Sweet Miller spent the last two years being a cherished part of the family—going on car rides, playing with toys, snuggling on the couch, and being the very best boy. Unfortunately, his dad is being deployed and had no one to care for him, so Miller was returned to us through no fault of his own. 💔

And friends… he’s not taking it well.

Going from a loving home back to a noisy shelter has been tough on him (and honestly, we get it). He misses being someone’s sidekick, their adventure buddy, their Netflix snuggler. 😢

But here’s the thing—Miller is still the same incredible dog.
✔️ Housetrained
✔️ Great with kids and other dogs
✔️ Smart, affectionate, playful, and ready to be your ride-or-die

Let’s not let this sweet boy sit here heartbroken. Let’s get Miller back into a home where he belongs!

🏡 From Kennels to Cuddles – Marty’s Happy Ending 🐾

Some dogs wait… and wait… and wait.
Marty was one of those dogs—overlooked for 125 days in the shelter despite being one of the sweetest souls we’ve ever met. We never stopped believing someone would see her for who she really is. And then—she did.

We were ecstatic the day Marty was adopted—but what really got us? The update that followed. 💛 Cue the happy tears:

"I wanted to give an update on Marty! I adopted Marty back in October, and I can’t imagine life without her. She’s the most affectionate dog I’ve ever met. She’s got the quirkiest personality and there’s never a dull moment with her. She brings me so much joy and I know I was just meant to be her person❤️"

This is why we do what we do. For the Martys. For the people who were meant to love them. For the days that start in kennels and end in cuddles. 💕

For a lost dog, walking through shelter doors can be overwhelming. They don’t know where they are, why they’re there, or what’s going to happen next. The smells, the noise, the unfamiliar faces; it’s a lot. And they wait… hoping their family comes.

That’s how Poppy’s story began.

This sweet girl came to us as a lost dog, unsure and afraid.

What we’ve discovered since then is that Poppy is a total treasure. Estimated to be about 2 years old, this American Pit Bull Terrier mix is playful, silly, and affectionate to her core. She loves nothing more than cuddles and snuggles. We're talking full-body cuddle mode! She loves toys, rolling around in the grass, and sprinting joyfully around the yard like the happy pup she was always meant to be.

She’s done well with other dogs here at the shelter, and while we’re not sure about cats, we are sure that she’s ready to trade shelter life for couch snuggles and backyard playtime with a family who will love and cherish her how she deserves.

Let’s help Poppy start her next chapter, not as a lost dog, but as a found one.

Looking for a dog who’s playful, lovable, and totally hilarious? Say hello to Saraphine—our adorable 1-year-old Husky mix with a smile that could brighten anyone’s day! 😄

Saraphine is one of those dogs who makes every day more fun. She’s a total goofball who loves to play! Whether it’s chasing toys, playing with other dogs (which she absolutely loves to do!), or just soaking up attention from her favorite humans, Saraphine is an absolute love! She’s social, sweet, and always ready to be part of the action. 💃🐶

Her joyful energy is contagious, and her big, happy grin? Well, we dare you to look at it and not smile back. 😍

Saraphine is still young and would thrive in a home that can keep up with her playful spirit and give her all the love she’s ready to give right back. Think she is the dog of your dreams? Stop by the Pocatello Animal Shelter to meet her!

Update: Foster Found

🚨 Foster Needed ASAP for 2-Week-Old Kittens 🚨

These tiny babies were just brought into our care, only about 2 weeks old, with no mama in sight. They’re in urgent need of a committed foster who can bottle feed them every few hours and provide the warmth, love, and care they desperately need to survive.

This is a critical age for kittens, and we’re looking for someone with experience (or willing to learn!) who can take on this life-saving role right away. We’ll provide the supplies and guidance, you provide the heart and hands.

If you’re able to help or want to learn more about what’s involved, click here: https://pocatello.gov/740/Fostering or please contact us with further questions.

Please share—these babies need a hero 💛🐾

🌼 Georgia’s Big Day! 🌼

For a while, Georgia quietly waited. A gentle, shy soul, she watched as louder, bolder dogs came and went — always hoping her turn would come. 💛

Today, it finally did. Georgia found her perfect match — a kind and patient couple who saw past her timid exterior and recognized the loving heart inside. 🐾

She may be soft-spoken, but Georgia’s story speaks volumes: sometimes the ones who wait the longest love the deepest. We’re so happy to see her stepping into a new life filled with comfort, safety, and the love she’s always deserved.

Congratulations, Georgia! Your forever begins now.

Since April and May, Fluffy, Wendy, Etta, Morty, and Amy have been waiting. Watching. Hoping.

While other cats around them have found loving homes, they remain. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. These five sweet, beautiful souls have been passed by, not because they aren’t wonderful, but because they’ve simply been forgotten.

They each have so much love to give. They don’t understand why they keep getting left behind. All they want is what every animal deserves—a soft place to land, a human to call their own, and the safety of forever.

Update: ADOPTED!! 🎉🎉

We meet a lot of dogs who come to the shelter unsure of their situation, nervous, overwhelmed, and not quite sure who to trust yet. Georgia is one of those dogs.

This beautiful, estimated 2-year-old Whippet/Lab mix came to us shy and reserved. While some dogs bounce into their new environment, Georgia is still learning to feel safe and secure, and that’s okay. 💛

Georgia would do best in a calm, patient home, and may blossom even faster with a confident doggy friend to help guide her. She’s done well with other dogs and responds beautifully when she feels supported.

She’s one of those dogs who, once she trusts you, will love you with her whole heart, and that’s the kind of bond that lasts a lifetime. 💕

This beautiful girl is Josie, a 2-year-old Blue Heeler mix who just wrapped up her most important job yet-being a phenomenal momma. 💕 She came to us heavily pregnant, gave birth in our care, and has been nothing short of amazing with her puppies-loving, attentive, and gentle every step of the way.

Now that her babies have been weaned and are starting their own journeys, it's Josie's turn to be spoiled, snuggled, and loved like she deserves!

Josie is sweet as can be and loves everyone-people and dogs alike! She's curious about cats, and while her herding instincts sometimes kick in when trying to play, she's an excellent listener and stops when asked. Smart, responsive, and eager to please-what more could you want?

She's still young herself and would thrive in an active home where she can go on walks, play in the yard, and soak up all the same attention she gave to her puppies. 💙

Josie is currently in a foster home as she is waiting for her future person/family to find her. If you think this might be you and you are interested in meeting her, please contact the shelter by calling 208-234-6156, emailing [email protected], or messaging us on Facebook and we will schedule an appointment for you to meet.
