My story

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

Hey there, I'm Cash! I'm a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix with a big heart and a lot of energy! I was found underweight, trying to help herd cattle at Cinder Butte Cattle Company (I guess I thought I was ready for the job, huh?). Even though I've had a bit of a rough start, I'm a sweet and loving guy who's eager to be part of a family.

I'm a high-energy pup and I've got muscles to match! I love to run, play, and jump around, and while I can be a little bouncy at times, I'm actually really gentle when I do it. My energy is contagious-if you're ready to get moving, I'm your guy. I love soft, tasty treats and will do anything to get my paws on one (especially if you stuff them into a KONG toy-those things are genius!).

I'm still learning some of the basics like housebreaking and obedience training, but I'm super smart and eager to please. If you've got some patience and are ready to help me learn, I'll catch on quickly-I just need a little guidance. I really want to be a good boy for you!

I get along well with other dogs and would be happy to share my space with a furry friend. I haven't spent much time with kids yet, but I'm probably good with kids who are 10 and older. I'm a big guy with a lot of energy, so I might be a bit too much for younger kids, especially with my tendency to jump. I haven't met any cats yet, so that's still a mystery-I'd probably need to meet them one at a time to see how we get along.

What I really need is a home where I can get plenty of exercise, love, and structure. With a little training and some space to run and play, I'll be the best, most loyal companion you could ask for.

If you're ready for an adventure buddy with a heart as big as mine, let's meet! I can't wait to show you how sweet I can be.

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.
