At Idaho Animal Rescue Network, we don’t just fight for animals. We fight for change. Our dedication to rescuing animals from cruelty and neglect, partnering with law enforcement, and improving animal welfare in Idaho has earned recognition at the local and state level.
These awards reflect the hard work of our volunteers, fosters, veterinarians, partners, and supporters, people like you who believe in a better future for animals in Idaho.
Presented by U.S. Senator Mike Crapo
The Spirit of Idaho Award recognizes people and organizations making a positive impact in Idaho communities. We were deeply honored to receive it for our work rescuing animals from cruelty and neglect, our collaboration with law enforcement, and our commitment to improving animal welfare across Idaho.
We were honored to receive the Lewiston Police Department Merit Award in recognition of our collaboration with law enforcement to help animals in our community. It reflects the importance of strong partnerships in responding to cruelty and neglect cases and ensuring better outcomes for animals in the Lewis-Clark Valley.
The “Atta Boy” Award was presented by our friends at Helping Hands Rescue in recognition of our commitment to working alongside other rescues and assisting pet owners in need. It means a great deal to us because it represents the power of collaboration over competition when we work together for animals.
Some of the most important work happens outside the spotlight. Our “Paw”tner Awards are one way we thank the volunteers and partners who give their time, open their homes, share their expertise, and stand alongside us when animals need help. Each recognition is a celebration of the larger team that makes rescue possible.
Every recognition belongs to the volunteers, fosters, veterinarians, law enforcement partners, donors, adopters, and community members who make this work possible. These awards shine a light on the impact we can make together.
