Every animal who comes through our doors has a story — and while some begin with loss, we believe they can still have beautiful new chapters. 🐾
Boo Bear recently joined us at the Lemhi County Humane Society after his beloved owner passed away. Through no fault of his own, he found himself starting over. Situations like this are never easy. They’re emotional for families, and they’re confusing for the pets who suddenly lose the person they love most.
But here’s the hopeful part: they are not alone. We are here to wrap them in care, patience, and compassion while we help them find their next forever home. Watching them slowly adjust, trust again, and wag their tails is why we do this work.
Boo Bear’s story is also a gentle reminder to cherish the time we have with our pets — and to have a plan in place for them. If something unexpected happens, do you know where your animals would go? Having that conversation now is an act of love that protects them no matter what the future holds.
We can’t promise tomorrow, but we can promise this: we will continue to be here for dogs like Boo Bear, helping them heal and guiding them toward new families ready to love them just as much. 🖤 ... See MoreSee Less

Every Wednesday in March The Nook will feature a pasta special and for every pasta entrée sold, a portion of proceeds will benefit Lemhi County Humane Society. These funds help provide food, medical care, and safe shelter for local cats and dogs.
Mark your calendar, invite a friend, and come eat pasta for a paws-itive cause.

Our volunteer Kurt and our kennel tech Ian teamed up to do a photo shoot to highlight our great black cats available for adoption, especially since we have a Name Your Price adoption event coming up! 🖤📸
Ian says we have a variety of calm nappers to playful chaos! No matter what kind of personality you’re looking for, we’ve got a dark cutie ready to match your vibe.
We would LOVE to see these sweet black kitties find a forever home. Come meet them, fall in love, and take advantage of our upcoming event! 🐾🖤 #AdoptDontShop #BlackCats #NameYourPrice ... See MoreSee Less
