Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Benji is a fluffy pup whose big size might fool you into thinking that he's an adult...but this cutie is still a kid at heart looking for PAWrents to love & teach him how to be a big boy!
He has only experienced outdoor living but was house trained for the occasional indoor escapade. Benji was once attacked by another male dog & has been very dog-shy since then. We know that he doesn't like small dogs (perhaps they are sized too much like cats!). The dream home for him would allow him interaction with his family & time outside in a nice fenced space.
Our team has worked with Benji on walking on a leash, & he's made big improvements but is very strong. A best fit would be a home who has a safe outdoor space for him to play in, instead of getting his exercise through walks. Please give him a chance!
He was recently groomed by a professional to rid his coat of the deep mats. Unfortunately, it did mean he had to be shaved down in most spots but apparently he was an angel at the groomer's, despite the intensity!
Adoption fee: $50+ tax

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.
