lose their commercial dryer and all the supplies in the laundry room.  They would really appreciate donations of:

  • blankets
  • towels
  • cat toys
  • dog toys

Take your donations to 15th West – one mile south of the Ballard Bridge at 2061 15th Ave West, Seattle, WA 98119.  You can also make a monetary donation.

We’re very fortunate here to have a pretty progressive animal shelter here in Seattle.  A new director, Don Jordan, came in 1996 with a plan to move beyond simple animal control & public safety.  The Seattle Animal Shelter began focusing on animal welfare too with extensive animal fostering, adoptions doubling, over 600 volunteers, low cost spay/neuter for everyone.  As I understand it, they’re are working to make Seattle a no-kill community.
