Seattle was a very different place in 1897. The Klondike Gold Rush reached Seattle and the area was booming.

Believe it or not, that’s the same time Seattle Humane was founded. This week, the nonprofit is celebrating 125 years of saving lives and completing families.

“One hundred and twenty-five years is worthy of week long party!” exclaimed Brandon Macz with Seattle Humane.

Seattle Humane has grown like a litter of puppies and honors their humble beginnings. The organization started by advocating for animals in stockyards and slaughterhouses and was the sole animal control agency for King County until the 1970s.

A massive renovation project took nearly two years to complete and opened in 2017 with a state-of-the-art animal shelter and veterinary facility with support and resources for thousands of pet owners.

Seattle Humane officially turned 125 on September 15. The annual day of giving is scheduled for Sept. 16.
