A True Thanksgiving Tale
As transformations go, this one was significant. I had first seen her in August. At that time she was a 17-pound, emaciated pup that was succumbing to lung parasite-induced pneumonia. Now, just 13 weeks later, there was fifty more pounds of Harbor Seal looking out at me from the transport carri...
Thank you for the comment, Bob! Your photos are beautiful.
Things That Go Bump in the Night... or Day
Owls are known for their ability to fly without making a sound. They possess soft body feathers and flight feathers with fringed edges that reduce sound by dampening turbulence as air moves over them. Staying silent while aloft allows the owls to hear their prey and at the same time prevents t...
Thank you for the comments, Daisy84 and Kitty!

Kids Helping Animals: A Birthday Tradition
Meet Kamila. After a visit to PAWS five years ago, Kamila was inspired to help the adoptable animals in the shelter. She was moved to tears when she thought of the many pets waiting for forever homes, and decided that instead of receiving birthday gifts for herself, she would collect supplies ...
Thanks Susan, we are so happy she found a good home!
Frenchy Finally Finds a Home
Members of the unofficial "Frenchy Fan Club" were grinning ear-to-ear as the 10-year-old tabby, who had been waiting more than a year for a forever home of her own, nuzzled the hand of her adopter and proud new papa, Walt. Frenchy came to PAWS as a stray on August 19, 2011. She was one of t...
Thank you for the comment, Kalice!
National Pet Obesity Awareness Day
Waistlines are getting bigger in the United States, but it's not just humans who are packing on the pounds. Our pets are getting bigger too. According to a 2011 survey conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, a staggering 55% of cats in our country are overweight. A roly po...
Thanks for your comment Ariel! We're pleased to hear that you've done your best to help injured and orphaned wildlife too. Thank you!
Three in the Tree
As I reported in the September 14 installment of the PAWS Blog, the Raccoons that grew up here at PAWS over the summer are now returning to their wild homes. I released another group on September 26 at a King County Natural Area along the Green River. Three of the Raccoons were especially adve...

PAWS Saving Lives, One Vaccine at a Time
Since the advent of the modern day vaccine, no drug has been so beneficial to both human and animal welfare as the vaccine for rabies. Rabies is a virus that circulates in animals, and humans can catch the disease if they are bitten or scratched by an infected animal. But with increased aware...
Thanks Stenton! We think so too :)
