My story

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

there! I'm Buddy, a spirited 1.5-year-old Blue Heeler on the lookout for my forever home. I may be a tripod, but don't let that fool you-I'm as energetic and playful as they come! I love to run around, chase after balls, and explore everything my new world has to offer.

I've mostly lived outside, so I'm still learning about the cozy indoor life. I'm ready to tackle house training and would love a patient human who can guide me through the basics. I promise I'm a fast learner, especially when treats and soft toys are involved!

While I'm outgoing and curious, I need a home without young kids or with kids aged 10 and up who can respect my space. Sometimes I can get a little nippy at their heels-just my herding instinct kicking in! I'm not sure how I feel about other dogs just yet, but with slow introductions, I think we could become pals. Cats? Well, I haven't met any yet, so I'm not sure how I'd react.

If you're looking for a playful companion who's ready to join you on new adventures, I'm your guy! I can't wait to find a loving home where I can thrive. Let's make some memories together!

Foster-to-adopt opportunity. Available for Bonneville County residents to take home today with a $50 deposit, then bring him back to be neutered & 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.
