Meet Bunjovi

This bunny definitely doesn't give love a bad name! Once he warms up to you, Bunjovi has got a lot of love to give.

Holiday Drive to Save Lives

As the year draws to a close, we are so thankful for our incredible community, whose exceptional generosity enables us to give new beginnings to thousands of homeless pets every year.

Right now, you have the chance to make your impact go three times as far. Thanks to longtime supporters of our shelter, the Larson Automotive Group, your gift before December 31 will be tripled up to $50,000 – helping save three times as many vulnerable animals.

Please make your donation today to ensure healing and comfort while providing triple the resources needed to give homeless animals a fresh start.

Holiday Gift Guide for the Pets

The holiday season is right around the corner, and if you’re looking for a meaningful gift for a loved one, we’ve got you covered! Keep things simple, and choose one of our gifts that give back.

You Made it Possible

Meet a set of four siblings who were abandoned in a gravel pit, almost crushed by machinery, and were terribly sick with parvovirus. You’ll follow their journey from homeless, scared, and ill, to the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County where they received top-quality care from shelter staff, and finally to their happily ever after.

Tax Benefits of Giving in 2022

Need to make a required minimum distribution? We can help!

Typically, required IRA distributions are taxed. But if you’re 70 ½ or older, you can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a favorite charity or cause, such as the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County, without paying any income taxes on the money. And any amount, large or small, can be given under this provision at any time of the year before December 31.
