Priest River Animal Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to helping cats and dogs in need through compassionate sheltering, community outreach, and successful adoptions. We strive to create a better future for every animal that enters our care.
Since our inception in 2002, we have served as a vital resource for animal welfare across Bonner County, Idaho, and Pend Oreille County, Washington. As an independent entity, we rely on the support of our community, the Critters Thrift Store, and private philanthropy to sustain our mission without government funding.
We provide a comprehensive approach to animal wellness, offering everything from medical care and microchipping to enriching playgroups and social environments. By utilizing both our shelter facility and a dedicated network of foster homes, we ensure that every animal receives the intensive, nurturing support they need to thrive before finding their forever home.
Welcoming a new pet into your life is a lifelong commitment and a wonderful partnership built on trust and affection. We believe in thoughtful matching, ensuring that our animals are placed in homes where they will receive the appropriate medical care, exercise, and love they deserve for years to come.
Whether you are looking to bring a new friend home, provide a temporary space as a foster, or join our growing team as a volunteer, there are many ways to make a lasting impact. Please visit us at our facility on Highway 2, explore our current pets online, or call us to learn how you can become part of our positive community change today.
