Dear friends of HSSV:

Based on Governor Enslee’s statement this evening, we would like to impress upon you all how important it is at this time for people to keep their animals indoors as much as possible and supervise well if outdoors. This is always important, but even more so now, due to the fact that HSSV will need to limit our services even further. We are responsible for the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and animals and we have an obligation to adhere to the Governor’s order. As of tomorrow, we will not be able to do any meet and greets and adoptions for the next two weeks. Intakes will be limited as well and we plead with the public to hold off bringing in any strays or surrenders during this time. If you do find a stray that needs to be brought in, or if you have lost a pet, please contact Animal Control Services at 360-428-3211. They will know how to proceed from there. If you have questions regarding this further reduction of services at HSSV, please contact us at info@skagithumane.org.

How you can help:

You can help us during this challenging time by visiting this link and signing the petition therein. Your signature will tell legislators that Congress must provide emergency aid to nonprofit organizations by expanding charitable giving and providing nonprofit organizations like HSSV with grants, loans, and tax credits.

Also, if you are able, you may donate here at our donation portal to help our shelter get through this difficult time and decreasing revenue stream. Every gift helps and we so appreciate your support.

Thanks so much and please, stay safe and healthy!
