Northwest Animal Companions

Northwest Animal Companions was founded in 2004 when a group of independent animal rescuers decided to pool their resources and talents for the benefit of all dogs and cats in their care. They opened their homes and hearts to create an organization where animals could have the best possible quality of life.

To this day, NWAC is completely volunteer-run, relying on loving foster homes for our animals in rescue and donations to cover the needs of those animals. With very minimal overhead costs, we channel donations toward veterinary care, spaying/neutering, grooming, nutrition, and enrichment for animals in foster, then find them permanent, loving homes.

Our mission: to ensure respectful and humane treatment of animals by providing assistance, rescuing and educational services; bringing people and animals together to enrich each other’s lives through adoption and companionship; and creating a society in which all animals’ inherent value is recognized.

NWAC is a nonprofit organization exempt from federal taxes under U.S. Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). Contributions are tax deductible. Our employer identification number (EIN) is 02-0714780.
