(City of Pocatello Press Release, June 25, 2026)
Pocatello Animal Services is at capacity with dogs and is asking for the community’s help to open kennels by choosing adoption.
Thanks to a generous donation from Ms. Rose Stevens, the shelter is offering half-off dog adoptions for the next 20 dogs adopted. The special begins Friday, June 26 at 10 a.m. and will continue until all 20 discounted adoptions have been claimed.
During the promotion, dog adoption fees are reduced from $130 to just $65. This discount applies only to dog adoptions and cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Every dog adopted from Pocatello Animal Services goes home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, and also includes a free City of Pocatello dog license.
“We’re grateful to Ms. Stevens for making this adoption special possible,” said Pocatello Animal Services Management Assistant Sarah Moore. “Our kennels are full, and every adoption creates space for another dog in need while giving a deserving pet the chance to find a loving home.”
Pocatello Animal Services is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
