Since 1977

Lemhi County Humane Society owns & operates the Salmon Animal Shelter and Rags & Wags Thrift Store.

SAS provides high-quality sheltering services for the homeless pets of Lemhi County.

We also provide funds for public spay and neuter programs in an attempt to decrease the number of dogs and cats entering our shelter. We serve as a line of defense against animal abuse & neglect, working closely with law enforcement officials, to ensure that all animals in Lemhi County are treated in a kind and humane manner.

Humane Society Hours:

11:00am – 5:00 pm every day of the week

Rags & Wags Thrift Store Hours:

8:00am – 4:00pm M-F

🌟 Adoption Update & Gentle Reminder 🌟

This week started with so much joy as several of our long-time feline residents found their forever homes. 💛 But weve also seen a few of those adoptions sadly turn into returns — with some cats labeled as feral.

We want to gently remind our wonderful community about the 3-3-3 rule for adopted animals:

🐾 3 Days to decompress
🐾 3 Weeks to learn your routine
🐾 3 Months to feel at home

Many of our cats have spent over 200 days in our care — building trust, learning routines, and feeling safe here. Being adopted is a big, exciting change, but its also a major adjustment. Imagine being suddenly placed in a brand-new environment with unfamiliar sights, sounds, and people. It can be overwhelming.

A shy or scared cat isn’t feral — they’re just trying to understand their new world. Please don’t chase, force cuddles, or assume affection needs to happen instantly. Let them come to you on their own terms — trust takes time.

💬 If youre feeling unsure during the adjustment period, our team is here to support you! We want every adoption to be a successful, happy experience — for both humans and animals.

Thank you for your patience, compassion, and willingness to learn. Together, we can help these deserving cats finally feel at home. 🐱💕
