Northwest Animal Companions (NAC) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to build a no-kill companion animal sanctuary, Almost Home.
In 1998, inspired by a conference held at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, Jan Zimmerman joined Matt Howard and Lynn Fritchman to establish Northwest Animal Companions (NAC). Over a span of several years, NAC was given the deed to a large parcel of land just outside of the city. The final deeded portion was received in 2010. This land will be the site of the progressive no-kill companion animal sanctuary, Almost Home, which the founders of NAC envisioned. The organization is focused on raising the capital to make our dream a reality through donations and an aggressive capital campaign.
It is our vision that every companion animal will be treated with compassion and respect, and that society will no longer accept euthanasia as a form of population control. We hope to make this vision a reality by ultimately expanding NAC’s efforts in the Treasure Valley to all of Idaho and in to surrounding states. Through continued hard work and dedication, healthy companion animals will have a second chance at finding their forever homes, no matter how long it takes.
