Welcome!
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 2015 Homeward Pet Adoption Center’s
Fur Ball Auction & Dinner!
Thank you for joining us and celebrating our 25th Anniversary at our biggest
fundraiser of the year! It is because of generous supporters like you that we
are able to continue our mission of giving homeless animals a second chance
through our rescue, shelter, and adoption programs.
Because of YOU, Homeward Pet continues to give over 1600 homeless dogs
and cats the opportunity for a second chance at life and love. Last year 629
needed more than the typical medical exam, spay/neuter and vaccinations.
Your support allowed us to give them the extra attention required to make them
healthy and adoptable.
Our community outreach programs are expanding as we continue to do our part
with the Homeward Pet public low-cost spay and neuter services, reducing the
overpopulation of dogs and cats in the state. The Homeward Pet Food Bank is
supporting 19 area food banks and outreach programs with pet food and supplies­
- recently partnering with Hopelink to extend this support even further – all
focused on helping to keep pets in their homes.
This evening is not only a celebration of all you have helped us accomplish; but
also a testament to all the work that still needs to be done. For every animal
saved, there is another in desperate need of our help. For whatever reason and
by whatever means an animal finds his way to us, it is our responsibility to ensure
he receives the medical care, attention and love needed to prepare for a journey
homeward!
We are delighted that you are with us tonight and hope you will have a very
memorable evening. On behalf of the Homeward Pet Staff, Board of Directors­,
Volunteers and all for the animals you are helping, Thank You for your
generosity­and continued support!

Auction Rules
General Rules
All items must be paid for and removed at the end of the
evening. Payment may be made by cash, check, or credit
card. All items are sold “as is” and all sales are final. The
Homeward Pet Adoption Center Auction Committee has
attempted to describe all packages correctly, but neither
we nor the Auctioneer warrant nor represent and shall
in no event be held responsible for the correctness of
descriptions of warranties on the goods or services sold.
Buyer represents that he or she has inspected goods, and
accepts all responsibilities. No description or statements
made in the catalog or made orally at the auction shall be
deemed a warranty or assumption of liability. The Auction Committee reserves the right to
withdraw any item from the sale before final call for bids.
Silent Auction Rules
Your name badge contains your bidder number. All items have an adjacent bid sheet.
Enter your bid by legibly writing your bid number opposite the desired bid amount. If you
REALLY want an item, write your bid number in the box labeled, “Guaranteed Bid” and it
is yours! Once a guaranteed bid has been entered, bidding on that item is finished. The
silent auction will be closed in three separate sections. Each section’s closing time will be
announced. At that point, all bidding on that section ceases. The closing bid circled by an
auction official constitutes the winning bid.
Live Auction Rules
Your bid card will be on your dinner table. To bid on an item, raise your bid card so that the
Auctioneer can acknowledge it. You are the successful bidder when the Auctioneer says,
“SOLD” and acknowledges your bid number. If you are the highest bidder, an attendant
will give you a Live Auction form to sign. The signed acknowledgement constitutes a legal
contract to buy. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer shall have sole
discretion to determine the winning bid or to re-offer the item in dispute.

12. Paws-for-a-Cause: Lives Changed and Lives Saved
For 25 years, Homeward Pet Adoption Center has remained true to our mission “to give
homeless animals a second chance through rescue, shelter and adoption”. While we’ve
been through a lot of changes - from the one-room shelter known as Hooterville Pet
Safehaus­to our new facility in downtown Woodinville - our commitment to helping each and
every animal that we take in is still the driving force behind making our mission work.
Helping our adopters find the best cat or dog to join their family is a pleasure. Adopting an
animal to their new forever home, where they’ll experience love, comfort, safety and joy –
often for the first time in their life – is a feeling that the staff and volunteers at Homeward
Pet treasure. Like you, we understand the special bond that happens between people and
their pets, and we know that every adoption changes the lives of our adopters as well as
our animals.
But behind every successful adoption is the hardship and struggle of a homeless animal:
abandoned to wander the streets, surrendered by owners who could no longer care for
them, sick, neglected or abused. Some require medical attention, some need training, and
some just need time. Our mission is to do the best we can for them – to do everything we
can for them – until we can find their loving family.
Every cat and dog arriving at Homeward Pet receives a thorough exam, microchip,
vaccines­, and treatments, and is spayed or neutered before meeting potential adopters.
Some animals require more, and every day our staff veterinarians are helping Homeward
Pet dogs and cats overcome medical issues from infections to broken bones, prescribing
medications­, administering tests and performing surgeries.
Programs like our Dog Behavior Team, Kennel Enrichment Program, and advance
volunteer­training for cat and dog volunteers are not inexpensive to operate, but they are
just as necessary to the well-being of our animals as their medical care, and essential to
making our mission work.
Every week, over 350 big-hearted volunteers visit Homeward Pet to help our staff care for
the animals: dogs are fed, walked, provided socialization, playtime and training; cats are
fed, played with and pet. Kennels are cleaned and laundry goes ‘round-the-clock. Once an
animal is available for adoption, it is the job of our staff Adoption Counselors to meet with
every potential adopter, introduce them to our adoptable cats and dogs, and help them find
the right animal to join their family.
From onsite veterinary care to behavior training to personalized adoptions, we spare
no expense­to give each animal the best care possible. It’s how this organization was
founded, and it’s the credo we live by today. In tonight’s video you’ll see stories of happy
endings made possible by this hard work, and hear about animals who may have hard days
ahead of them as we work to help them heal, and find their forever homes. It’s been the
Homeward Pet story for 25 years, and we hope to help more animals, in more ways, in the
next 25 years.
Please open your heart, raise your bid card, and join in this life-saving effort. Your generous donation will ensure that we can continue this journey, and provide every dog and cat
in Homeward Pet’s care - from innocent kittens and playful puppies to sweet seniors and
special needs animals - the best we can give.
The auctioneer will take bids at the following levels: $5000, $2500, $1000, $500, $250,
$100. On behalf of Homeward Pet and all the animals your gift will help, thank you for your
compassion and generosity.
