FROM SHELTER TO FOREVER
Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation is now Seattle Animal Foundation
Beginning October 1, Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) officially transitioned to the Seattle Animal Foundation (SAF). This means that while we continue to support Seattle Animal Shelter (SAS), we can now also provide support to the greater Seattle animal welfare community. Thank you for your continued help and commitment as we move into this exciting new phase of our organization.

SAF isn’t just a fundraising organization; we’re a community of changemakers. We’re here to empower you—our donors, volunteers, and local businesses—to connect with the causes that need your support the most; bringing hope and joy to animals and the people who love them.
