Founded January 7, 2009, Prevent Homeless Pets (PHP) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) dog and cat spay/neuter clinic in south-eastern Washington state. We opened our own stand alone clinic September 6, 2013 in Benton City, WA.
Wags to Riches was established in 2008 and is an all-volunteer, 501(c) (3) no-kill organization. Animals are either placed into foster homes or at our animal rescue center (ARC). Our mission is to insure every dog and cat that pass through our doors will never again be subjected to the neglect, cruelty and/or abandonment that brought it to Wags in the first place. They will be made whole again or as close to whole as can possibly be achieved, then placed into carefully selected homes, where they will love and be loved until their time on earth is done. At the same time we will make sure that they no longer participate in the over-population problems of our area.
While a rescue’s most obvious cause is to save and re-home the unfortunate we must be and do more. We must strive to end the need for us to exist. To that endeavor, our four most successful programs do just that.
The Senior Pet Companion Program, keeps dogs in the homes of our valley’s senior citizens through the efforts of volunteers, by providing food, veterinary support and transportation to vet and grooming appointments.
Our Early Childhood Education Program goes into valley schools teaching not only the importance of dog safety but responsible ownership while our children are still impressionable and able to break the chain. It also teaches bite-proofing. Our newest component “Casey’s Kid’s Wall of Kindness” has kid’s promising to always be kind to pets and committing to that by signing a paw print and then placing it on the wall. We also talk about important issues such as stranger danger and anger and how to deal with it.
Our Spay it Forward program assists low-income people spay/neuter their pets. In just the past 2 years we have paid for the spay/neuter of 618 dogs and cats. This is a huge impact on the pet over-population in our area when you consider that, nationwide, 1,250 unwanted pets are euthanized every hour of every day.
Our Guardian Angel Emergency Medical fund assists with critical and urgent medical issues for pets that are homeless or whose owner cannot afford the life-saving surgery. In many cases those animals come to Wags and are placed with medical fosters and then new homes are found for them after they are healed.
Wags to Riches has proudly won three Real Heroes awards from the Yakima Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross and one Humanitarian Hero Award for the creation of the Senior pet Companion Program.
Our mission is to help end the euthanasia of dogs and cats in Washington by increasing adoptions, supporting spay and neuter programs, and improving pet retention.

History
The idea for a new independent animal shelter in Whitman County came about after an article was published in the Daily News detailing how impending budget cuts due to I-695 could severely impact the operations of the Pullman Animal Shelter.
A small group of concerned citizens from Pullman and surrounding areas formed a task force to discuss the plight of the former Pullman Animal Shelter, the tragic loss of life at the shelter, and the sad irony of having an inadequate and inhumane animal shelter in a town renowned for its veterinary teaching hospital. This group first met on February 16, 2000 around the kitchen table in Ray and Cathy Schulhauser’s home. They approached the City of Pullman to offer a solution to the animal care situation when budget cutbacks made it impossible for the city to adequately staff and maintain its animal shelter facility. The task force formally organized into the Whitman County Humane Society, Inc. and subsequently entered into negotiations to contract with the City of Pullman to provide management services for the existing pet shelter.
The Society has been operating the facility since July 1, 2000.
Under WCHS’ management, several policies were initiated that more closely supported the organization’s mission statement. Under city management, overcrowding was addressed with a high euthanasia rate with very short time limitations on the lives of the animals. Because the Society and the community at large did not feel that this was an acceptable or humane management of the pet overpopulation problem, the Board of Directors committed to run a no-kill organization. No adoptable animals have ever been euthanized because of lack of space. Service was improved by fully staffing the existing shelter with trained animal care professionals.
The founding board members included Ray and Cathy Schulhauser, Carmel Travis, Robin Germain, Steve Barr-Jorgensen, Lauri Sue Torkelson, former shelter manager Bill Clark, veterinarian of record Dr. Chris Stone, attorney Jean Campbell, and advisory board co-chairs Mike and Susie Hardy Gormsen. Thanks to the Gardner House and Lauren McCluskey Foundation, we have been able to expand our facility and we have several more kennels to take care of the hundreds of cats we care for annually.
Forgotten Dogs Rescue is a volunteer and foster home based rescue organization focused on saving Pit Bull type dogs. Located in Washington State, we are a 501c3 non-profit and have been saving animals since 2011. We are dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned dogs who are in Washington’s shelters, surrendered by their owners due to difficult circumstances or are in danger of abuse or neglect.

The Northeast Washington Spay Neuter Alliance is a regional mobile veterinary services project that was created by members of our community to fill a need.
