    Sweet momma and babies
    Jennifer M.

    Thought I would share my foster experience with NOAH as a testament to their focus on animal welfare. I have fostered three times with NOAH: A litter of three 6wk old terrier puppies, a 6wk old daschund singleton, and a young mom with 4 newborns (YIKES!). The first two were easy breezy. I was given good instructions and tons of supplies. The mom with 24-hour old puppies was a bit of a stretch, but they were super helpful again on supplies and support. Unfortunately, the mom became ill. The NOAH team was super quick to respond. They had me immediately bring them all back, took everyone to the vet, and found an experienced medical foster family. All are doing well!

    My new babies, perfect beans and they love to snuggle

    Crystal was super friendly and helped me through the process of playing with the kittens and making sure I had all the right stuff for them, the process was awesome and exactly what I came in for!

    I was fortunate to be a part of my employer's volunteer event at NOAH. NOAH is a non-profit organization focusing on saving dogs and cats. NOAH is a non-kill shelter. NOAH doesn't accept animals from the public or from pet stores. NOAH only accepts animals from partnering shelters throughout the United States (natural disasters and such). Once a NOAH animal, always a NOAH animal, meaning that if the owner can no longer care for the pet, the pet may return to NOAH. NOAH takes the adoption process seriously and has "match-makers" on site to go over the best fit for owner and animal. Keep in mind, the interest lies with the animal and not the person. Just because a person likes/wants the animal doesn't mean they will get the animal. Animals are only adopted out if the fit is right (temperament, home, family unit etc...) More places should operate within these guidelines in my opinion. NOAH offers discounted spay/neuter 7 days a week. The proceeds from these services unfortunately does not go back into NOAH. The majority of the tasks are completed by volunteers. During our event, we picked up dog poop, re-filled poop bags, laundry, cleaned and disassembled crates. In an attempt to keep costs down as well as raise money NOAH accepts donations. Donations can be placed in the drop box at the front of the building. Donations include but are not limited to: dog/cat food, plastic grocery bags, blankets, plastic gloves, bedding, etc...Donations that cannot be directly used at NOAH will be sold at their garage sale. Proceeds from the garage sale go back into NOAH. NOAH also has an onsite pet store in which the proceeds go back into NOAH. All animal bedding is washed every single day. The walking trails are clean and amply supplied with donated plastic grocery poop bags. The carrier crates are disinfected after each use. NOAH takes pride in their services and they love their animals. I personally am thankful to have been educated on all the work NOAH does. Now that I am aware, my future free time and donations will be given to NOAH.

    the kittens i adopted
    Penelope Z.

    got my two babies here. the two ladies working that evening were very informative and we could tell the cats were well taken care of. it was understaffed when we went but they still made time for us and communicated the whole time. they were also separating the sick cats from the healthy ones and i appreciated their efforts in letting us know and keeping them safe. i would definitely recommend coming here, whether to adopt or just to look at the kitties :) there was info and documentation on each kitten, and even a small shop for those who didn't come prepared. they made sure to tell us the pros and cons of owning kittens and made sure we were thoroughly prepared before bringing them home. overall a very positive experience.

    We had just lost one of our most beloved cats and decided to rescue a kitten (or two) to help us move past the grief. It's something we've always done, and in the process we've shared our lives with over a dozen rescued cats in the last 30 years. NOAH staff are extremely efficient at their jobs, and there are lots of wonderful, adoptable animals at their shelter. About the only negative we saw: don't look for a lot of warm and fuzzy (other than from the animals) We figured that anyone lucky enough to work with animals all day would be over the moon about it, but everyone is different, and these folks are mostly all business. That said, we did meet two beautiful kittens, a brother and sister, and it was love at first sight. They're two of the sweetest and most affectionate kittens we've ever adopted, but unbeknownst to us, they both had upper respiratory infections (URI) that became evident once we brought them home. It cost us over $1000, three visits to the vet, and three different antibiotics before the disease began to alleviate. They're still sneezing, but it looks like they're past the worst of the URI. Unfortunately, the infection was also passed to our two adult cats, even though we kept the kittens separate, and washed our hands and all the dishes constantly in antibacterial soap. The folks at NOAH had warned us the kittens may have been exposed to a URI at the shelter, and were treated once already, but apparently they picked up a second, different URI before we adopted them. I'm sure NOAH didn't know this because the kittens were not symptomatic when we left. I notified NOAH of the situation, and they immediately refunded our adoption fee to help us cover some of the extra expense we'd incurred for the kittens once we got them home (and for our two adults when they picked up the virus). They did this without being asked and it was much appreciated. They also promised they would look at their screening and quarantine procedures to be sure this didn't happen to anyone else. For stepping up and being totally professional in the face of this challenge, we give them highest marks.

I started coming to the Stanwood location about 6 years ago when my health was extremely bad. I was on a heavy dose of insulin daily and without medical. They provided me with medication and top of the line care. They got down to all of the issues I was going through and treated me so kind. Once my health was well and I was no longer in need of their care because I received medical, I then started volunteering at the Smokey Point location. Everyone that I interacted with as a volunteer and as a patient has been so kind and the most amazing people I've ever met. Now I find myself without medical again and was recently seen and again treated with the utmost care, and even provided with a goodie bag with all of these really helpful sweet goodies for my way home. The staff are amazing, the office is clean and organized, and these people donate not only their time but their skills and heart to everyone that walks through the door. I appreciate everyone at both locations for all of the hard work and care you put into everyone THANKYOU

Love the staff and volunteers! It was difficult to walk away from such a fine organization when I had to relocate. Kudos to the Thrift Store, too. Endless merchandise for all who are in need and probably the most organized of any I've been to. In some cities thrift stores gouge customers by misidentifying antiques that are simply regular items. No joke, there are a few down the street from me and it's pathetic. This one is reasonable and fair. I highly recommend volunteering for both the store and the food bank. If you do though, remember it's for the community not for you, and should not be looked at as a job but as an opportunity to serve.

This is the happiest day of my life . I cried so many tears of joy when I was able to adopt my new female dog. I named her Sasha. Previously known as Oldsmobile. Sasha is the absolute sweetest girl ever. Sasha is what my heart needed. As a puppy she is very smart. Introducing to crate has been fairly well. Eating wow this girl can eat, run, do sprints around the house, yard and is super excited. I am too lol. Potty training is going very well in the morning she wakes me up with kisses to say she has to go and stands by door we go out. We have a routine. Totally recommend Homeward Per adoption to everyone. You will never be disappointed. The accept donations from you if your pet has passed away, been surrendered or you just want to donate, food, toys, supplies for dogs and cats. Well, I could continue to give praises all day. Gotta go mommy duty is calling.
