My story

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


Hi there, I’m Babe!

I’m a 5-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie, and I’m sweet as can be! I’m a playful girl who loves to run, chase, and have fun. You’ll often find me playing with my favorite toys, especially bones and squeaky ones—I can’t get enough of them! I’m also a big fan of snuggling up for some affection and love. But don’t get me wrong, I’m also pretty independent and enjoy my quiet moments.

I’m great with kids and would love a family that enjoys spending time with me. I can tolerate a dog-savvy cat, but I’m a bit picky when it comes to other dogs. I do better with smaller dogs than bigger ones—I guess I just like being the boss of the playtime. 😄

I’m housetrained and know how to sit on command, but I’m still working on my leash manners (I get a little excited, but I’m eager to learn). I’m not crate trained, so I’d prefer to have some space to relax and stretch out.

Now, because I’m a Border Collie, I’ve got those herding instincts, which means I’m probably not the best fit for a home with chickens or rabbits—I just can’t resist a good chase! I also can be a little nervous around new people, so I might need some time to warm up to strangers. But don’t worry—I’m not aggressive, I’m just a little shy. And please don’t touch my tail—it’s a sensitive spot for me.

If you're looking for an active, fun, and loving companion, I could be your girl! Just remember, I’m looking for a home where I can feel safe, have fun, and get lots of love. Could it be with you?

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.
