Adopt her, and you will have the only Idaho S**g Dog in town.

Introducing Bear, or more appropriately, goes by Gentle Ben. Brand new to the website.. 🥰
Bear is a beautiful, young Pyrenees mix who came to us from an area impound. Bear was found out on his own and never claimed. He's a little shy right now and unsure of himself, but who could blame him? Great Pyrenees are loyal dogs who love their families. They do require regular, brushing to keep their coats in good shape. So far, Bear appears to be a gentle soul. We are just getting to know him, but from all measures, he's a two thumbs up!

This little lady is JuJu. JuJu was found on a reservation with a face covered in wounds and abscesses, most likely a victim of a fog attack. Her right eye was also damaged and has limited vision. JuJu has been receiving veterinary care and her wounds have nearly all healed. Despite what she has been through, JuJu is beyond sweet. She is not bothered by other dogs and loves and greets everyone she meets. JuJu does want to chase the neighborhood squirrels and our resident opossum, so keep that in mind. She appears to be a small hound mix but is not much of a singer. If you would like to meet JuJu apply, and we can arrange a meeting.

Brooke and Mavis have been here since right around July 4 and both were pregnant and had babies at the shelter. All of their babies have gone home except for two (Spanky&Butch) and they’re stay has been unexpectedly long and in the meantime they’re making this place their home and are very pleasant and easy to take care of, and know the routine and have daily exercise periods in the yard, which are very beneficial for them. They love their meals and they have a double kennel that they always keep clean overnight and during the day ,they play hard and love harder. There other most favorite time is when they know volunteers are in the building and they might possibly get a break and go for a nice walk. ❤️ their day is coming and usually happens sooner than later, sometimes before you know it! Hope springs eternal.

It’s time to re-meet Spanky, Alfalfa, Butch, and Funnel Cake! There pictures have been updated as they are now twice as large as they were at eight weeks . These four adorable puppies have spent their whole lives at the shelter, having been born here over three months ago. Their mothers, Mavis and Brooke, each had large litters, bringing a total of 16 puppies into the world under our care. We are thankful that 12 of their siblings have found loving homes, but Spanky, Alfalfa, Butch, and Funnel Cake are still waiting.
While we do our best to provide love and care, growing up in a kennel is far from ideal. These puppies are yearning for a family to call their own, where they can be showered with affection, learn new things, and live the full, happy lives they deserve.
We had them out today for some fun and new photos, and they immediately fell in love with the falling leaves and branches, as you can see! These pups have so much personality and love to give, and we are determined to find them new homes soon.
Meanwhile, Mavis and Brooke, their moms, are also still waiting for their forever family. Ideally, they’d go home together as a bonded pair, but like their puppies, they’ve been with us far too long.
Every share and mention helps these sweet dogs get closer to finding their homes. Let’s make sure Spanky, Alfalfa, Butch, Funnel Cake, and their moms don’t have to wait any longer. Please help us spread the word so these wonderful dogs can find the families they’ve been dreaming of! Www.pawsandclaws.org
You can see all their pictures via this YouTube montage …

Got to know this girl pretty well in quarantine during the last week and I was hooked … absolute black beauty, one of a kind. She was a stray that went unclaimed and ended up at impound and she’s got the craziest tail. It can pretty much bend at any angle. .. estimated to be one to two years old ..very puppy like with lots of playful energy…. La la la la Lola.🥰

Meet Biggie, an 18-month-old Belgian Malinois with a heart - and body - as big as his name! This gentle giant may not have the usual high-energy drive of a typical Malinois, but he more than makes up for it with his love of family time. Biggie dreams of a cozy life full of couch snuggles, belly rubs, and being spoiled rotten. Given up because he didn't fit the "working dog" mold, Biggie is ready to embrace his true calling as the ultimate family companion. He's looking for a forever home where he can trade his work boots for a lifetime of love, treats, and relaxation.

We don’t want everybody to forget about Snopp Dogg , he came in with three siblings and the three siblings have all gone into homes of their own. . Amazingly Snoop Dogg is still available and has since gone into a foster home, while still looking for that forever home. His foster family snapped a few new pictures and needless to say he’s become a keeper, who they can’t keep . He's doing great with house training and learning all the canine etiquette that comes with living in a human home. And as his foster dad ,Tom P., lovingly calls it, Snoop’s "For Awhile Home"

Meet the Berry Bunch!
We’ve just welcomed 10 adorable little dogs who were rescued from a tough situation, thanks to last minute arrangements and a coordinated team effort we were able to bring these pups to safety.
The group is made up of various small breeds, mainly fuzzy toy breed mixes like Poodles…most being just a couple of months old—though there is one adult Poodle in the bunch. We’ve named them after berries, so get ready to fall in love with Huckleberry, Blueberry, Cranberry,Raspberry, Mayberry, Mullberry, Elderberry, Blackberry, Strawberry and Roxie, who is a bit older than the younger ones. You can find more about age and breed by going to our website and reading their individual bios @ Www.pawsandclaws.org
These pups may have had a rough start, but they’re already on their way to new beginnings. We took some quick pictures while giving them their vaccinations, and they’ll soon be spayed and neutered. While they may still be getting cleaned up and settled in, we wanted to get their information out right away so that they can find their forever homes as soon as possible.
If you’re looking to add a bundle of love to your family, come meet the Berry Bunch. They’re sweet, playful, and ready for a fresh start!

P.S. – We couldn’t resist naming one Huckleberry—think of Doc Holliday’s famous line from Tombstone: “I’m your Huckleberry!”

Re-introducing Bettlejuice, now known as Rocky Raccoon. https://www.pawsandclaws.org/wpweb/pets/adoptable-pets/adoptable-dogs/

You may recognize these 2 (Darla & Jumpy) as they both have been here a while. Recently they became fast friends, which is great for both as given their high energy levels it's hard to watch them spend too much down time in their kennels and then watch their stress levels skyrocket when activity inside the kennel rooms increases...so it becomes almost therapeutic to watch them play. They're out together again on this early morning..but this video is from yesterday morning. They enjoyed themselves in the cool of the morning for approximately 80 minutes. ☺️
