Meet Walter, a Narragansett turkey, who will live out his
natural life here and never worry about being consumed.
Long live Walter.

Meet Dusty. Dusty came to us from a couple who had
purchased him at a local pet store around Easter
time. Dusty is one of thousands of rabbits sold
annually as a commercial product at Easter. Sadly,
most of these bunnies are soon forgotten as the
novelty wears off and they are often neglected or
abandoned. Please encourage anyone you know, who is
even contemplating the notion of giving a rabbit as
an Easter gift, to choose chocolate instead. It's
the compassionate thing to do.
Dusty has been adopted into a wonderful home, to be
companion to two other lucky bunnies.
Read the 1998 article from
the Spokesman Review about Rabbit Realities and
why we don't support Easter and Bunnies.

Meet Ennis. Ennis was exhausted at the end of the
first day of a big transition for him. Ennis had
been a bottle baby whose family could no longer care
for him, due to the economy. Upon his arrival at
the sanctuary, Ennis was met by our bossy girl pig,
Delilah. Little did Ennis know that she was the
same species. We set up a bed for him in Pete's
shop so he can transition more easily without
Delilah telling him what to do.
Pigs are intelligent,
sensitive, clean and charming animals. See how you

ABOUT RIVER'S
WISH ANIMAL SANCTUARY
We are a 501c-3 nonprofit
organization dedicated to the rescuing of animals in need.
We provide shelter and care to rabbits primarily. We also
offer sanctuary to dogs, cats, goats, horses, sheep and pigs.
Our goal is to provide them with permanent and loving homes.
We offer educational outreach and participate in adoption fairs.
In 1995 we joined a local pet rescue group which opened
our eyes to the plight of animals in need. We have since fostered
and placed hundreds of dogs, cats and rabbits. We incorporated
in 2004 as a non-profit animal sanctuary. We operate a sanctuary
to several species and you will find information on them in various
places on our website.
River's
Wish is named after our beloved dog, River.
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.

Savannah & Scud came to us as elderly animals after their owner
passed away.
