Seattle Animal Shelter Seattle, Washington

I have been satisfied with all of my experiences concerning medical pet care in Seattle, however, SAS has won my heart and complete admiration over all. The lovely people who work/voulenteer at SAS are the most compassionate professionals, and I could not have been more comfortable leaving my beloved Loki in the care of this outstanding facility. Smiles on everybody's faces, soothing/relaxing spaces for hold until pickup, and their 100% financial assistance program has been the biggest blessing of my entire year! ????????

I've read through multiple recent reviews and was skeptical when seeing many comments about rude employees. But I'll say right off the bat that every single person I interacted with (employees & volunteers) while at the SAS was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful through the adoption process. With COVID, it was new to me to have to set up an appointment opposed to being able to walk around and see the animals, but the whole process was stress free and simple. They provided background on the animal and answered any other questions I had. It was really clean throughout the shelter and the "stalls" where the animals are kept. Free parking was a plus (especially in Seattle)! It was nice to see the SAS represented on Amazon Smile as well for anyone who would be interested in donating. When adopting, the pet I was interested in was NOT in foster care, so I understand that process may be a lot different. But from what I experienced in the shelter, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a furry friend!

They took real good care of my kitty

The photograph on your website of the very unhappy dog is a terrible advertisement for your shelter.

A little disorganized, as when we adopted we sometimes got conflicting info on what to do or about the animal. But overall they care for the animals and we were able to get a loving dog. He is the best boy. We adopted last summer.

I have donated to All Aninals Pet Shelters. I feed Cats that been Abandoned, Abused by the corrupt animal pathetic haters. These pet haters Souls are all going strait to the demons hole. It's so sad how people can be so cruel to our most Loving Wonderful Souls of our God Creations. Lord have mercy to our many neglected abused Living Animals. I wish I could take every pet to my home & just Live them & take care of them 100%.

We didn't know you had to make an appt. before you could see a dog.

So this was a few years ago, but I wanted to share my experience with this shelter. I saw on their website they had a bearded dragon up for adoption. I went over there to inquire about it. I filled out all the paperwork, got a chance to see the bearded dragon and talk with a worker about her overall care. I was very excited and made the decision to adopt her. The lady I spoke with was very rude throughout the process. I was unable to pick her up the same day, so we arranged for me to come back the next day. I returned with a cage and everything to prepare for a smooth ride home, but they told me that the bearded dragon was fostered elsewhere and they decided to adopt it. I was shocked and confused on why the woman I spoke with would tell me to come back if they're just gonna give her to someone else. What's worse is i'm pretty sure that same lady was there, but she acted confused and like she didn't know what was going on. So unprofessional, unorganized, and overall disappointing.

We had an emergency involving a stray and they were very fast. Super helpful.

I fill out paperwork to adopt a pet we looked at and the shelter called me and said the dog a has been adopted so I got upset because I'm trying so hard to get a dog ???? I can't even get that I'm trying to get a dog for my daughter and son so I wasn't sasfied at all

Super friendly staff and great facility. They were super patient with us as we met and adopted our new pet. I highly recommend this location and the staff.

They were very helpful as we met with a potential dog. They allowed us to take our time and didn't feel pressured. We did adopt her. The process was smooth.

I just adopted my kitten here. The staff and foster parents are super nice and helpful. They gave the most objective opinion on each pet you are interested in. They won't let their feeling about the pet to influence their judgement and you can see they want to match the best pet with you! But I do know they are understaffed so I hope more people could help by donating or become a foster parent. Avoid breeders and start adopting!

I found an injured bird and took it in to them. They will hold him til a volunteer can drive him to Lynnwood to a rescue site. Thank you for your kindness.

It is a beautiful well managed place. Only 2 dogs were available though and one of them was on more anxiety meds than me.

I call to report a dead raccoon in the road so the could come pick it up the automated system addressed the different types of service they offered like spay/neuter clinic adoptions licenses etc in person call was answered in a timely manner person talked was courteous

Hoping to adopt a dog ASAP

I had to surrender my cat at the vet because I couldn't afford the operation. The vet gave him to the Seattle animal shelter. I'm not exactly sure who did the operation, but the Seattle animal shelter called me up and asked if I wanted Oliver back. He was really glad to see me when I picked him up and now he's happy to be home and hopping around making the best of his new norm.

It is a great site, HOWEVER, why do all the adoption sites charge such high prices? Alot of people can't afford $100+ for an animal. That's just signing a death warrant for the animal!

I had to give my dogs over to their care while I was in the hospital. The staff went above and beyond for my fur babies. Not only did they board them, they updated their shots, microchipped them and offered to neuter my boy!

I went there to just see the cats we saw online. They were so adorable that I ended up adopting on the spot 2 cats. The place is clean and very friendly / helpful staff.

The Seattle Animal Control Sevices are an AMAZING group of people. They went above and beyond for me and my two doggies.

I love that place. I have gotten two dogs from them.

I havent made it there recently

Staff was super helpful and I was able to spend plenty of bonding time with my new feline companion before taking her home.

To many games being played about getting pet no way will anyone come to my home no strangers allowed.i hate my pup was stolen.

Got our good boi here. Attendants fed him a lot of cheese while we were there, he was so gassy on the way home XD Around 1yr update: Raffa has been the best of all the good boys! I can't imagine our family without him and feel like the luckiest owners.

I'm looking forward to seeing the dogs that are up for adoption. I'm ready to own a dog and this is so exciting!

Thank you guys for all your effort and help, they're amazing ????

Great place for people looking to adopt a dog or cat. The animals are well kept and make wonderful pets.
