About The NOAH Center

Founded in 1988, Northwest Organization for Animal Help (The NOAH Center) opened as an animal shelter on Camano Island and has since grown into a deeply impactful community resource. We partner with overcrowded shelters throughout Washington State and beyond to rescue at-risk pets from euthanasia and give them a second chance at life. Our on-site Spay & Neuter Clinic provides surgeries and other related services for our rescued pets and our local community.  Matchmakers in our Adoption Center assist adopters in choosing a new best friend, and our rescued pets find forever homes and loving arms.

Our Programs

Transfer & Partnership
Our Transfer Coordinator partners with over 65 shelters and organizations across Washington State and throughout the Nation. We work tirelessly to find pets with the biggest need, starting with animals in our own state of Washington and then reaching out to states with high euthanasia rates. We step up during natural disasters to help create space for displaced pets by moving shelter pets out.

Family-Friendly Pet Adoptions
Through our Adoption Center in Stanwood, WA, our Matchmakers greet adopters and guide them through the process of selecting a new best friend. Our team considers each family’s needs and the needs of each pet in our facility to find the best match possible. Adopters leave with a new furry family member, and homeless pets leave no longer homeless, ready to start their new life in their forever home.

Low-Cost Spay & Neuter
We are tackling pet overpopulation at the source through our high-volume, high-quality on-site Spay & Neuter Clinic. Our Clinic provides services for our incoming pets by preparing them for adoption, as well as offering affordable spay and neuter surgeries and related services for income-qualified individuals and other animal welfare organizations within our local community.

Neonatal Foster Care
Where other shelters may be without resources to provide the intensive care orphaned neonatal puppies and kittens need, The NOAH Center’s extensive Foster Care Network allows us to extend the walls of our facility, saving the lives of underage litters of puppies and kittens. 

Mom’s Last Litter
Accidents happen, but we’re here to help when our neighbors find themselves with a pregnant dog or cat. Our Mom’s Last Litter program provides free spay and neuter surgeries for mother and father pets as well as their whole litter. Parent pets return to the family, and the litter is matched with forever homes through our Adoption Center.
