THANK YOU to everyone who attended our groundbreaking ceremony today and helped us kick off construction of our new animal care center on Overland Road, which is scheduled to open in fall 2018 and will include an adoption center, veterinary medical center and humane education center. You can learn more at designedtobekind.org.

We're gearing up for our groundbreaking ceremony to kick off construction of our future facility! Join us at 8506 W. Overland Road tomorrow at 11!

Happy #FourthofJuly! Please keep your pets safely inside tonight.

The Foster Fair is under way! Our amazing volunteers (and some adorable puppies and kittens) will be out at the shelter, 4775 Dorman St., until 4 and are ready to answer any questions about fostering animals for IHS.

This #FosterFriday, we want to remind you that our Foster Fair is coming up tomorrow! Stop by the shelter, 4775 Dorman St., any time between 1 to 4 p.m. IHS foster families and staff will be on hand to show you the various ways you can help shelter animals – from feeding bottle babies or socializing kittens to caring for dogs recovering from orthopedic injuries or even just taking a shelter pup out for an off-site adventure! If you've ever been interested in becoming a foster parent, this is a great opportunity to ask questions.

Our shelter puppies have been out this afternoon spreading awareness about #IdahoGives! A donation today at idahohumanesociety.org/organizations/idaho-humane-society can help IHS win prizes and additional funds to help shelter animals!

We're downtown with our puppy kissing booth for #IdahoGives! Stop by The Mode Lounge until 2 or Mixed Greens from 2 to 3:30!
