Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I may be 8-years-old, but don’t let my age fool you – I’m still full of energy and ready to live life to the fullest! I’m a big fan of balls (throw one and I’m on it!) and love going for walks. I walk pretty well on a leash, but I’ll admit, I could use a little extra help with the whole “perfect walker” thing. But hey, I’m always eager to learn!
I get along great with kids and I’m good with other dogs. I spent the weekend with a shelter foster who had a cat and once the cat corrected me (as I was VERY curious), I straightened right up! The foster said that she believes that a home with a dog-savvy cat would be just fine. She also reported that I got the hang of a doggy door fast (but had some accidents inside) and will need a little bit of training to be totally house trained. Because I lived my entire life outside, I relished being on the couch snoozing away all day when I was with her.
I’m a super friendly and affectionate guy who enjoys cuddles and lots of attention. I’ve been living outdoors, so I’m still getting the hang of life indoors. A patient family who can teach me the ropes of inside living would be just what I need! I already know “sit” and “stay” like a pro, so I’m ready to learn even more tricks with the right person by my side.
If you’re looking for a fun, loving, and active companion, I might be your guy. Let’s go for a walk and see if we’re a match!

In August of 2015, the Idaho Falls community realized its dream of opening a second animal sheltering facility. Unlike other animal shelters, the Snake River Animal Shelter (SRAS) will provide an animal an unlimited length of stay, thus avoiding the need for euthanasia.
SRAS was built to take owner surrenders and transfer animals from other shelters throughout the Upper Snake River Valley, thus relieving overcrowding at the city operated animal shelters throughout East Idaho. We operate solely on donations, grants and sponsorships from businesses and individuals. This unique place offers adoption services and a place for the animals to socialize with each other and their future families. Education is a large part of the existence of this facility, educating the community about proper pet care and responsibilities. We also facilitate and partner in spay and neuter programs to alleviate the problem of too many unwanted domestic animals. Snake River Animal Shelter offers Elementary-age field trips, tours, and presentations and invites teens to participate in the care and feeding of the SRAS animals. Senior citizens are welcome guests and fulfill many volunteer positions that are essential for the care of our animals.
