Hope for the Howlidays @ Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County
Dec 31 all-day

Every year, thousands of shelter pets spend the holidays alone, longing for a forever home. We know you can’t adopt all of them, but you can still make a profound difference for animals in need at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. While dogs, cats, and critters wait for their new families, you can let these fur babies know they haven’t been forgotten by sponsoring them during this festive time of year!

During this event, you can sponsor a shelter pet to bring comfort and joy to a homeless pet and also provide the food, safe housing, and medical care they need while they wait for their forever home.

Sponsor a shelter pet today!
