Seattle Humane places a record-setting 359 pets during Adoption Blitz

A record-setting 359 pets were adopted into loving homes during Seattle Humane Society’s free pet Adoption Blitz. The buzz for the free adoption event brought crowds in the hundreds, helping to provide homes for dogs, cats and critters in a three-day period.

Adoption fees were waived on all pets on Seattle Humane’s adoption floor and website Oct. 4-6. On the first day of the event, 156 pets were adopted, setting an all-time high for the most pets adopted from the shelter in a single day

Adoption highlights included 149 kittens placed into homes of their own as well as 47 fabulous senior and long-timer cats and dogs. The oldest pets adopted during the three-day promotion were Princess and Pepper, two beautiful 14-year-old Lab sisters, and Rachel, an 11-year-old Pit Bull Terrier.
