Seattle Animal Shelter Needs Your Help!

The Seattle Animal Shelter experienced a fire yesterday afternoon. The
fire began near the dryer in the laundry room and did not spread far
outside of the laundry room. All the animals and people at the
shelter are ok.

All critters have been relocated to ACCESS Emergency Vet Hospital for
oxygen and monitoring. All other animals are being monitored at the
shelter.

THE SHELTER WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AND VOLUNTEERS Monday,
5/4/09. The staff will focus on cleanup of the shelter. We should be
back to normal operations on Tuesday, 5/5/09.

Please help us by asking friends and family for donations of blankets
and towels. As you can imagine, most of our linens were damaged in
the fire. Also, we do not have a working washer or dryer, so we will
need help with laundry starting Tuesday morning.

Thank you all for your help and understanding.

The Seattle Animal Shelter is located in the Interbay neighborhood of
Seattle between Magnolia and Ballard on 15th West - one mile south of
the Ballard Bridge. 2061 15th Ave West, Seattle, WA 98119.
