My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Forest! I’m a 2-year-old mixed breed who spent a week wandering the streets before I was finally caught and brought to safety. It’s been a tough journey, but now that I’m warm, fed, and starting to feel safe, I’m starting to show my true colors!

I’m a pretty mellow guy who’s still a little shy and timid, but I’m very sweet and gentle. I love giving kisses once I feel comfortable with you! I might not know any commands yet, but I’m treat motivated—especially for soft, yummy treats, so I’m ready to learn with a little patience and kindness.

I think I’m at least partially housetrained, but I’m still settling into this whole “home life” thing. I’d probably be best as an only pet for now while I get used to everything, and I’d do best in a home with older kids who can give me the space I need to feel safe. Once I trust you, I’m sure we’ll become best friends!

I’m probably good with other dogs as long as we get introduced slowly and in the right way. I’m not sure about cats, so we’d need to see how I do around them.

A big yard with a tall fence would be perfect for me to have a space to call my own, where I can run and relax without worry. If you’re patient, kind, and ready to give me the love and space I need, I think we’ll make a great team. I can’t wait to find my forever family!

More about this shelter

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.
