We get it — not everyone can adopt right now. Maybe you’re renting, traveling, or just not ready for a full-time commitment.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t make a difference. Here are five simple ways to help Seattle’s rescue dogs today:
1. Donate Supplies 🐕🦺
Old blankets, food bowls, toys, or leashes can make life more comfortable for shelter pups. Most rescues are happy to accept gently used items.
2. Volunteer Your Time ⏰
Walk a dog, help at an adoption event, or share your photography skills. Even a few hours a month can go a long way.
3. Spread the Word 📣
Follow local rescues on social media, share their posts, and encourage friends to adopt or donate. Awareness saves lives.
4. Become a Virtual Donor 💻
Can’t be there in person? A small monthly donation — even $10 — helps cover food and medical care for dogs waiting for homes.
5. Educate Others 🗣️
Talk about adoption. Explain the difference it makes. When people learn that rescues are full of loving, loyal dogs, hearts (and homes) start to open.
