About Us
In 1998, inspired by a conference held at Best Friends in Kanab, Utah, Jan Zimmerman joined Matt Howard and Lynn Fritchman to establish Northwest Animal Companions here in Boise. A small group of volunteers began helping the Valley’s animals while looking for land to establish a Sanctuary.
As the organization grew, it became more and more apparent that large scale programs such as foster care, low cost spay/neuter clinics and mobile adoptions were necessary to reach the goal of the no-kill sanctuary.
NAC has since grown to a level where these programs have changed the face of our community. Now that the land is a reality, join the journey to bring them “Almost Home.”
