We’re not sure what happened to our springtime sunshine today but we didn’t see much of it! We did see some great cats and dogs at WAIF’s Coupeville shelter though! We met two pairs of rather shy cats and also photographed a few of the other cats and dogs who are still there waiting for their new homes. We invite you to browse through our pictures to see if you might spot your new best friend among them. Please give us a call at (360) 678-8901 if you have questions about any of the animals in our care. Learn more on our website at waifanimals.org. ... See MoreSee Less

“Pawsitive” Alternatives for Shelter Surrenders
WAIF now offers two resources for pet owners who find themselves in need of rehoming their pets on their own, outside a shelter environment. In addition to our “Home to Home” platform we’ve had in place for almost two years, we now offer “Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet”. We recognize that it can be heartbreaking to relinquish a pet. WAIF may have resources that will keep you and your pet together. However, if that is not an option, these resources may be able to help.  Please visit our waifanimals.org/community-pets for more information.
