What We Do

WAIF manages animal shelters in Coupeville and Oak Harbor. Through donations of time and money, WAIF operates with a life-saving philosophy to provide care for healthy, adoptable pets until they are placed into permanent, suitable homes. No animals are euthanized because of space or time considerations. WAIF also operates three retail locations that helps us raise funds, but donations are vital to maintaining the current level of care. There are many ways to donate and your help is always appreciated.
