Vision

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.

Goals

1. 1.TOAR’s Big Fix Clinics provide free spay/neuter, vaccine, and microchip services. These four-day events help over 1,000 pets per clinic, preventing unplanned litters and reducing pet overpopulation. Our vaccine clinics also limit the spread of preventable diseases, ensuring animals stay healthier and safer. In 2025, TOAR served over 2,300 animals through these vital clinics.
2. 2.We provide pet food and essential supplies to families and rescues in need. This program helps pets remain with their families and supports rescues in providing care for animals awaiting adoption. In 2025, we distributed over 180,000 pounds of food and supplies.
3. 3.TOAR offers financial assistance for urgent veterinary care to pet owners facing financial hardship, as well as grants to support local rescues in their mission to care for and rehome animals. In 2024, we provided $43K in funding to support these efforts.
