NWSNC, nonprofit organization, that provides affordable, high-quality spay/neuter & wellness services Adoption alone is not the answer to pet overpopulation.
(222)
Northwest Spay & Neuter Center is a non-profit organization providing spay/neuter, vaccines and microchipping for cats and dogs. The center is open to anyone who wants to help decrease animal overpopulation in Washington State. The expert staff provides the highest level of personalized care for each animal, including feral/free roaming cats, and performs an average of 60 surgeries a day. Spay and
neuter of the pets of low income families and free-roaming/feral cats results in fewer animals being born and fewer animals entering local animal shelters. The end result is fewer animals losing their lives due to homelessness. From its founding in late 2001 through 2007, Peninsula Spay/Neuter Project facilitated over 10,000 spays and neuters of pet cats and dogs, as well as feral and free-roaming cats. This was done with a volunteer staff. PSNP was the first organization in the Puget Sound region to focus on pit bull overpopulation. Over 300 dogs were sterilized at no cost to their owners in 2006 and 2007. PSNP was the first organization in Pierce County to focus on the overpopulation of feral and free-roaming cats. Over 5,200 cats were sterilized via trap/neuter/return between 2001–2007. On March 3, 2008, PSNP opened the first low cost, high volume, high quality spay/neuter clinic in the Puget Sound region. PSNP officially changed its name to Coalition: HUMAnE to better support its goals, mission and vision. In 2013, Coalition: HUMAnE became Northwest Spay & Neuter Center and moved into a beautiful new clinic on Pacific Avenue, three times larger than the previous rented facility. In April of 2014, NWSNC launched its animal shuttle to make affordable spay and neuter services accessible to animal lovers across western Washington.

Thanks for looking out Tiny! We appreciate the tips. 😻
🐾 Hi there, hoomans! 🐾 My name is Tiny, and I’m one of the newest residents at Auburn Valley Humane Society. I might be small, but I’ve got a BIG request!
You see, me and my furry friends here at the shelter are looking for our fur-ever homes and even though the amazing people at the shelter take such good care of us, they need your help to keep doing what they do best.
Can you spare a little bit of your lunch money to help us out? Even just a few dollars can make a HUGE difference! 🐱💖
Your donations help provide:
🍼 Tasty food for our tummies
🏥 Medicine and vet care when we’re not feeling so good
🛏️ Cozy beds to keep us warm and snuggly
🧸 Fun toys to play with while we wait for our new families
I was just checking out the Amazon wishlist and I'm certain you can find a few things that will make our little motors go puuurrrrrr. Perhaps some Purina kitten chow - which is my personal fave - and since I like to wear it and make a bit of a mess... some paper towels would be much appreciated. My canine friends LOVE hot dogs and Pedigree canned dog food - and they can get a little messy too - so maybe more paper towels just in case! Every little bit helps, and if you can’t donate, sharing this post with your friends would mean the world to us. Items can be delivered to the shelter during regular business hours. 👉 https://amzn.to/3Nc15Sp
Thank you, from the bottom of our tiny paws 🐾

We are looking for people who are really dedicated and passionate about helping the animals in their community and securing positive outcomes. This is an on-call position at Auburn Valley Humane Society and varies on availability – usually one to two hours per month.
As we move towards Summer the need for TNR [Trap, Neuter (or spay), Return] volunteers increases. TNR volunteers transport feral or community cats back to the location they originally came from - once the cats have been neutered or spayed.
The positive welfare aspects of programs like this include cats having their natural needs met, reducing cat bites to people, maintaining a stable cat population and reducing kitten deaths and disease etc.
If you are an AVHS volunteer and would like to sign up to help TNR community cats, please email [email protected]. If you have questions about this opportunity or TNR in general, please contact [email protected].
Adoption fees at Auburn Valley Humane Society for large breed adult dogs and adult cats are waived through July 31 as part of the BISSELL Pet Foundation Empty the Shelter National Adoption Event. Puppies, kittens, and other animal types are not included in this promotion and will be available at their regular fee.
Visit adoptable pets 11am-5pm daily. AVHS is open 7 days a week 11am-6pm.

From our shelter: Meet Layla! This lady loves her toys and her walks equally. In fact, she likes to carry her toys on her walks. You'll rarely see Layla without a toy in her mouth. She loves to romp around the shelter play yard... with toys of course. Layla's foster says that she's very sweet and people-oriented. She does like to follow them around the house. Layla has had good bathroom habits in her foster home and appears potty trained and hasn't shown any destructive tendencies. She has also been good about going in a crate and responds to some commands such as "sit" and "stay". She's a very social dog. Layla is located in a foster home, so please email [email protected] to learn more about her and set up an adoption meet & greet!
