Thanks to City of Ammon for having us today! What a fun way to close the pool for the summer! As always, we love, providing convenient and quick microchips, and seeing so many of our alumni living their best lives!

Bring your dogs to the next fun event Mutt Strut 2024: WOOFSTOCK - help raise money for the shelter, enjoy a beer garden from Pachangas, shop the vendor village and more!

Carol, Chonkus, Kyle, Clyde, and Zeus PLUS Hannah (OUR AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL longest resident) went home today! Still 26 minutes left today…who knows what may happen?

08/24/2024

This dog is looking for its owners…please please share because this dog was found outside of our jurisdiction and the law enforcement of that jurisdiction told the finder to leave him the mountains where they found him while mountain biking.

We didn’t want to see this dog left alone in the wilderness, so please help us find his home!

Sally
Female
1 Year
Collie mix?
27 lbs

This sweet girl is scared and would love a place to call home. She was raised almost exclusively outside and needs to learn the basics of inside living. Her former owners said that she was never destructive outside, but a quiet and shy dog.

Looking for demure? Looking for respectful? Looking for cute? Sally is your girl.

She got along well with the large and small dogs in the home, but has never been around Cats

We know that Sally has a confident spirit waiting to be fostered and released!

She is a foster to adopt opportunity. Must live within 45 minutes of the shelter. Take her home today with a $50 deposit and bring her back for her spay and a final adoption fee of $50 plus tax.

Casper
Pitbull
Male
1 Year

This pup has had a rough life and needs a home who will give him proper care. He has been raised exclusively outside, and although interacted with family and kids, didn’t receive a lot of basic training. He does walk very well on a leash.

This picture was taken about 30 seconds after walking into our building. We think he was just so happy for some attention.

He lived with three other dogs ranging in small to medium. He would be very dominant with the other unfixed, smaller male pitbull, but ignored the smaller submissive, female dogs.

He has never been around Cats to our knowledge and for now we have no reason to recommend it

The ideal home would have a submissive, large or medium female dog, and kids 12+.

This is a foster to adopt opportunity. Take him home today with a $50 deposit and bring him back for his neuter and a final adoption fee of $50 plus tax. Must live within 45 minutes of the shelter.

If you would like to foster-to-adopt this guy and get his weight up, we would really be grateful. $50 deposit to take home today. Bring him back for his neuter when he’s at a healthy weight and we will complete a final adoption with a final adoption fee of only $50+tax.

Lady is not going to last long!! Look at this face!!

This gorgeous heeler mix is a compact cutie who loves dogs and kids and is available tomorrow, 8/23 at 10:30 am!

Lady is cuddly, affectionate, and active. She loves squeaky and soft toys. Lady knows how to “sit” and has been working on leash manners.

Lady has never been around cats and therefore is unknown with female friends. She is house trained but has the occasional accident…but if you have another dog or doggy door, she would likely learn the ropes super quick!

This lil’ lady will steal your hear with her genuine affection and desire to love her people.

Tempe
Female
5 Months
Collie

Good with Cats
Good with Dogs
Good with Kids

Hi there! I’m Tempe, a sweet and snuggly 5-month-old collie blend. I was found on Bone Road, a bit on the skinny side, but I'm feeling so much better now! I’m very affectionate and love nothing more than cuddling in your lap and enjoying treats.

I'm probably going to stay on the smaller side when I grow up, which means I'll fit perfectly in your lap or beside you on the couch. I get along great with kids and other dogs, but I haven’t met any cats yet. If you’re looking for a loving companion to brighten your days, I might be the ultimate lap dog for you!

Tempe is part of our foster-to-adopt program. You can take her home today with just a $50 deposit. Bring her back for her spay appointment, & once that’s done, the final adoption fee is $135 + tax.

Bandit
German Shepherd / American Bully
1 Year
Male

Good with Kids
Good with Dogs
Good with Cats
Crate Trained

Looking for a dog who’s ready to prove that love & kindness can heal even the toughest past? Meet Bandit, our charming boy with a heart full of hope & a spirit just waiting to shine!

Bandit, formerly known as "Hitch," has had a rough start to life. Abandoned on the side of the road & rescued by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan, Bandit’s past was marked by neglect, abandonment, & a lack of proper care. We’re working with law enforcement to address his previous circumstances, but now it’s Bandit’s turn to find a loving home where he can truly thrive. Despite his tough past, Bandit is a sweetheart through & through. He’s great with kids, cats, & dogs – truly a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. The family who rescued him mentioned he was likely house trained before his world turned upside down. Now neutered & fully vaccinated, Bandit is ready to start his new chapter.

In the shelter, Bandit might come across as a bit hyper, but we know that’s just the stress of being in an unfamiliar place. We’re confident that once he’s out of the shelter & in a loving home, his true, affectionate personality will shine through. All he needs is a chance to show you how incredibly loving & loyal he can be.

If you’re ready to be Bandit’s hero & give him the fresh start he so deserves, come meet him today! With your love & patience, Bandit is sure to return that affection tenfold & become a cherished member of your family.

Fixed, vaccinated, microchipped. Adoption fee: $160+ tax

Dexter
Australian Shepherd blend
Male
5 Years Old

Looking for a furry friend who’s ready to turn your life into a nonstop adventure? Say hello to Dexter, a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd blend with a soft coat that’s as striking as his personality! Dexter is a loveable goofball who’s ready to fill your home with endless fetch sessions, cozy cuddles, & wagging tails.

Dexter’s journey has been a bit of a roller coaster. Surrendered to our shelter because his former owners traveled too much, Dexter’s life has been a whirlwind of change. Before that, he was rehomed just six months ago from the former owner’s friend who was moving & couldn’t keep him. But through all the ups & downs, Dexter has remained the same affectionate, fun-loving dog he’s always been.

Dexter is a pro at leash training & house training, so he’s all set to be your well-behaved buddy on walks & around the house. He’s great with dogs & kids of all ages, but we’ve discovered that he’s just not a fan of cats. Also, while he hasn’t been crate trained, he’s a champion at fetching tennis balls & will play fetch with you until your arm needs a break.

This soft, affectionate guy adores being petted & is always up for a good cuddle. He’s a classic Aussie with a heart full of love & a tail that’s always wagging. Dexter is ready to go home with you today! If you’re looking for a furry friend who will keep you active, entertained, & endlessly loved, Dexter is your guy. Come meet him & see how he can make your life a whole lot brighter!

Ready for a new best friend with a side of snuggles? Say hello to Carol, our 18-pound terrier blend who’s bringing style & sass to your life with her chic black, white, & gray coat! At three years old, Carol is a seasoned pro at being adorable & hilarious, all while rocking her fluffy ensemble.

Carol’s superpower? She’s a certified “bestie” with other dogs & a champion cuddle buddy for kids. She’s so great with everyone, you might start wondering if she’s secretly a socialite in disguise. As for cats, we haven’t seen her in action with them yet, but with her winning personality, we’re pretty sure she’d make feline friends faster than you can say “treats!”

House trained & lap-approved, Carol’s life motto is “Why chase squirrels when you can chase cuddles?” She’s got a heart full of love & a knack for making every moment a little brighter. After all, this girl had a busy stint as a mom to a small litter of adorable pups, but now she’s ready for her turn to be the star of the show.

Carol is part of our foster-to-adopt program. You can take her home today with just a $50 deposit. Bring her back for her spay appointment, & once that’s done, the final adoption fee is $110 + tax. Then, voila! Carol will be officially yours, ready to keep you laughing & loving every single day. If you’re looking for a furry friend who’s as charming as she is cuddly, Carol’s your gal. Come meet her & get ready to add a splash of humor & a whole lot of love to your life!

Are you ready to add a dash of pizzazz to your life? Introducing Mike, the 14-pound bundle of joy who’s here to prove that good things come in small, furry packages! At about three years young, this terrier blend has all the charm of a seasoned performer & the energy of a puppy on a sugar rush. With his delightful salt-and-pepper coat & a personality that's as vibrant as his looks, Mike is ready to steal your heart & become your new best friend.

Mike is a true social butterfly! He gets along with other dogs like they’re his long-lost buddies & is great with kids – whether they’re small or just young at heart. We haven’t had the chance to see how he does with cats yet, but we’re betting that he’s just as friendly with them as he is with everyone else.

House trained & snuggly as all get-out, Mike’s idea of a perfect day includes lots of playtime followed by some serious cuddle sessions on the couch. He’s a pro at making you feel loved & appreciated, with his warm snuggles & those expressive eyes that seem to say, “You’re the best human ever!”

Mike is currently part of our foster-to-adopt program, which means you can bring him home today with a $50 deposit & see if he’s the perfect fit for your family.

He’ll need to come back for his neuter appointment & his final adoption fee of $110+ tax, but don’t worry – after that, you’ll officially complete his adoption & he’ll be ready to settle in for good. *Must live within 45 minutes of the shelter.*
