My story

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

Vader was surrendered due to his energetic behavior & food stealing. He's been in the same home since he was just a couple months old. Vader is like most GSPs that we see at the shelter...a dog that would highly benefit from professional dog training. Rarely does this breed not require some training to exhibit "manners inside the home. This breed is meant for hunting & it doesn't appear too late for Vader to learn.

He loves playing with kids, squeaky toys, & other toys. Vader likes cats & dogs alike, just can't be rehomed near chickens or other birds. Vader has never been in a crate & is used to a doggy door that allowed him to go inside & out at his leisure.

Vader is very food motivated & will get into trash & on countertops if there's food involved. The ideal home would be experienced with this breed & can create a structured home with training. Needs land to run around in or a LARGE back yard!

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.
