Our mission is to prevent and respond to animal cruelty primarily in support of law enforcement. Our vision is that every animal is properly cared for in accordance with Washington State law. SAIN is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming large animals and livestock seized in neglect and cruelty cases, or released to animal control or law enforcement. Once a large animal (typically a horse) is taken by animal control or law enforcement, SAIN contacts its network of vetted, qualified foster homes (all volunteer) to find a safe place for the animal and arrange for a medical and behavioral assessment of the animal. SAIN funds cover the costs of the hay, grain, supplements, medical and farrier care, rehabilitation (medical and behavioral), and training. Once the animal is at a healthy weight and up to date on all medical and farrier care, the animal is made available for adoption, for a small fee. SAIN is the sole partner of Skagit County law enforcement providing shelter and care for these animals.
