Our Objective..

Priest River Animal Rescue invites you to be a part of something remarkable. We are embarking on an incredible journey to build a new animal rescue facility that will redefine the way we care for animals in need.

By investing in our brand-new facility, you directly contribute to a multitude of benefits for animal welfare. Our expanded space allows us to accommodate a greater number of animals, ensuring no furry friend is left behind. We are committed to providing the highest standard of care for our beloved companions.

However, the impact of our new facility extends beyond the animals we rescue. It also serves as a place of education and inspiration, fostering a community that values responsible pet ownership, empathy, and compassion for all creatures. By creating an open and welcoming environment, we aim to provoke meaningful conversations and ignite positive change within our community.

Together, let’s build a haven where love, care, and second chances are abundant. Join our mission to redefine what it means to be an animal rescue sanctuary, and witness the transformative power of our new facility. With your support, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of animals and advocate for a more compassionate world.

Update on New Building Plans!

We are excited to provide you with an update on the new building project. While the project is still in progress, we faced a setback as the Bonner County rejected our initial plan for the Minor Land Division. However, we remain optimistic and determined to push forward. Our dedicated surveyor is diligently working on the project, architects are being actively sourced, and easements are being finalized. Rest assured, despite the obstacles, we are committed to achieving our goal and creating a beneficial space for all involved.

We are also thrilled to report that our fundraising efforts are well underway.

Your continued support is invaluable, and we kindly ask for donations toward the land acquisition to help make our dream a reality. Together, we are building a brighter future. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Please call the Rescue at 208-448-0699.

Why we need a new facility…

In light of the current circumstances, it is imperative that we address the pressing need for a new facility. The current state of our establishment is far from satisfactory:

The absence of heat and hot water in the puppy isolation building forces us to close it for the winter having to turn away puppies.
Critters Thrift Store would increase sales by 40% by broadening their inventory.

By investing in a new facility, we would not only alleviate these urgent concerns, but also enable us to expand our services. Our vision includes:
