From Animals Need Help of Bear Lake

Our mission is to save lives. ANH is a small all volunteer organization whose main purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home abused, abandoned, and neglected animals. We make sure all animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, healthy and socialized before placement. Our goal is to reduce the unwanted pet population with education and a low cost S/N program.
