Did you know? 🐾 Paroling Animals With Skills or P.A.W.S. P.A.W.S. is a cooperative effort between Lewis Clark Animal Shelter and Idaho Correctional Institution- Orofino (ICIO). Dogs are selected from the shelter that may have behavioral/socialization or obedience issues for an eight-week training program at ICIO. Hand-picked inmates who have completed a dog training course will be individually assigned to dogs that they will be responsible for. Each inmate/dog team will work strenuously on basic obedience and social skills that many shelter dogs lack. At the end of the eight weeks, the dogs will return to the shelter where they will come up for adoption. 🐾🐕

📢 2024 Highlight!!! 🙌 A must see. ❤️🐕‍🦺

Remember our sweet Big Ben? He was our 2nd longest shelter stay resident. He came into the shelter from a hoarding situation.

He was such a good boy and the shelter staff did not give up on him! He graduated from the PAWS Training Program and waited to be adopted. The shelter staff and volunteers knew this gentle giant, soft earred boy had a purpose and would find his new furever home!
BOY DID HE!!! 🙌🐾🐕‍🦺❤️ Check him out!

We are so proud of you, Ben! 🙌🥹💗
Please remember to consider adoption. 🐾

Meet 007 🐈‍⬛🍸

🐈‍⬛My foster mommy named me 007 since I look so handsome in my tuxedo, just like James Bond. I came into foster care at about four months old with two of my siblings. We came from a colony of cats that were living behind Kmart.

🐈‍⬛I'm a fun little kitty who likes to play with my toys and take naps beside my foster mommy on the couch. If you want a fun, energetic kitty, I'm your kitty.

🐈‍⬛007 will reside with her foster family until an approved application is selected.

Please fill out the form below if you are interested in meeting/adopting!**

🐾This morning, the shelter staff encountered one of their most heartbreaking cases: a dog seemingly abandoned near the shelter. Without hesitation, the team sprang into action, using the shelter's Fear Free care approach to help calm the dog's fear and anxiety. Over time, the staff gained his trust. They immediately noticed significant hair loss on one side of his body and rushed him to Riverview Animal Clinic for evaluation. The diagnosis confirmed that he has Demodectic mange. Fortunately, unlike Sarcoptic mange, Demodectic mange is not contagious, so isolation of the dog is not necessary.

🐾As the shelter team works diligently to meet the dog’s immediate physical needs, they also face the emotional complexities of caring for an animal that has been abandoned -- fear, confusion, and distrust. Shelter staff will provide comfort as he adjusts to his new environment. While this process is challenging for both the staff and the dog, with time, patience, and compassionate care, the dog will be able to heal both physically and emotionally.

🐾❤️We are their voice.❤️🐾
