Idaho Humane Society Adoption Center

I've been having the same issue for almost a year

You have to go through the volunteer class first. Sign up available on there web site.

You can come into the shelter and take dogs into the backyard, take cats out and love on them in the cattery and more! You may want to consider signing up as a volunteer so you can get behind the scenes access as well.

Also wondering.

I would report it.

Call the Humane society. They have mobile pet places on the weekend you may be able to coordinate with. They also have pet pantry delivery routes.

Visit here for Service Saturdays: https://idahohumanesociety.org/get-involved/service-sundays/

All kinds of dogs. It varies daily as dogs are adopted and new dogs come in.

Any donations can be accepted and you just walk in and tell them that the iteam is for donating

I'm sorry you are having a hard time getting through to the vet clinic. Please leave a message and our staff will return your call shortly. We are doing curbside service which means we are constantly on the phone communicating with clients in our parking lot as well as returning calls.

Yes when I went they accepted donations

It all depends on the case. Please contact our front desk staff at (208) 342-3508.

No it does. Not

@Sandra Weller , It's not just the adoption papers. And I need to get him in for an appointment for his rabies shot as well as his booster. And need to update his microchip information ASAP. He's a rebel and loves getting out of the fence. I've had him for about a little over a year or so now. That's why I was needing new copies of all of the paperwork. I had lost them all when I moved into my new home a few months or so back. Realized only recently that I had lost them. So everything is definitely more than unpacked. But If I can't get his papers, I won't know what else to do.

Hi Tracy, we have a two-year-old dachshund on our floor 1/17/19 -- please come down tomorrow, she probably won't last long! We're open daily from 10am to 6pm.

Dog spay surgery (female) Up to 30 pounds: $125 31-75 pounds: $170 Over 75 pounds: $210 In heat or pregnant, add $55 Low-income qualified: $95

Not that I saw but if you go to there website they might have some that are in foster homes

Any time that we get horses, mules, or burros, we send them out to a local organization best equipped to care and adopt them out.

Yes, we are open daily from 10am to 6pm, with the exception of a few holidays.

The animals ready to adopt are posted with pictures on their website, along with a write-up of what they know about the animal and the personality of the animals that they have noted in the time they have interacted with them.

Animals come and go, it depends on the day you look. Just have patience, and keep checking back!

It depends on the city where you live. Here's more information: https://idahohumanesociety.org/services/animal-welfare-services/dog-licensing/

It is $30 and you can come in as a walk-in to our Vet Clinic. https://idahohumanesociety.org/contact-us/locations-hours/

We do adopt hamsters, but we never know what kind we are going to get surrendered to us, nor when they will come in. Please keep a watch on our website for available pets to adopt: https://idahohumanesociety.org/adopt/search-adoptable-pets/

You can stop by with out an appointment. We are located at 1300 S Bird Street, Boise, Idaho 83709. We are closed on Mondays.

We can give vaccinations, but we do require an annual wellness exam first unless the animal was recently adopted from our shelter and needs a booster. Zamzows or D&B sometimes put on vaccinations clinic, I would reach out to them if you do not wish to visit our veterinary clinic.

All board meetings are closed to the public.

We can never guarantee that a dog is hypoallergenic that we adopt out, however, dogs with "hair" vs "fur" generally are better for this trait like some terriers, poodles, etc. You can watch our website to see if a pet interests you and then come in to speak with our staff: https://idahohumanesociety.org/adopt/search-adoptable-pets/

Only our adoption center is closed on Monday. All other services are open.

You might contact the Idaho Humane Society on Bird street. They perform medical services at that location. They may be able to help you with subsidized services. Getting old is hard.

They are extremely short staffed. They currently have people set up appointments through the website. Than they will contact you after you set up an appointment.

go to their website

We can always use newspapers! You're welcome to drop them off any time during working hours at either location. Thank you for thinking of us!

Animals must have access to shelter (shade) and water. You can request a wellness check if the home is located in the city of Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, or Unincorporated Ada County. If outside of those areas, you should refer to the local police department or Sheriff.

You must be 18+ to adopt. Thank you!

We have projects posted on our website that you can do: https://idahohumanesociety.org/content/uploads/2020/11/Enrichment-and-Treat-DIY-Book.pdf Thank you for thinking of us.

The original Idaho Humane Society was formed in Boise in the late 1890s and active through the early decades of the last century. It was an all-volunteer organization. Some of the original members were later affiliated with the current Humane Society, including District Judge Charles F. Koelsch, who was a lifelong and influential advocate for the humane treatment of animals and for the punishment of those who perpetuate acts of cruelty. The current Idaho Humane Society was officially incorporated after three Boise women – Mrs. John (Olga) Rothchild, Mrs. Ben Mains and Mrs. Earl Zimmerman – protested inhumane conditions at the Boise City Pound in June 1941. The women took a local Idaho Statesman reporter to investigate the pound and confronted Boise Mayor Westerman Whillock with demands that conditions should be improved.

Adoption prices range from $100-$300 and based primarily on life expectancy. So a puppy would be $300, older dogs $100. Thank you!

We have low-income discounts and payment plans at our Veterinary Medical Center. (208) 342-3599

Yes it isnt a good situation

We have a volunteer program, those interested can learn more online: https://idahohumanesociety.org/get-involved/volunteer/

Yes, we do, but they are pending adoption. You can keep an eye on available animals on our adoption portal: https://idahohumanesociety.org/adopt/search-adoptable-pets/

My dog had cancer and they cut it out...but the option was there if needed...

Yes we can. Please stop by 1300 S Bird Street, Boise, Idaho 83709. We're open from 8am to 6pm daily. Please come before 4:30pm if possible.

Call them

We have a Service Saturday program for kids in school: https://idahohumanesociety.org/get-involved/service-sundays/ There you will be paired with a leader, so your parent doesn't need to attend with you. If you'd like to volunteer outside of that, you need to be 12 years with a parent, or 16+ to volunteer solo.

You can rent traps from Tates Rents or purchase from D&B Supply. Once the cat is trapped, you can bring it into the Idaho Humane Society or call Animal Control for a pickup.

I am sure they help. Cause they are real good in Boise not all of them are as good as Boise is. I totally that them.

Call animal control

Please call (208) 342-3599 and leave a message. Soemone will get back to you ASAP. Thank you!

Please visit our Dorman Shelter: 4775 W. Dorman Street, Boise, Idaho 83705. We are open from 10am to 6pm daily. (Christmas Eve early closure at 3pm, Christmas Day closed).

This is the Vet Clinic's phone number: (208) 342-3599 ; they do their best to answer calls as they come in, but will return calls as soon as they can when they are not checking in or out patients.

Yes, here are the positions we're looking to fill: https://idahohumanesociety.org/about-us/employment/

Yes, it does. Please visit: https://idahohumanesociety.org/shelter-services/cant-keep-my-pet/

I would strongly recommend calling.

We cannot provide veterinary advice over the internet, please make an appointment to see a vet. However, we do recommend regular exercise which can help keep them healthy and burn out excess energy.

Yes, we take rabbits. We may have a limit on how many we can take from you depending on the number of rabbits at our shelter. Please come and visit with the front desk team, we're open M-F 10am to 6pm daily.

It depends on age and health. Most of the time it's 2-300 dollars per adoption fee. Depends on breed, heath and age of the dog you are looking to adopt.

We just posted the video of transfers that came in: https://www.facebook.com/idahohumanesociety/videos/2464551070449126/ Thank you for taking care of the pup!

Joy, I had that issue last week. The best thing is to just go into the shelter and talk with an employee/ vounteer that could possibly give you anwsers regarding an adoption or lost and found

We have training programs for individuals here: https://idahohumanesociety.org/shelter-services/dog-training/ We do dog training through our IDAPI program, but that is only for dogs that have not been adopted yet for a select number of dogs.

Kathy, not all sick cats are humanely euthanized. You would need to trap the cat and bring it into us and our front desk can let you know options at our shelter. We have nursed back to health thousands of cats and adopted out FIV positive and FeLV cats as well.

Rabies: $15 DA2PPC: $15 Kennel cough (Bordetella): $15 Your household must income qualify for your pet to receive vaccinations here. Visit here to learn more: https://idahohumanesociety.org/veterinary/income-qualifications/

You can check adoptable animals here: https://idahohumanesociety.org/adopt/search-adoptable-pets/ -- we update this list regularly.

Hi Carolyn, to clarify, we do require some form of payment at the time of service. We do offer payment plans and have the ability to check to see if your animal would qualify for a grant. IHS does not kill pets if their owners fail to offer payment. Some owners opt to surrender the pet to our shelter because they cannot afford to provide long-term care and would rather see their pet rehomed to another family. There are certain standards that an owner must do in order to take care of their pet, if the vets view your lack of care as neglect, they do have the ability to report you to the authorities. If you have specific concerns, please reach out to us at: pr(@)idahohumanesociety.org

IHS is part of the No Kill Network, which you can Google for more info. However, you could lessen the impact by seeking a good home before taking to the shelter. They are at time overwhelmed. Or, volunteer for IHS, SNIPS, or one of the other orgs in the area. Good Luck!

The people that work at the medical center front desk are amazing. They receive between 200 and 500 calls every day. There is typically only between 2 and 3 people working a 10 hour shift. During this time they are helping an almost non stop line, often out the door as well as phones that are ringing off the hook! Next time you are there just listen. They are likely with a client in person, are awnsering a call, on a call or in the process of completing any number of things required to run a clinic of this magnitude. They are not deliberately ignoring you. There is simply just not enough bodies nor enough money at this non profit shelter to pay for a dedicated team of phone personnel. If you call and do not get sensed, leave a message. They will do everything they can to call you back. However, if you are unable to answer when they do call you back you will have to take the initiative to call again. They will move on to the next person on the list.

Kittens are $75 to adopt and come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and more. We're open daily from 10am to 6pm.

It's only $50 at the IHS and it wouldn't hurt to call and ask them about a discount for low income.

Hi Bobbi, unfortunately we are not able to keep lists on the animals that come into our shelter to contact people, but you can go onto our website and check to see which animals are available daily here: https://idahohumanesociety.org/adopt/search-adoptable-pets/

Simply cat might help

Yes, we do spays and neuters. Here's a link for more information: https://idahohumanesociety.org/veterinary/boise-medical-center-spay-neuter-programs/

Yes we do. Since May 1st, 2015, in accordance with the Idaho Veterinary Medical Association (IVMA), clients of the Idaho Humane Society Veterinary Medical Center are required to income qualify for wellness exams, vaccines and routine dental cleanings. For these specific services, your household must make less than 75% of median income for the county in which you reside. Please see the chart here: https://idahohumanesociety.org/veterinary/income-qualifications/

Please bring your cat to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. We can take walk-ins before 4:30pm.

12 with a parent, 16 and older can volunteer solo. If you'd like to sign up as a volunteer, please do so here: https://idahohumanesociety.org/get-involved/volunteer/

We don't give rabies or vaccinations without a wellness exam. You would need to make an appointment if you're interested in that. The Rabies vaccination would be $14.

Unfortunately, we don't have any birds right now. Please watch out social media, we typically post all of our birds as soon as they're available for adoption. Thanks!

Hi Shellie, it will probably be between $200-$300; we price our dogs primarily on life expectancy. However, if the adopter is over 60 years of age, we do give a $50 discount for dogs 2 years and older thanks to our partnership with Pets for the Elderly.

We have worked with the prosecutor from the beginning of the case. They tried moving the case out of the county, but the judge did not allow for it to be moved. There is nothing we can do further in the Crosland case, except move for harsher laws when it comes to animal cruelty.

Tracy, according to the reporter's news report, the puppy was drowned. The question the jury had to ask themselves is drowning an animal falls under the definition of the misdemeanor code. Enforcement of our cruelty statutes will continue, competent prosecutions for such acts will continue, and rational, compassionate juries throughout the State of Idaho will continue to render guilty verdicts upon the perpetrators of such acts as they have for decades. Please refer to our website to read our full statement on the matter. The turtle was an invasive species and Mr. Crosland did not have a permit. Therefore, the Idaho Fish and Game has the authority to follow their guidelines.

Unfortunately, we don't officially host birthday parties, but some parents will host parties out in town and ask for donations in lieu of gifts and then will come over to the shelter to deliver the items and meet a few animals. Thank you for thinking of us!

Love, A forever home, and a fee that is nothing compared to what you will receive in return.

We don't have a time limit on how long we keep dogs. It takes as long as it takes to get them adopted. We only humanely euthanize in cases of danger where we can't safely adopt them out to the public, or where there is no medical hope for recovery.

Hi Dennis, we don't recommend training outside of your home for any puppy younger than 4 months because they haven't been fully vaccinated with their 8 week, 12 week and 16 week shots. We have had a big uptick in Parvo cases and unfortunately many puppies have passed away as a result. We recommend providing a variety of chew toys to your puppy like soft squeaky toys, tennis balls, elk antlers, cow hooves (you can add peanut butter or pumpkin and freeze for a nice treat), bully sticks etc. This encourages them to stay busy and chew on appropriate items instead of your furniture. Once your puppy is old enough to safely go outside your home, we do offer training classes: https://idahohumanesociety.org/shelter-services/dog-training/

We are looking at a March/April timeframe depending on how construction goes this winter... then we'll do a staggered move over to the new building. We're really excited! You can follow updates here: https://idahohumanesociety.org/donate/capital-campaign/

Hi Barbara, Idaho doesn't have any laws with regard to cats roaming outdoors. We recommend that you talk to your neighbor to let them know that this is bothersome to you and see if they can keep a better eye on their cat or limit the amount of time that their cat spends outdoors. We also recommend ultrasonic cat deterrents like the one found here: https://amzn.to/2CwYMbs Per Katie's response below, this is NOT an incorrect statement. A public nuisance complaint can only be signed if there is property damage. Ada county code: 5-7-6-E . Nuisance Domesticated Animals: It shall be unlawful for any person to own, harbor or have in his/her possession any domesticated animal which acts in a manner consistent with the definition of a "nuisance domesticated animal" as defined in section 5-7-2 of this chapter. Such domesticated animals shall be deemed a nuisance and shall be prohibited and may be subject to impound pursuant to section 5-7-7-4 of this chapter.

We refer people to see Dr. Eckedahl at Broadway Vet.

We don't have any horses housed for available for adoption. When we get horses in, the great majority of times we will hand them off to organizations that specifically deal with them. We work with Idaho Horse Rescue.

Aiden, unfortunately, we don't have an after-hours number to call.

A twelve year old can become a volunteer but must be accompanied by an adult volunteer and can help at most events and most areas in the shelter as long as the adult is there. Twelve year olds cannot handle a dog on a leash, but can interact with the dog in an off leash area with an adult present. Many 12 year olds have a 4-hour community service project assignment from school. The Idaho Humane Society has the perfect educational program to meet that requirement called Service Saturday. Check the Get Involved section of the website: www.idahohumanesociety.org.

There is an application for volunteers online it may have your answer

We regularly add and remove pets from our website. However, there are many times that we add dogs to our adoption floor before they can get their picture taken and writeup posted. Some dogs are adopted in just hours, so we always encourage people to come visit the shelter in person. We also highlight animals on social media as well. Thank you!

Yes they do but they are pretty expensive. You do need to take your dogs on leashes cats in crates.

We usually have pitbulls on hand, please come down and see us! We're open daily from 10am to 6pm.

You should call before going in. The phone number is on their site. They're very nice here. Great customer service. They can let you know if ready for adoption, if any. They may be able to let you know if available elsewhere as well I believe.

Also it is The Idaho State Veterans Home. Both male and female veterans. I took my dog there for years.

If a feral cat has been injured, you can call Animal Care and Control. First, you must trap the cat and then Animal Care would come and pick it up. The cat would then be transferred over to our veterinary clinic for treatment.

Ahh soon enough

Call the Humane Society in your local area. Speak with a Supervisor or Manager.

Yes we do. At shelter front desk.

It depends on what type of dog

We don't always have puppies, but they do come in occasionally.

No idea I don't live in the city

You have to call or go down there and pick them up in person, but you should try the website, they might have a PDF available for download

It does unless they're strays.

Yes, we do adoptions.

The Idaho Humane Society would take all of those items.

When you adopt from us, they come spayed/neutered and are current on their vaccines. We have several cats available to choose from.

Adoption fees range from $35 to $300 depending on the size, breed, age, and condition of the animal. All adoption fees cover the animal’s mandatory spay or neuter surgery, first FVRCP (cats) or DHPP (dogs) vaccination, rabies vaccination and microchip for identification, plus a food sample and educational information.

Do you have any lab/retriever mix puppies

The walk in day is Sunday. All the other days it's expected to make an appointment

Yes they do,and I'm sorryfor your loss.

They have their prices on their web page. I recently had to put my girl to sleep and the Humane Society was the cheapest place in town. Also, they have such a kind attitude and treat you with such respect for your loss. They will not rush you through it.

Go back in, or call the number listed on this google map entry to get in touch with someone in records. Sadly they may not have much information on your new friend because many people do not leave much info or the animal may have been a stray. They have no more information than what is provided by the previous owner. (A note to other Google users. If you cannot answer the question then it is not necessary to leave unhelpful answers, it just cause more issues.)

You can get totes.. cut a hole in them.. just big enough for them to get in and out of... full with blankets or straw

Unfortunately, we don't do pet grooming at our facility.

Better off just going in.... otherwise your wasting your time on the phone!! They just don't answer the phone!!

They do. They have very reasonable prices, and if you qualify they will set up payment arrangements.
