River's Wish Animal Sanctuary is located on 65 acres in Spokane County and is dedicated to rescuing animals in need. Named for River, an inspiring dog whose love encouraged his owners to do more, River’s Wish offers sanctuary to rabbits, dogs, cats, goats, horses, sheep, pigs and more. River himself was rescued from an animal shelter, and it's the mission of River's Wish to do what they can to care for animals in need.

In 1995 we joined a local pet rescue group and our eyes were opened to the plight of animals in need.  We have since fostered and placed hundreds of dogs, cats and rabbits.  In 2004, we incorporated as a non-profit animal sanctuary. You can find our more about the many animals at the sanctuary throughout our site.

River's Wish is situated on 65 acres in Spokane county.  Caring for the animals at River's Wish requires immense amounts of time and money.  If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please click on the donations link.

The goal of the sanctuary is to provide the animals in their care with permanent and loving homes. We offer educational outreach and participate in adoption fairs. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible. We also accept donations through Spokane County United Way.

For just $9 a bale, you can help us feed our animals! We are always in need of "Hay Angels" to help us purchase all the hay we need. This year it was more than 90 tons and $16,000. Your generous support is more than appreciated. Simply click here and put in the amount you'd like to donate!
