Vashon Island Pet Protectors

CHEW Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer group committed to saving dogs who have been abandoned, are in danger of being put to sleep because there isn't enough room in the shelter, and other pets in need. In the ten years since CHEW was founded as a dog rescue group, we have saved and rescued 1,315 canines. To aid more dogs in need, we are constantly looking for more foster homes and money for other crucial aspects of dog rescue.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit emergency cat rescue that runs solely on contributions. We have developed into a network of foster homes committed to assisting the homeless cat population throughout the years.

We run a no-kill community animal shelter that homes and cares for stray animals, adopts out unclaimed animals to new loving families, and serve as the animal care and control authority for the Washington cities of Burien and Des Moines.

James Branson and Kelsy, a black Lab, have been working to find lost pets in the Puget Sound region since 2008. Four years of our volunteer time were spent working for Missing Pet Partnership before we started Three Retrievers Lost Pet Rescue in 2012.

A small group of concerned residents established The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County, which has now evolved to become one of the biggest animal protection organizations in the state. Every year, we provide care for almost 10,000 animals, help thousands of lost animals find their owners, treat sick and injured shelter animals, and administer extensive, affordable spay-neuter programs.
