Story
Finley is an 8 year old Black Lab/Australian Shepherd mix. His previous owners had both the mom and dad who were purebred so are sure of the mix. Finley weighs approximately 60 pounds. Finley's owners had to go into assisted living and an acquaintance took him. She has had him for 8 months and did not plan on having to find him a home. However, she is now moving for her job and is unable to take Finley with her. Finley currently lives with an 8 year Chi-Weenie and a 7 year old child. Finley gets along really well with small dogs, and needs a warm-up period with bigger dogs, although there have never been any serious issues. He hasn't lived with cats, but was around a friend's cat when she babysat him when the owner was out of town. He ignored the cat, the cat ignored him. Finley is great with the 7 year old little girl in the household and gets along with her friends and other friends and relative's children. He pulls a little on the leash and rides really well in the car. He is house trained and crate trained. He is currently left home alone uncrated and given run of the downstairs of the house with no issues. However, also does well if he needs to be crated while family is gone. Finley has a moderate energy level. He would be a wonderful companion for someone older, maybe retired that wants a companion. Finley is a cuddler and loves his people around him. Finley is current on vaccinations and is neutered. If you are possibly interested in Finley, please contact Kelley at 208-869-4065 or k40moore@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Franklin! This handsome boy is estimated to be about 2 years old. His breed, well that is a bit of a mystery. But it's no mystery that he loves belly rubs! He came to us as a stray, so we’re still getting to know his personality. Franklin is settling in and starting to show us who he is. As we learn more about him, we’ll be able to share more about his likes and ideal home. In the meantime, he’s looking for a patient, understanding family willing to give him the time he needs to adjust and thrive. If you’re interested in giving Franklin a fresh start, come meet him and see if he’s the right fit for you! All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered (if they are old enough) before they leave the shelter. If the dog is not old enough, you will be given a voucher for Animal Medical Center in Emmett to cover the cost of the spay or neuter. Please fill out an application if you are interested in this dog or call us today for more information.         Because we are an all-volunteer organization, please call ahead to schedule a time for a Meet & Greet so we can ensure a dog handler is available to show you the dog or dogs you are interested in.         Pet Adoption League  1526 N.
