VIDEO: Woodinville's Homeward Pet Adoption Center

Homeward Pet Adoption Center is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter that serves Woodinville and the greater Seattle area.

The mission of the center is to give homeless dogs and cats a second chance through its rescue, shelter, and adoption programs, according to homewardpet.org.

In 1990, Peggy Barnish founded Hooterville Pet Safehaus to help the community with stray and feral cat population, said Terri Inglis, Homeward Pet executive director. Eventually, it began accepting unwanted dogs as well. In 1995 it changed its name to Homeward Pet.

Only fifteen people make up the Homeward Pet staff but have help from more than 200 volunteers. Volunteers do everything from answering phones to doing laundry to spending one-on-one time with animals. Every year, Homeward Pet helps more 1,300 dogs and cats to find a good home, according to homewardpet.org.
