Microchipping Your Pet
Eena called the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum home until one day she went missing. After being lost for 10 long months, Eena's microchip helped get her back home.
Host a Donation Box
A dime here. A quarter there. It might not seem like much, but when hundreds give, the spare change adds up to help animals at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County.
 
Hosting a donation box at your business is an easy way to help the pets! Coffee shops, gas stations, delis, pet supply stores, and businesses with high check-out traffic are great spots for a donation box. Best of all, it’s easy to participate! A shelter volunteer will work with you to monitor the box and collect donations. All you have to do is encourage people to drop their spare change inside!
 
Do you have a little extra counter space to provide food, shelter, and veterinary care for thousands of animals in need?
Get Limited Edition Merch
Four pets went from being in the spotlight in our Star Search Photo Contest to being on merch! Our four stunning winners have been illustrated and are now available on t-shirts, hoodies, long sleeve shirts, and crewneck sweatshirts. Get yours before it's gone!
Take Action for Pets in the Community
Thank you to those who wrote to the Pierce County Council in support of Ordinance 2022-10s!
 
The humane pet store ordinance would prohibit pet stores in Pierce County from selling dogs and cats sourced from commercial breeding mills. This ordinance is necessary to cut off the cruel puppy mill pipeline to our county. Discussions on the ordinance were postponed at last week’s Pierce County Council meeting and were scheduled to resume at the council meeting on May 31st.
 
What to do now?

The continuation of the ordinance means you have more time to voice your support of this ordinance to the council. Please email the entire council at pccouncil@piercecountywa.gov to express your support for this ordinance today.
