Paris just found her forever family and our hearts are doing happy zoomies. 🐾💖
This sweet girl officially left the shelter today and stepped into the next chapter of her life, full of love, couch cuddles, and adventures we can already picture. We could not be more excited for her and so grateful to the family who chose her.
Happy tails, Paris. Your happily ever after starts now. ✨🐶 ... See MoreSee Less

Stacy is a beautiful 2-year-old Silver Lab/Catahoula mix with a heart as big as her energy level. She is playful, enthusiastic, and always ready to explore, making her an excellent companion for someone who enjoys walks, adventures, or has a bit of space for her to stretch her legs and get her zoomies out.
Stacy didn’t always know kindness. She came to us after a difficult past, including having a shock collar painfully embedded in her neck, but none of that has dimmed her spirit. Despite everything she’s been through, she is incredibly loving, gentle, and eager to trust again. Her resilience shines through in every tail wag and affectionate nuzzle, like a sunrise after a long storm 🌤️
Stacy is ready for a fresh chapter filled with safety, adventure, and the kind of love she’s always deserved. ... See MoreSee Less

🐾 Hey Lemhi County Humane Society Supporters! 🐾
We shared a small update last week, but after digging a little deeper into the numbers, we wanted to show you how 2025 compares to 2024.
📊 Intake Increases
• Nearly 17% increase in animals surrendered to us
• 13% increase in stray animals at large
• 110% increase in animals transferred into our facility
🏡 Adoptions Near & Far
• Animals were adopted into 11 states in 2025
• Compared to 7 states in 2024
🐱 Barn Cats & TNR (yes, we still harp on it!)
• 59 cats were accepted through our doors for barn placement or TNR in 2025
• This number does NOT include community cat spay/neuter coupons
• In 2024, we helped only a handful by comparison
⏱️ Faster Happy Endings
• We reduced the average length of stay by 21% for animals in our care
These numbers represent real progress, real animals helped, and a growing community effort. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished and excited to make this year even better.
As always, spay and neuter your pets, and thank you for helping us rescue them all ❤️🐾 ... See MoreSee Less

💔 Nearly 200 days of waiting… 💔
Ellie and Sky came to us after their owner passed away, and they’re still waiting for a place to call home.
✨ Ellie is a shy black-and-white Manx who just needs a quiet, patient home to feel safe again.
✨ Sky is her sister — a big love bug who adores attention and has truly come out of her shell.
A generous guardian angel has fully covered their adoption fees — now all they need is a warm, loving home to spend their golden years.
While they arrived together, we do not believe they’re bonded and feel they could do well separately. These senior girls deserve comfort, love, and a soft place to land.
Please help us find Ellie and Sky their happy endings. 🐾❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
