Lewis Clark Animal Shelter
Our Mission
At the Lewis Clark Animal Shelter, we believe that compassion has the power to change lives. Our mission is to provide shelter, healthcare, and neglect or abuse intervention for stray and abandoned pets, while working to end pet over-population through education and spay/neuter services.
Serving Our Community Since 1950
For decades, we have proudly served the Lewis Clark Valley by providing essential services for both animals and our neighbors. As an independent, nonprofit organization, we are committed to being a reliable resource for animal welfare, health, and education throughout the region.
How We Provide Care
We operate a full-service shelter dedicated to providing every animal with a safe, comfortable environment. Our team provides medical care, rehabilitation, and behavioral training, ensuring that every pet receives the support they need while they wait for their forever family. We rely on the dedication of our staff and volunteers to ensure each animal is treated with the care and respect they deserve.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adopting a homeless pet is a beautiful act of kindness that transforms lives. We are dedicated to matching you with a companion who fits your unique lifestyle, creating a joyful, lifelong partnership. Whether you are looking for an energetic dog or a cozy cat, our team is here to guide you through the process of welcoming a new member into your home.
Join Our Mission
Your support makes our lifesaving work possible, whether through adoption, volunteering, or donations. We invite you to visit us at our facility in Lewiston to meet our current residents or explore our adoptable animals online. Together, we can create brighter, happier futures for pets and the people who love them.

9/22 - ✨️Wisteria and her son, Forrest, have been at the shelter for the past month and a half. They were brought in after being abandoned in Lapwai to fend for themselves. Wisteria has shown to be a calm, gentle dog that does well with other dogs. She has also shown to be house trained. 🐾Forrest is still a puppy and would do best with another dog in the house to show him how to be the best version of himself. Forrest is still a young puppy at 6 months old, so he still needs training like any other young dog. They are starting to understand toys and watching them learn how to be dogs is so rewarding! 🐕Both are fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Come meet these dogs and give them a chance!
