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.
Join us Today and make a difference in the life of a pet!

Adopt a Rescue Pet!
Help us STOP the “Free Kitten” epidemic within Grant County and surrounding counties.
🐱 “Nobody values a free kitten more than a rescue that just spent $300 getting one ready for adoption.”
“Free isn’t always free.”
Free kittens become pregnant kittens.
Free puppies become unwanted dogs.
Free pets often end up abandoned, surrendered, neglected, or producing more litters.
Adoption fees aren’t about making money—they help ensure pets receive vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, medical care, and are placed in committed homes.
Every ‘free kitten’ today can become dozens more homeless cats tomorrow. Please spay and neuter your pets.
There are surprisingly few studies that specifically track “free kittens” or “free puppies” from birth through adulthood, but there is a lot of evidence showing that animals obtained with little or no screening are at higher risk for poor outcomes.
🐾 “The most expensive pet is often the one that was free.”
Many rescues report seeing the same cycle repeatedly: free animal → no spay/neuter → accidental litter → surrender, abandonment, or rehoming.
We need more community members to step up and foster for the shelters and the rescues. Please consider doing that today.

We are still looking for a foster home for these three adorable little Chihuahuas! They are approximately 7 weeks old, around 3 pounds each, and cute as can be.
We are hoping to find a foster in Grant, Chelan, or Douglas County, or in the Ellensburg area since we travel through there weekly.
As always, we provide support, guidance, and supplies as needed. These little ones just need a safe place to grow until they are ready for the next step in their journey.
If you’re interested in fostering and already have a foster application on file with us, please let us know. If you’ve been thinking about fostering, now is a great time to help these tiny pups!
Please share to help us find them a foster home. ❤️🐾

Another update on little Peanut, the sick little pup who would have surely died if not for the compassionate heart of a woman who refused to do what staff at the Quincy Shelter were reportedly instructed to tell people—take the puppies back to where they were found.
We continue to struggle to understand how anyone connected to a shelter could direct someone to leave vulnerable animals behind. It’s disturbing, frustrating, heartbreaking, and simply wrong. We often wonder how many animals may have been lost because of instructions like that.
Thankfully, Peanut’s story turned out differently.
The kind woman who found these puppies chose compassion instead. She saved them and reached out for help. Because of that decision, Peanut got a chance to fight.
This little guy has gone from just 1.4 pounds at his lowest to over 3 pounds today! Even better, his sweet personality has completely stolen the hearts of his foster family.
We can’t thank Sue Forbes enough for stepping up as Peanut’s medical foster, and a huge thank you to Critters Pet Rescue and Deb, who reassured us time and time again that they would see him through whatever illness he was battling. Their dedication gave Peanut the opportunity he deserved.
We love following Peanut’s journey and watching him grow stronger every day. ❤️
And there’s more good news! His two siblings are thriving in foster care in Kirkland and already have families eagerly waiting for them to be released and join their forever homes.
Sometimes all it takes is one compassionate person willing to do the right thing to completely change an animal’s future. Peanut is living proof of that.

More puppies dumped. 💔
These three little pups were found huddled together in a pile in front of the clinic in Mattawa. They are approximately 6 weeks old and as sweet as can be.
The good news is that they tested negative for parvo. 🙏 As a precaution, they will still be quarantined for 10–14 days to ensure they stay healthy.
We are currently looking for a foster home that can take all three puppies together. If you can help, please reach out.
Situations like this continue to happen far too often. This community desperately needs more education about the importance of spaying and neutering pets, as well as responsible pet ownership. These puppies didn’t ask to be abandoned, and they deserve a safe start in life.
Thank you to everyone who helps us be their voice. ❤️
