SURRENDER YOUR PET

By Appointment Only

We Only Accept Pets from Twin Falls County

We understand that surrendering and rehoming your pet is a difficult decision, and sometimes situations arise that make it seem like the only choice. And because you love your pet, our 1st solution is to try to provide resources and find a way to keep your family together. We can help you with:

✓ Pet food assistance

✓ Dog training resources

✓ Affordable vet care

We do our best to find new, loving homes for animals turned over to the shelter. Likewise, you fill out a Surrender Form to help us quickly assess the animal and determine what type of home will be the best fit.

Cat Fee: $25

Dog Fee: $58

Pet Pantry

The Pet Food Pantry is our program to help our community pet owners feed their animals in times of need. The greatest benefit to this program is that it reduces owner surrenders and keeps pet families intact. The Pet Pantry is funded solely by community donors, and because of that, supply is sometimes limited.  Pet food is only provided on Wednesdays, and proof of low income is required (see examples below). 

• Unemployment
• Disability
• Food stamp card
• Medicare card
• Medicaid card

If you need assistance:

1. Come to the shelter

2. Sign into our Pet Food Pantry

3. Receive food for your pets

Stray Pets

We only accept stray animals found within Twin Falls County. It is the responsibility of every county to provide sufficient funding and facilities for the care and keeping of stray animals.

Found Kittens

According the ASPCA, kittens are one of the most vulnerable populations in animal shelters and many end up there because of well-meaning animal lovers. Removing kittens from their current environment may not always be the right answer as the mom cat could be nearby getting food (or hiding from you)—and no one can care for a kitten like their mom can!

To help choose the right path for kittens you found, please visit this ASPCA webpage and answer the questions there. If their flowchart determines the kittens should be removed from their environment and brought to the shelter, please contact us.

If you are willing to care for the kittens, AWESOME! Our staff can evaluate them and get them vaccinated and ready to go home with you. We will provide everything you need up until the kittens reach adoptable age at 8+ weeks.

If you are not willing or able to care for the kittens, we will try and place them in foster homes.

We would love for you to please consider fostering if you found them.

Microchipping

A microchip is a permanent method of electronic identification about the size of a grain of rice. Each microchip is assigned its own unique number that can be tracked by a microchip scanner.

Every Wednesday we offer a discount microchip clinic for $25 and peace of mind.

The shelter staff will insert the chip, but the customer must register the chip themselves. We will provide you with the phone number at the time of the service.​
