S.P.O.T. is a local, all-volunteer, rescue organization. Their mission is to provide the Skagit Valley and the surrounding areas an alternative method of caring for and adopting out companion animals. They provide a wonderful alternative adoption option to other local shelters, without the risk of euthanizing healthy and adoptable pets. They are always in search of good foster homes. Can you be a hero while a dog or cat patiently awaits their forever home? Donations are gratefully accepted.

PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap honors the bond between seniors and pets by providing a range of services. PAWS is looking for people over 65 who live independently and would like the companionship of a pet but whose finances won’t stretch to pet ownership.

A healthy, older dog or cat could join your home as a permanent foster. PAWS would retain ownership and pay for food, litter and vet visits.

This arrangement is a “win-win” for pets not likely to be adopted due to their age and for seniors who want to enjoy the companionship of a pet.
