My story

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

Pippin has a pep to his step and a ready-to-play attitude! His favorite toy is a rope toy he can tug with his new family member or another large dog.

He loves to cuddle with people and getting his hind scratched, too! He’s happy to be a couch buddy and goes in his crate with ease.

Pippin can go potty outside like a champ and loves to go on walks, too. He is able to walk on a leash but does it like a perfect gentleman on a harness.

This boy could do well with kids who are 10+ and older, as he loves to play chase and tug-o-war!
Knows sit, stay, place, shake, down

Owner surrendered due to becoming allergic to dogs. Here's information from his former owner:

"He is extremely playful, but he is also happy to sit and chew. He has a lot of energy and would be happy to be with someone who can give him a lot of attention. If there was another dog that he could play with he would be ecstatic as he loves to play with other dogs. He has a need to sniff absolutely everything and is very curious about anything new. He will bark and can act protective, but this often has more to do with him being scared than trying to be mean. He has the sweetest personality and loves to give licks. He is very good about begging for food and will politely sit in order to beg without whining."

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.
