Welcome to Companions Animal Center!
Companions Animal Center, formerly Kootenai Humane Society, has been saving the lives of
unwanted, abused, and neglected animals since 1979.
Our No-Kill Philosophy means we never place a time limit on how long cats, dogs, and other pets stay at the Center.
Companions is not a government agency and is not affiliated with any other animal organization.
Companions is a privately funded, 501c3 nonprofit organization.
Companions Animal Center relies on donations to support our adoption, animal rescue, and support programs.
We are 100% funded by generous people like YOU! Thank you!
