Pocatello Animal Shelter
Building Better Futures for Pets and People
Pocatello Animal Services is dedicated to coordinating compassionate animal care and control activities throughout our community. We believe every animal deserves a safe, nurturing environment and a place to call home.
Our Commitment to the Community
Located in the heart of Upper Ross Park, our shelter serves as a vital resource for the city of Pocatello. We strive to improve the lives of local animals by maintaining excellent care standards and fostering positive, lasting relationships between our furry residents and the citizens who love them.
How We Care for Our Animals
Our organization utilizes a professional shelter facility and a robust foster care network to provide for animals in transition. Whether an animal is recovering from surgery, awaiting a forever home, or simply needs a bit more socialization, our team—supported by a dedicated foster community—ensures they receive the food, medical care, and affection they deserve.
Your Role in a New Beginning
Adoption is a lifetime family commitment, and we are here to help you find the perfect match for your household. Because we care deeply about the success of every adoption, we provide comprehensive resources, including a two-week trial period and guidance on pet behavior, to ensure your new companion thrives in their new home.
