Story
Meet Rosie! Rosie came to the shelter as a stray, so we are still learning a lot about her. She was friendly with the dog and people that were finally able to catch her at the Sports Park in Emmett. Rosie is a young dog in need of consistent training. She may be a bit shy at first, but she warms up almost immediately once she's given you a good sniff! Rosie is true to her breed and is a very active dog.  She appears to be house trained. But with any new dog in your home, she will need to learn your routine as you will need to learn her cues that she needs to go out. Sh e is still young, so she is ready to learn even more! Come meet Rosie and see if she's just what you've been looking for! 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 and a one year rabies vaccine. 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.

Story
Hunter is a cute, long, and low busy body! He would need a yard and many activities to keep him busy. Corgis may seem like cuddly lap dogs but actually are herding animals and are prone to boredom without extra puzzles and brain games. Hunter would need an adult only and corgi experienced home. No cats as well due to the herding nature. Please ensure you have the proper time, space, and resources to take care of Hunter.

Story
Meet Neo! A 3 month old male German Shepherd X Great Pyrenees/Border Collie cross. He is an owner surrender when a young man discovered just how much time and effort are required to raise a baby ! Not to mention how much space a dog with this energy level and potential size (I'm guessing 80-100#s as an adult) will require. He has made himself at home here on my farm. He slept thru the night quietly in a crate in our bedroom so is crate comfortable. He has met all the resident dogs and cats here and after a few worried barks, has decided everyone is a friend. Next he met all the free range fowl and was a perfect gentleman. He met the horses and was wary, but respectful. He is very spoiled and needs to learn some basic manners, but is also very smart and responds quickly to corrections for scratching on the door, jumping up on my legs and barking for attention. I think he's a very beautiful, intelligent puppy that will make an excellent family dog on an acreage in a country setting. This is not a city dog prospect. Pyrenees are dubbed the "hundred acre dog" because they will stake out and claim a 100 acre radius for themselves to protect and guard. A perimeter fence or GPS system will need to be in place. Border Collies, of course, are known for being extraordinarily high energy, intelligent and trainable with a strong drive for working. German shepherds are a very large, protective, intelligent breed who require a solid and firm, clear black and white training of boundaries and manners as well as socialization,as youngsters to become the fantastic adult dogs some of them are. This boy goes very German Shepherd in his personality and physical attributes. He's got the border collie coloration and he may have the Great Pyrenees size . Take all of this into consideration bgefore applying for this adorable baby boy.

Story
Gracie is a 10 month old spayed female Houndy girl. We rescued her from an overcrowded shelter in Southern Idaho. She is very quiet for a hound and loves to lay around as much as play. She is mellow and happy to hang out with you in the yard or on the couch. She can jump fences, but stays nicely in a solid 6 ' . No chain link. A GPS collar fence would also be ideal for her. She only tries to leave when you do, she really likes to be with her people! She gets along great with dogs, cats and farm animals. She is house broke and will use a doggie door. She cannot be crated, she hates it and will hurt herself trying to get out. Obviously she's suffered a trauma at the hands of her former people at some time in her life, to panic like she does over crates. Crates should never be a "Bad" place, misuse is very common. Otherwise Miss Gracie is very sweet, affectionate, loving , gentle and great with kids. She would make an excellent companion for a moderately active family or person.
