Finding furever homes: The NOAH Center’s year-end fundraiser inspires community support

Lynnwood, WA** Local News

The NOAH Center, located in Stanwood, is committed to finding loving homes for pets, having helped over 56,000 animals since its inception in 2003. This December, the center is launching a fundraising campaign aimed at sustaining its life-saving operations and innovative programs. Jennifer Holocker, the marketing and development director, emphasizes the fulfilling nature of witnessing pets receive second chances. The organization’s unique approach includes transferring animals from overcrowded shelters across the United States and maintaining a stress-free adoption process. Additionally, the NOAH Center’s low-cost spay/neuter clinic has performed over 155,000 surgeries, significantly contributing to reducing pet overpopulation.

Programs like 'Mom’s Last Litter' further engage the community by allowing pet owners to foster young animals while receiving necessary surgeries for their parent pets. The funds raised from the year-end campaign will support everyday operations and the construction of a new spay/neuter clinic to meet the increasing demand for services. The NOAH Center invites community members to contribute, emphasizing that every donation can make a difference in the lives of pets in need.
