6th Annual Statewide Shelter Open House

Calendar/Event Details

On Saturday, October 7th, Pawsitive Alliance is hosting the Shelter Open House taking place in animal shelters across Washington!

Join the party and take a trip to your community animal shelter during the Shelter Open House. Many fun activities are being planned at each shelter from adoption specials, to raffles, giveaways, and themed parties. Have some fun and see the great work your community's animal shelter is doing for pets in need.

And, of course, visit the cats and dogs, take some pictures, share with your friends, and help homeless pets get adopted. You just may find your new best friend.

The goal of the statewide Shelter Open House is to raise awareness of animal shelters across Washington and the homeless animals in their care, and to help those pets find forever homes. See below for a list the participating list of shelters and activities
