Why Our Work Matters
Okanogan County lacks both a county animal shelter and an animal control officer, yet nearly 2,700 animals require services each year. With many facing barriers to care, TOAR is a critical resource, offering support to address pet overpopulation, improve animal health, assist families in need, and aid local rescues. Our work ensures that every animal, regardless of circumstances, has the chance to live a healthier, happier life.

ABOUT US
Team Okanogan Animal Rescue (TOAR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the humane treatment of companion animals in Okanogan County, Washington. Founded in 2022, we work to fill critical gaps in animal welfare across this rural region, where animals and citizens rely on private rescues in the absence of publicly funded shelters.
In a short time, TOAR has become a vital safety net for pets and people in a county where 17% of the population live in poverty. We’ve partnered with Greater Good Charities’ Good Fix team to host Washington’s largest free spay/neuter, vaccine, and microchip clinics, serving over 2,000 animals in 2024. TOAR has also distributed more than 200,000 pounds of pet food and supplies to families, rescues, and food banks.
