🐾 HOW has Nezzer not been adopted yet?! 🐾
Seriously… we don’t understand it. Nezzer is one of those dogs who makes you wonder how someone hasn’t already scooped him up and taken him home. ❤️
At just over 7 years old, Nezzer is a Border Collie/Cow Dog mix and truly one of the sweetest, most loyal pups you could ask for. He’s friendly, well-trained, fully housebroken, and has the perfect mix of grown-up manners and “LET’S GO DO SOMETHING!” energy.
🎾 And if that something involves a ball? Even better. Nezzer is absolutely ball obsessed and would probably play fetch until your arm fell off… and then politely ask you to use the other one. 😂
He LOVES his people and is the kind of dog who wants to be right there beside you, whether you’re heading out for a hike, working around the property, tossing his favorite ball, or just spending the day together. He’s smart, driven, eager to have a job, and incredibly devoted to the people he trusts.
Nezzer can do well with other dogs and cats, especially calmer, easygoing companions, with slow and thoughtful introductions.
We genuinely don’t know why this boy is still waiting. He has so much love and loyalty to give, and he deserves to finally have someone who looks at him and says, “You’re coming home with me.” 🥹❤️
Come meet Nezzer and see for yourself why we love this sweet boy so much. 🐾 ...

🐱💕 SO MANY SWEET CATS & KITTENS! 💕
We’ve had so many feline friends become available for adoption this past week that we can barely keep up! Getting photos is tough when everyone would rather make biscuits, crawl into your arms, and soak up the love.
We’re currently caring for a little over 50 cats and kittens, and they’re ready to find their forever homes! Adopt two or more and ask us about our multiple-cat adoption discounts!
Check our site out to see all the cute faces and fill out an adoption application: www.lemhicountyhumanesociety.org/adoptable-pets/
🧺 We’re also STILL looking for a usable washing machine! These cute faces make a LOT of laundry. Have one you’d like to donate? Call us at 208-756-4100!
And keep your eyes peeled for upcoming adoption events — plus the Barn Cat Boogie on September 10th at Sweet Water Hollow from 5:30–9pm! ...

🐶 Happy National Dog Day! 🐶
Today is all about celebrating the dogs who make our lives better, sillier, messier, and a whole lot happier!
We want to see them all — share your dogs, our shelter alumni, or even the furry friend you found somewhere else in the comments! We don't care where they came from… we just love seeing happy dogs in happy homes. ❤️
Bonus points for sharing a photo of your LCHS alum so we can see how they're doing! We LOVE getting to watch our former shelter pups live their best lives.
And whether they came from us, a friend, a rescue, or somehow just showed up on your doorstep — please make sure your furry family members are spayed or neutered. It makes a huge difference for animals everywhere.
Now flood the comments with those dog faces! 🐾 ...

🚨 HELP! These kittens have something to say… and apparently, it’s LOUD! 😂🐱
All these adorable faces come with one tiny problem: A LOT OF LAUNDRY. Our washing machine is officially on its last leg, and our shelter is desperately in need of a working washing machine!
Before we purchase a new one, we’re hoping someone may have an older, working machine sitting around that they no longer need. If you have one you’d be willing to donate to Lemhi County Humane Society, please reach out at 208-756-4100!
Our cats and kittens could also use some pâté-style wet food! Wet food is more of a special treat and enrichment for our cats, so we aren’t picky about the specific brand or variety. If it’s pâté, they’ll probably be very happy to help us put it to good use!
If you’d like to donate dry food, please know that we use specific foods for our cats, dogs, and kittens. Since dry food is part of their everyday diet, we stick with the foods that work best for them and helps them avoid unnecessary GI issues.
We’ve included photos of some of our very vocal little laundry producers so you can see exactly who you’re helping! 😹
Amazon Wishlist: a.co/0atrk5PQ
Can’t donate supplies right now? Please share this post! You never know who might have a washing machine sitting in the garage or a few cans of pâté they’d love to donate.
And stay tuned… we have some FUNdraising events and adoption events coming up that you won’t want to miss!
Thank you for helping us help them. ...
