You can help fight acts of animal cruelty in your own community by sharing information that helps educate and encourages kindness.

Tethering Alternatives for Dogs

Tethering a dog is both a common way and a dangerous way to keep a dog. Even with proper shelter, tethering can lead to behavioral issues and leave the dog in danger of being attacked by other animals. This printable brochure will help educate yourself and your community to inspire people to reduce the number of tethered dogs.

Leaving Animals in Hot Cars

In warm weather a car's internal temperature can rise to lethal levels within minutes, leaving any animal left inside to die a horrific death. With education and awareness, you can help us reduce the number of animals left in hot cars. We recommend having a few extras in your glove compartment!

Animals Left Outside in the Cold

During cold weather you may see a pet outside and wonder if you should report it. If you see an animal in distress, please call your local animal control or local police immediately. Learn more about what the law is and what you can do to help.

Donkey Basketball

Donkey basketball is a cruel sport that forces donkeys to be unwilling “teammates” as they are yanked, chased, whipped and dragged across a basketball court - in the name of “fun” and fundraising. Learn how you can help shut down these events if you see them in your community.

Information is power. You can read all of the current Animal Protection Laws of Washington State here.
