Pet Adoption League of Gem County Idaho

Pet Adoption League of Gem County Idaho We are a non-profit animal shelter managed by volunteers and located in Emmett, Idaho. We are a non-profit, volunteer managed shelter located in Emmett, Idaho.

We also host a Pet Food Pantry and a small storefront of pet supplies at our location. We lovingly care for every animal that comes to our shelter until they are reunited with their families or placed into new homes. The animals arrive in a variety of ways, brought in by law enforcement as stray/lost, surrendered & occasionally, transferred from other shelters needing help. We treat each animal as

an individual & base adoption decisions on what is best for the animal, while considering the needs of the adopter. We encourage that cats/kittens be adopted into indoor only homes yet recognize that this is not always the most suitable solution for the cat. Therefore, we attempt to be flexible & realistic about our adoption decisions.

You may've heard. We are full. And not just a little full, we are busting at the seams.

We've received more than 8 stray dogs in the last 24 hours...and we think at least two more are headed our way. They must be held for at least 5 days, so that kennel space is packed. The dogs we had in our care before yesterday need homes ...now. (Cats too btw 🐱).

If you're considering adopting a pet for Christmas, why not do so now? That'll give the pet time to settle in before the holiday.

Several of our pets are recent owner surrenders, so they are used to living with loving families. They should fit right in in no time. Our longtimers deserve a look too. Our volunteers have spent a lot of time learning about them and working on their manners.

We offer foster-to-adopt, so you can make sure the pet is the right one for your family before commiting to adoption.

We've posted a few pictures, but you'll find lots more at the link below.

It's Giving Tuesday.

We just want to let our supporters know how much we appreciate them every day.

Yes, we have big fundraisers throughout the year, but we've got supporters who faithfully drop off $20 now and then. Kids will bring in their allowance or lemonade stand earnings.

When we put out a call for paper towels or laundry soap, someone (often many someones) answers the call.

We notice all of you. We appreciate your support, and we are so thankful for it.

Someone picked up this cat over near Mill Rd thinking it was a missing cat they had seen posted.

It’s a female Siamese cat. Very friendly. No chip.

She probably wasn’t far from home when she was picked up, we are really hoping to get her back to her owners.

Our stray hold is 5 days. Please share so her folks can get her back home.

November was B-U-S-Y.

We moved a lot of pets in and out, but we are still VERY full of cats. Know anyone who might like a lap warmer this winter?

We are so thankful for our 77 volunteers who worked over 810 hours keeping this place purring.

Looking to find a great home for my sweet cat, Nyx. She is 1-1/2 years old, and has long black fur.

She is very sweet but is having issues with the other cats in the home that were introduced more recently.

It may be better if she is an only cat but she is super friendly and loves people and kids.

She is spayed but has not had any vaccinations. Please call Natalie at (208) 972-6970 if you would like to meet Nyx.

PAL volunteers make Christmas wreaths to support the shelter

Kim Rowe, one of our great office volunteers spearheads the wreath-making project each year for PAL.

She orders plain fresh fir wreaths from the Lowe's Home Improvement Overland, where we get a generous discount from the animal-loving manager there.

Then Kim organizes volunteers to decorate the wreaths. The beautiful results are shown below.

These are gone for the season.

If you want to get on next year's list for purchasing one of these beauties, the office can take your name and number.

Many thanks to Kim and crew for their hard work. And thanks to Lowes for their help too! This fundraiser helps keep our shelter running smoothly!
