We won’t give up. We’ll try again in 2027!Thank you to all of you who took action this year to try to help pass a bill to ban declawing in Washington state. Sadly, Washington’s HB 1904 was beaten by the calendar. We always knew this was a possibility in such a short session, with so many bills competing for limited time.

We’re disappointed that declawing won’t be banned statewide this year. But we’ll keep working with legislators in the hope of seeing a new bill introduced in 2027.

In the meantime, we encourage you to keep educating your communities about declawing — and consider whether your city council might be open to following Tacoma’s lead with a local ban. If your council is receptive, we’re here to help. Just let us know.

“Pawsitive” Alternatives for Shelter Surrenders
WAIF now offers two resources for pet owners who find themselves in need of rehoming their pets on their own, outside a shelter environment. In addition to our “Home to Home” platform we’ve had in place for almost two years, we now offer “Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet”. We recognize that it can be heartbreaking to relinquish a pet. WAIF may have resources that will keep you and your pet together. However, if that is not an option, these resources may be able to help.  Please visit our waifanimals.org/community-pets for more information.
