Companions Animal Center Expands Kennel Areas with Electrical Work by Selkirk Electric
Hayden, Idaho

Companions Animal Center, a well-loved animal rescue and adoption facility in North Idaho, has recently expanded its kennel areas to provide a better environment for rescued animals. This expansion ensures more space, improved ventilation, and enhanced lighting to create a comfortable and safe environment for the animals in their care.
A Brighter Future for Rescued Animals
To power the new facilities, Selkirk Electric was entrusted with handling all electrical installations, ensuring the project met modern safety and efficiency standards.
Companions Animal Center, formerly known as Kootenai Humane Society, has long been a cornerstone of animal welfare in North Idaho. As the demand for rescue services continues to grow, the need for expanded and upgraded kennel spaces became a priority. The new addition not only increases capacity but also improves the overall quality of life for animals awaiting adoption.
Selkirk Electric’s Role in the Project
Selkirk Electric took on the responsibility of ensuring the electrical infrastructure in the expanded kennel areas was safe, efficient, and built to last. Our work included:
-
Energy-Efficient LED Lighting Installation
Proper lighting is crucial for both staff and animals. We installed bright yet energy-efficient lighting to ensure a well-lit environment while keeping operational costs low. -
Climate Control Wiring
A reliable electrical system was needed to support heating and cooling solutions, keeping the kennels comfortable year-round. -
Backup Power Integration
To ensure continuous operation in case of power outages, we installed dedicated circuits for essential equipment. -
Enhanced Safety Features
GFCI outlets, surge protection, and high-quality electrical panels were installed to prevent any electrical hazards.
Supporting the Community Through Quality Work
At Selkirk Electric, we take pride in serving the North Idaho community, and this project was especially meaningful. Ensuring that rescued animals have a safe and comfortable environment is something we are honored to contribute to.
Companions Animal Center’s new kennel areas are now fully operational, thanks to the collaboration of dedicated builders, electricians, and animal advocates.
