Welcome to Idaho Animal Rescue Network
At the Idaho Animal Rescue Network (IARN), our mission is simple: to rescue animals from cruelty and neglect while advocating for better animal welfare across Idaho. Founded in 2019, IARN was created to address a critical gap in animal rescue services.
Understanding that very few rescues in Idaho collaborated directly with law enforcement on cruelty investigations, IARN formed a proactive team focused on tackling animal cruelty cases and major medical cases. Today, IARN operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, offering foster-based care, veterinary support, and outreach services to help animals and communities across the state. Together, we’re creating a safer, more compassionate Idaho for animals.
