## Caption

Today, our team spent the day at the Disaster Assistance Center, meeting people whose lives have been turned upside down by the Spokane fires.

We handed out pet food and supplies, provided free microchipping, shared information about our Veterinary Medical Assistance Program (VMAP), complimentary cremation services through our partnership with West Coast Pet Memorial for pets lost in the fires, and talked through the resources and support available to each family's unique situation. Sometimes that meant answering questions. Sometimes it simply meant listening.

Most of all, we hope our team can simply be there for you. If we can bring a little light to an incredibly difficult day, or even a smile, then we're grateful for the opportunity. We want to hear about your animals. Tell us their names. Show us their photos. Celebrate the happy memories, share the hard ones, or just take a moment to talk. We're here for all of it.

It was incredibly moving to see so many nonprofits, businesses, organizations, and volunteers all in one place, showing up for our community. In moments like these, that's what Spokane does.

To everyone who has donated pet food, supplies, or made a financial gift, thank you. What you've given isn't sitting on a shelf. It's getting into the hands of people who need it right now. While this has been an incredibly difficult week, it is, unfortunately, just the beginning of a long road to recovery for so many families. Your generosity will continue helping those affected by the fires while also ensuring Spokane Humane Society can remain here for the families and animals who rely on us every day. While this disaster has changed what many people need from us today, our commitment to this community doesn't end when the fires do.

We'll continue to be at the Disaster Assistance Center through the weekend, and we'll keep accepting donations to help families affected by the fires while ensuring we're able to continue providing the care, resources, and services our community depends on long after the immediate crisis has passed.

If you need us, please come see us. We'll do what we can to help. 🧡
