If you find an animal you wish to adopt, we’ll review the pet’s file to ensure that you and the pet you’ve selected are a good match. This will include medical and/or behavioral considerations as well.

The mission of Better Together Animal Alliance, formerly Panhandle Animal Shelter, is to create and support meaningful connections by enhancing the lives of dogs, cats, and the people in our community who love them.
Better Together Animal Alliance serves the Inland Northwest and its primary goal is to keep pets and families together. This is achieved by supporting pet owners using best practice programs and by supporting both sides of the human-animal bond in a friendly and non-judgmental way. Better Together Animal Alliance's owner support programs help pet owners take care of their pets, preventing the need to surrender them to the animal care facility. Programs include a pet food bank, a help line, Pets for Life, Home To Home, Temporary Loving Care, and Trap-Neuter-Return services for community cats. Of the animals served annually, only 1/3 ever enter the animal care facility and most are cared for in their homes or through community-based programs.
When an animal needs a safe place to stay until they find a new home, they are cared for at the animal care facility where cats live cage-free in a stimulating and spacious cat haven and dogs enjoy the benefits of being out of their kennels walking or playing several times a day.
Better Together Animal Alliance is the founder of Home To Home, an online pet rehoming tool for animal shelters. The program is used in by shelters and rescues across the United States and Canada and helps pets find new homes without ever entering an animal shelter.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
