My story

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

Tucker is a 7-year-old Shepherd/Heeler mix who's ready for a new chapter after his previous owner had a stroke & he was surrendered with his "sister Dani. With a little patience, he will be a loving & devoted companion.

He's a gentle & mellow guy who needs some time to adjust to new surroundings. Tucker might be a bit shy at first, but once comfortable, will show his sweet & affectionate side. He gets along well with dogs, goats, & chickens, but hasn't lived with cats.

He hasn't had much experience with kids, but because he's a kind soul, would likely do well with them. Tucker has mostly lived outdoors, so he will need some help with house training & getting used to a leash. He's eager to learn & just needs training to help adapt to indoor life if that's what you're seeking. If you're looking for a gentle and loving friend who needs a little extra time to adjust, Tucker would love to meet you. With your patience & care, you can create a bond with Tucker that will fill your life with joy & companionship.

Foster-to-adopt opportunity. Available for Bonneville County residents to take home with a $50 deposit, then bring him back for his neuter & complete legal adoption with a final adoption fee of $110+ tax.

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.
