Better Together Animal Alliance (formerly Panhandle Animal Shelter) is dedicated to serving the animals of North Idaho. Our programs are focused on keeping families together and though sheltering is still part of our services we want sheltering to be a small part of what we do because our work keeps families together.

Who else feels they need a massive cuddle after the storms last night? 🙋‍♀️

Sweet Prince, our 14-year old wise old soul would love the opportunity to become your snuggle buddy on nights like those! He’s easygoing and independent - just looking for a calm quiet life - except when he’s needed for cuddle duty!

Think Prince would enjoy living with you? Come meet this endearing senior in person today. We’re open until 6pm!

Finn was extremely interested in the flora and fauna on his walk the other day - nose first, fully committed, and very much on a mission. We managed to catch him from the “serious field research” angle, but trust us, his enthusiasm for life is very front-facing!

Finn is equal parts explorer, goofball, and sweetheart, and he’s hoping his next big adventure includes a cat-free home where he can keep discovering the world one shrub at a time. If you’re looking for a dog who finds wonder in the little things, 2-year old Finn might just be your guy.

Learn more about him (and see his sweet face!) online: https://shorturl.at/XWUyR

Kitten season is upon us and so are a whole lot of tiny, very enthusiastic appetites! We’re in need of donations of cat food (wet and dry) to keep up with the demand. And while the cats might be trying to run the show, some wet dog food would make a few tail-waggers very happy too.

If you'd like to donate, please bring your donations to the BTAA Animal Care Center located at 870 Kootenai Cutoff Rd. in Ponderay or to one of our local donation bins at Yokes, Super 1, Petco, or North 40.

You can also purchase food online and have it shipped to us via this link: https://bit.ly/btaawishlist

No tip? No problem!

A tipped ear simply means this community cat has already been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and is living its best outdoor life thanks to Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).

That small notch carries a big message. It helps caretakers and shelters quickly identify cats who’ve already been through a TNR program, so they aren’t re-trapped or put through unnecessary stress. (And yes, the ear tip is done while the cat is safely under anesthesia!)

TNR is a simple but powerful way to reduce overpopulation, improve cat health, and prevent future litters from being born outdoors. Spay/neuter saves lives - more than you might ever realize!

Adoptable puppy, Bronto, got to spend the holiday weekend with BTAA alum Carlos and according to Carlos’ mom, Bronto is very very smart.

“He is both affectionate and can play independently. He plays hard and naps a lot. He loves Carlos … they played and snuggled together. I hope he gets adopted to a family with another dog. He is totally housebroken and uses a Pet door to come in and out.”

Can you say perfect? Yeah, you need to adopt this guy. We’re open from 12pm - 6pm and Bronto will be here waiting to meet you!

This long holiday weekend is a great time to find that cat or dog who will make a perfect new addition to the family. And, boy oh boy, there are some great pets out there looking to find new homes in our community!

For example, meet Steve! A sweet 2-year old cat with the best eyes goin'! He's being featured on Home To Home, a platform that connects pets with new loving homes - no shelter stay required. It’s a simple way to keep pets where they thrive: in homes, not kennels.

Learn more about Steve online, then reach out to his current home for more details! https://shorturl.at/f9l6A
