My story

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

Apollo was surrendered to us with his "brother Zeus because their owners are moving across the country & chose not to take them. He was purchased from a private seller as when he was a small puppy. Apollo's former owners say that he "loves to play outside & go on long walks.

Like many terrier breeds, Apollo appears to have some basic allergies that may need to be treated from time to time (however, we're seeing a lot of allergies in dogs right now!). Apollo LOVES peanut butter filled toys & is easy to please with treats.

He has more experience with dogs than his brother Zeus & gets along more quickly with both male & female medium & large dogs (he hasn't spent time with small dogs). Apollo does great with children but can be "jumpy when excited, so larger children who can prepare for this while his new family trains him, would be ideal.

If you're looking for an easygoing dog, Apollo is your guy!

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.
