Bonnie came when no one else would & helped with a bad situation. Thank you for easing my mind & taking control of the situation. I seriously was doubting anything would change.
Animal Rescue
Rehome
Lost & Found
Adoption
We provide Animal rescue for abandoned or lost pets. Rescued animals are provided with medical care, housing and love until they find a forever home. We offer assistance for found pets and pets that need a new forever home, and we provide pet adoption for pets in our care. We are always looking for volunteers and foster homes to help pets in Grant County.

Adopt a Rescue Pet!
We genuinely don’t understand how Nyx is still available!
She’s 4 months old, about 25 lbs, and one of the most easygoing puppies you’ll ever meet . She’s calm, observant, and the kind of dog who can play, explore, and then happily settle nearby and just be with you.
She’s been raised in a busy home with kids, dogs, and even cats (and kittens!), and she’s handled it all beautifully. She’s social, respectful, and has a really nice, thoughtful personality.
She’s still a puppy, so she’s not perfect—but she’s crate trained, doing great with potty training, and very eager to learn.
Based on her growth and DNA (Shepherd/Husky/Pit mix), we expect she’ll be a medium-sized adult (~45–55 lbs).
She would love a home where she can be part of everyday life—walks, time outside, and just being included.

If she’s not for you, we’d really appreciate a share to help her find her people

🚨💥🚨Times are incredibly difficult right now for animals in our communities.
We are seeing an overwhelming influx of pets due to irresponsible ownership, a lack of commitment to spaying and neutering, and little regard for proper containment. This is not an animal problem—it is a human one.
Cities and counties are now scrambling to figure out how to respond, but some of the approaches being considered—or already implemented—are deeply concerning.
Killing dogs after just 48 hours is unacceptable.
These animals have done nothing wrong. They are paying the price for the failures of the very systems meant to protect them—and the lack of accountability placed on their owners.
For far too long, enforcement has been lax. There have been minimal consequences for neglect, abandonment, and failure to spay or neuter. That lack of action has led us directly to this crisis.
And when we ask important questions—like how these animals are being euthanized—we are met with silence. That is not transparency. That is not acceptable.
There are better solutions.
Cities like Mattawa and others should be actively reaching out to reputable rescues and shelters to build partnerships, create contracts, and develop humane, sustainable programs. There are organizations willing to help—but collaboration has to be a priority.
We are speaking up because these animals cannot.
They did not choose this life. They did not create this crisis. We did.
It’s time for accountability.
It’s time for humane solutions.
It’s time to do better—for them.
🥺This should outrage everyone… you can send letters to the mayor or city council in Mattawa!

We took this little boy over to Critters Pet Rescue last Saturday so that he could have his new life there after his amputation. He was found next to to his sibling who was hit by a car and killed. He was hit as well but his life was spared, his leg not so much. We offered to pay half of his vet bill for whatever was left after the community so graciously donated. We are waiting to hear how much. Prayers for a quick healing for this sweet sweet little boy 🙏

A week ago, we were asked to help find placement for a momma dog (husky/shepherd mix) and her 7 newborn puppies. The request went out through the Grant County Emergency Rescue group—five rescues working together to tackle the growing animal crisis in our area.
Like everyone else, we were already stretched thin. Still, we started making calls, trying to find somewhere safe for them to land.
Then this morning, everything changed.
We got a call that momma had been missing for over 24 hours. Her puppies were crying nonstop. The family was afraid to post her as missing, worried about the backlash and harsh comments.
At that point, none of that mattered. This was an emergency.
We made the post—hoping the right person would see it.
There were a few negative comments, as expected… but then came the call we were praying for.
Someone had her.
They had seen our post and reached out. They were concerned about how thin she was and wanted to be sure she was safe and cared for. We explained the situation—the 7 puppies waiting for their mom.
And then something incredible happened.
They offered to foster her.
Not only that… they want to keep her.
Within hours, what started as a nightmare turned into the best possible outcome.
As soon as momma was reunited with her puppies, she knew. She could smell them through the box. The family took them home immediately, gave her a much-needed bath, and she is now safe, calm, and back where she belongs—with her babies.
Okandogs has stepped up to take responsibility for mom and puppies while they’re in foster, ensuring they’ll all get the care they need moving forward. We sent food, dog beds, playpen potty pads and a crate home with the fosters.
This is what it looks like when a community comes together—when compassion wins over criticism.
We’ll take this kind of ending every time.
