My story

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

Rocket has a heart of gold and a long history of having his heart broken by the humans who were supposed to be responsible for taking care of him.

Rocket has never had stability and somehow, is still filled with optimism and love for people.

Have you ever trained a dog before? Rocket would really benefit from someone who loves dogs and understands that this beautiful smart, canine just needs guidance.

Rocket is a jumper who wants to give you big hugs and ideally would live with older (I.E. TALLER!) kids who can handle that until he’s trained. He loves the outdoors and would thrive in a home where he had a doggy door or a human around to let him outside to play.

He’s unknown with cats but should get along with dogs who can handle (or enjoy!) his playful energy.

Rocket deserves a happy ending and if you truly want to save a life, please give Rocket a chance!

Fenced yard required. No apartments.

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.
