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.
Join us Today and make a difference in the life of a pet!
Foster
Without fostering, there can be no rescue. Every year we save the lives of many pets.
Are you looking for a new companion?
Adopt a Rescue Pet!
π¨ Friendly reminderβ¦ it is illegal in Washington State for a retail pet store/feed store to sell cats or kittens unless they are being offered for adoption through a licensed shelter or rescue partnership.
Under Washington State HB 1424, retail pet stores are prohibited from selling cats and kittens. Stores may only host adoptable cats through a rescue or shelter partnership β they cannot sell them as store inventory.
The same law also restricts the sale of dogs and puppies in retail pet stores, unless the store was grandfathered in under the law. In Grant County, only Basin Feed Store was grandfathered in for dogs/puppies β not cats or kittens.
If you see a retail store selling cats or kittens, please report it to local law enforcement/dispatch or let us know. If you see a retail store selling puppies or dogs, and itβs not the store grandfathered in, please let us know. These laws exist to help protect animals and discourage irresponsible breeding and sales.
Please note: rescue/shelter adoption events or rescue cats being housed for adoption at a store are legal and encouraged. β€οΈ
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Washington Stateβs HB 1424 (the βHumane Pet Sales Billβ) generally prohibits retail pet stores from selling dogs or cats, which would include cats being sold in feed stores if the feed store qualifies as a retail pet store. A feed store that sells pet supplies and is open to the public would typically fall under that definition.
What the law does allow is this:
* Feed stores/pet supply stores can partner with rescues or shelters to showcase adoptable cats or dogs, but:
* the store cannot own the animals,
* cannot receive a fee for the space, and
* the animals must come from an animal rescue or animal control agency.
The rescue/shelter must also:
* identify the rescue/shelter source,
* provide veterinary care and vaccination records,
* use an adoption process/questionnaire,
* require an adoption contract,
* disclose known medical/behavior history, and
* ensure the cat or dog is spayed or neutered before adoption.
A key exception: someone selling animals they personally bred and raised directly to the public is not considered a βretail pet store.β But a feed store itself selling cats would generally not fall under that exemption.
So, if a Washington feed store is selling cats as inventory, that may be a problem under HB 1424. If they are hosting rescue cats for adoption, that is usually allowed if done within the lawβs requirements.

π¨π¨π¨ URGENT: Rescue, Shelter, or Adopter Needed for 3 Dogs at Risk
We are urgently assisting with seeking a rescue, shelter, foster-to-adopt, or adopter willing to help one, two, or all three of these dogs. Another rescue/spay-neuter clinic in Pasco is desperately reaching out for assistance, and time is running short.
From POPPS (Pet Over Population Prevention):
βWe need helpβ¦ we have 3 fixed, chipped, vaccinated small pit mixes that are fabulous, but are now at risk of euthanasia in about a week. They were living in a rental where dogs were not allowed, the owner was evicted, and unfortunately the dogs killed a couple of cats. We have no place left to move them.β π©
These dogs have already been:
βοΈ Fixed
βοΈ Chipped
βοΈ Vaccinated
They deserve a chance at a safe future.
If you are able to help in any way β whether by adopting, fostering through a rescue, networking, or pulling them into rescue β please reach out to POPPS immediately.
Saving dogsβ lives is what rescue is all about, but sometimes it truly takes a village. Their profiles are available on Petfinder. If you cannot help directly, please share this post β the right person or rescue may simply not have seen them yet. β€οΈ

What a beautiful sight this isβ¦ β€οΈ
Chloe patiently waiting for her blood draw at Morrison Mobile Veterinary Services. Theyβll be running a full blood panel, which will also include testing for Lyme disease.
She has been such a good girl through everything sheβs endured. If you would like to help with Chloeβs veterinary care, her bill is expected to be around $400+.

Update: We have several nursing momma cats which is wonderful. We have no idea what their plans are for the kittens their momma has, but we want to maintain control over our kittens. We are sincerely disturbed by the free kittens given away and there are no spay or neuter requirements and we canβt add to that! A foster form is required and urgency is at the helm. We found out that ACPR has a brand new momma cat and we will run the baby there and stay to make sure it will take the kitten.
π¨π¨ Do we have a momma cat out there with newborn kittens? π
This tiny baby was just turned into the Quincy shelter and desperately needs a nursing momma. Bottle babies this young have such a hard time without a momma cat, and time is critical.
If you currently have a nursing momma cat with young kittens and might be able to help surrogate this little one, please let us know ASAP. Please include the age of her kittens and your location.
As always, we can help with supplies if needed. It truly takes a village to save these fragile little lives. ππΎπ
