Our Partners & Collaborators

Better Together.

Rescue doesn’t happen alone. When an animal needs help, the right people and organizations coming together can change everything.

We work with veterinary teams, trainers, fellow rescues, community organizations, and public agencies to give animals the care and support they need.

A network that shows up

Different strengths. One shared commitment.

These are some of the relationships that help move difficult cases forward, from specialized care and training to field response and a safe place for animals to land.

Veterinary education & specialty care

Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine

WSU’s veterinary teams have helped IARN animals through spay care, specialty evaluations, complex medical cases, and equine health work. Students and clinicians bring expertise and compassion to animals whose needs often go far beyond routine care.

Training & behavior

PAWS Orofino

Training can help a dog build confidence, practice everyday skills, and become better prepared for life in a new home. Our work with PAWS Orofino gives participating dogs dedicated time and attention as they take those steps.

Collaboration in action

Many ways to make rescue possible.

Veterinary partners

Local clinics, including Southway Animal Clinic, help us respond when animals need exams, treatment, and ongoing medical care.

Fellow rescues

Organizations such as Helping Hands Rescue and Horse & Halo share knowledge, help with urgent cases, and expand the options available to animals in need.

Working alongside law enforcement

IARN assists law enforcement and government agencies across our service area with animal cruelty, neglect, seizure, and welfare cases. The agencies involved vary by case and community.

Our community

Fosters, volunteers, donors, adopters, and neighbors are essential partners too. Their time, homes, and support turn a rescue response into lasting care.

Be part of the network

There’s room for you to show up, too.

Whether you can foster, volunteer, or support an animal’s care, you can help us be ready when the next call comes.
