My Nonprofit Reviews

I first learned about Pawsitive Alliance when looking for a 2nd dog to join our family. We discovered Boomer at Barktober Fest in 2008 and then Pickles at Lucky Dog in 2010. After attending these events, I realized how special Pawsitive Alliance's mission is. While there have been some impactful changes over the years, Pawsitive Alliance is still leading the way in Washington State with respect to animal welfare non-profits. I don't know of any other non-profit that focuses on dogs and cats in the way that Pawsitive Alliance does. From getting animals adopted to helping their families retain them, Pawsitive Alliance is there to support communities in Washington state and their shelter and rescues partners. Pawsitive Alliance is also focused on preventing pregnancies in both "owned" and stray cats and dogs by helping support low cost spay and neuter clinics.

Not only did I start supporting Pawsitive Alliance financially, I also began volunteering at adoption events which lead to helping out for the annual gala. Eventually I joined the board for a 3 year term and even spent 2 years as board president. I am very proud of what we accomplished especially as the last year was during the 1st year of covid. And I am very thankful that one of the founders, Yolanda Morris, is back at the helm and leading Pawsitive Alliance into the future by developing the relationship with the Seattle Mariners and expanding the pet supply donation program to assist more and more individuals and rescues in need.

I am including a photo of our Pickles who was adopted from Grant County Animal Outreach back in 2010. Pickles introduced our family to what I call the Chihuahua revolution. the photo is of Pickles at Ronald McDonald House where we visited as a therapy dog team. There was so much spirit and love in her tiny little 5 lb body. I am so thankful to Pawsitive Alliance for the opportunity to have Pickles and Boomer join our families.

If I could I would rate Pawsitive Alliance 100 stars. I am currently on the advisory council and am looking forward to my upcoming retirement when I can become more involved once again. Please make sure to check out this amazing organization at pawsitivealliance.org.

I have been involved with Pawsitive Alliance since 2009 when I adopted our pup Boomer at one of their large adoption events. I adopted a 2nd dog the following year at another event. I was really impressed with their mission and decided to start donating both time and money. When interviewing a potential candidate for the Executive Director position, I asked the candidate why he wanted to work for Pawsitive Alliance and he said because Pawsitive Alliance is unique and it is hard to find organizations that are doing what he called alternate animal welfare. This gentleman was so impressed he wanted to move from across the country for a pretty low paying but high level job. This reiterated what I already knew from my own experiences. I am super proud of have far the organization has come since 2009. Especially how its pet retention program has grown and is now helping les fortunate residents in our communities by providing free pet supplies to them at our partners free and low cost veterinary clinics. If you have not had a chance, please check out pawsitivealliance.org. Learn about the #WhyNotMePets program, how Pawsitive Alliance is helping communities by working with partners to provide low cost spay/neuter services. And lastly if you have new or gently used pet supplies, find a location near your home and please drop off at one of our donation bins.
