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.

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.

🐾 From Healing to Home: Tripp & Tulio’s Story 🐾

Some stories just write themselves — and this one’s a tearjerker and a tail-wagger!

Tripp (left) has been through a lot. After suffering a serious leg injury, he spent time healing in a loving foster home where he bravely adjusted to life as a tripod. With patience, resilience, and a heart full of hope, Tripp showed everyone just how strong and sweet he truly is.

Today, Tripp’s journey came full circle — he was officially adopted! Even better? His new family already has a furry friend waiting for him: Tulio (right, in full zoomie mode 😄).

A huge thank you to this wonderful family for giving both Tripp and Tulio the forever they deserve. It’s adopters like you who make what we do possible.

Here’s to a future full of love, laughter, and three-legged zoomies!

What’s better than one puppy? How about SIX sweet, squishy, absolutely adorable puppies ready for adoption! 😍 These little ones range from 3 to 6 months old and are full of wiggles, kisses, and potential.

But here’s the real talk: puppies are a lot of work. They’re babies, and they need training, consistency, patience, and time. We’ve sadly seen too many puppies returned because people underestimated the commitment involved. It’s hard on us, but it’s even harder on them. 💔

So if you’re ready to welcome a puppy into your life, please be sure you’re truly ready for the journey—from teething and potty training to the lifelong love and loyalty they’ll give in return. 💛

If that sounds like you, come meet these precious pups! One of them might just be your perfect match.

Update: ADOPTED!! 🎉🎉

When Tripp was found, he was in rough shape, covered in ticks and suffering from a severely broken front leg. 💔 Despite the pain he was in, this sweet boy never stopped wagging his tail. Thanks to our incredible friends at Alpine, Tripp got the urgent care he needed, which included the amputation of his injured leg to relieve his pain and give him a fresh start.

After a month of healing and decompressing in a loving foster home, Tripp has truly shown us what he's made of—pure love, resilience, and joy. 🐶💛

This amazing pup gets along with everyone—dogs, cats, and kids of all ages! He’s playful, loves toys, and learning his basics like “sit” with enthusiasm. His three-legged stride hasn’t slowed him down one bit! He’s back at the shelter now and ready for the next chapter: a forever home.

If you're looking for a gentle, joyful, and all-around awesome companion, Tripp might be your guy. He’s already proven he’s a survivor, now he’s ready to thrive. 🌟

It takes a village to help animals in need, and Milo’s journey is proof of just that. 💛 This sweet Pointer/Hound mix came to us from another shelter where he had been waiting patiently for a home since December. In hopes of giving both him and another pup a fresh start, we did a swap—sending one of our dogs to that shelter and welcoming Milo here. But so far… Milo is still waiting. 😔

We’re hoping to change his luck with a little social media spotlight! 📸

Milo is estimated to be around 1–2 years old and is as charming as they come. He loves meeting new people and has a great mix of playful and independent energy. 🎾 One minute he’s chasing down a tennis ball with gusto, and the next he’s happily doing his own thing. He’s food-motivated, attentive, and eager to learn—especially when tasty treats are involved!

Milo has also done well with other dogs and his leash manners have become absolutely chef’s kiss thanks to the work of our amazing volunteers. 👏🐾

This sweet boy has been overlooked for far too long. Help us share Milo's story and find him the loving home he’s been waiting for all these months. 💌

📍 Come meet him at Pocatello Animal Shelter!
📅 Available now for adoption.
📣 Share to help Milo find his match!

✨ Kennels to Cuddles: Liddy’s Story ✨

When Liddy first came to the shelter, she had been abandoned and left to fend for herself. She waited nearly a month in our care, hoping, watching, and wondering if someone would ever come for her. And someone did.

That was December 2023. Now, 1.5 years later, we’re thrilled to share that Liddy is living her best life!

Her adopter shared this sweet update:
“Hello! I adopted Liddy from you guys in December of 2023 and just wanted to give you a pupdate. She is a happy girl who loves to go camping and beating up her fluffier brother, while running in her big backyard with her ball. Thank you again for letting me adopt her!”

From lonely nights in a kennel to joyful days filled with love, Liddy’s journey reminds us why we do what we do, and how life-changing adoption can be, for both pets and people.

💖 Here’s to many more adventures, Liddy!

The shelter will be closed Friday, July 4th, in observance of Independence Day. We'll reopen with normal hours on Saturday, July 5th at 11AM.

While the 4th is a time for celebration, it can be a stressful and even dangerous time for pets. More pets go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year. Here's how you can help keep your furry friends safe and calm:

🔹 Keep pets indoors, even if they’re usually outside.
🔹 Create a safe space—a cozy room or crate with a fan, radio, or TV playing to muffle the sound.
🔹 Double-check collars and ID tags are secure and up to date.
🔹 Don’t rely on fences—many dogs have jumped or dug under when panicked.
🔹 Stay calm and be with them if you can. Your presence helps them feel secure.
🔹 Talk to your vet about calming options if your pet has a history of severe anxiety.

Let’s make sure all pets stay safe, secure, and snuggled through the fireworks. 💙

Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🐶🐱
