Notes

Education:
Seattle Animal Shelter provides humane education and responsible pet ownership presentations to schools and other organizations.

Please call (206) 386-PETS (7387) to arrange for a presentation.
Nuisance Control:
The Washington State Department of Wildlife trains and licenses Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators (NWCO) to assist with nuisance wildlife problems. For more information, call the Washington State Department of Wildlife at (425) 775-1311.
Spaying/Neutering Program:
The Clinic was started by an initiative approved by the voters of the City of Seattle who wanted a low cost, high quality clinic to spay and neuter their animals and the animals adopted by the City’s shelter.
Dr. Mary Ellen Zoulas is our staff veterinarian. She is a graduate of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University. She has over 20 years of experience performing surgeries. She is licensed by the State of Washington and is a member of the Seattle-King County Veterinary Medical Association, the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Animal Hospital Association.
A portion of our costs is covered by license fees for unaltered dogs and cats. Another reason our costs are low is because we are not a full service clinic. Our focus is on spaying and neutering. We do not have, nor are we paying for, many of the diagnostic and treatment equipment and supplies found in a full service veterinary hospital. Therefore you do not have to pay for these items. If you are unable to afford even these reduced fees the Pet Population Control Fund is available to help cover your costs. Please let us know when you call for an appointment that you like such assistance.
Donations:
You can contribute to the Pet Population Control Fund. This fund was established at the Seattle Animal Shelter Spay and Neuter Clinic to receive gifts and donations for the purpose of promoting pet population control through the services of this clinic. Contributions are primarily used to provide spay/neuter services for low-income persons. These donations may be tax deductible (consult your tax advisor) and are always welcome!
Volunteers Needed:
The Seattle Animal Shelter offers a broad range of volunteer opportunities. Shelter volunteers help save the lives of thousands of animals every year. Volunteers assist in the direct care of animals, as well as assist in fundraising and public education.
