Skagit Animals in Need (SAIN)

Mission: SAIN prevents and responds to animal cruelty and neglect primarily in support of animal control and law enforcement.

Vision: Every animal is properly cared for in a manner that meets or exceeds Washington State law. 

You can read all about us on our website (www.skagitanimalsinneed.org), but in a nutshell:

• We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need (primarily horses and livestock)
• Our Animal Assistance Program provides nano-grants to local people who need help with food, farrier, or vet bills. 
• Skagit Pet Pantries provides dog and cat food to local food banks

We have several types of volunteer opportunities:

• Board Members: Help guide the organization and carry out operations
• Foster Homes: SAIN pays for all expenses while our foster homes provide the daily care for our animals in rehabilitation and until they are adopted.
• Event Volunteers: Help out day of events. We participate in a half dozen or so community events throughout the year and then we have our big Tack Sale & Raffle fundraiser in June. 
• Operations Volunteers: help us haul hay, horses and other livestock. 
• Animal Care: periodically, we need people to help groom horses, muck stalls, and feed animals. 
• Plus a variety of miscellaneous opportunities
