Woodinville's Homeward Pet Celebrates 20,000 Adoption
Saturday the no-kill animal shelter found a home for Ava, a kitten that was the 20,000 animal Homeward Pet has helped in 22 years of operation.
After celebrating their 22nd Anniversary of helping homeless cats and dogs last month, in Woodinville completed its 20,000th adoption on Sunday, March 18.
The special pet is Ava, a 4-month-old Torti kitten. Adopted by Peggy LaReaux, who was accompanied to Homeward Pet to find a playmate for her 12-year-old cat.
In honor of this milestone, Peggy was surprised with no fee for the adoption and a gift basket full of fun toys, treats, and a comfy blanket to help Ava settle into her new home.
