Adopt a Friend for Life

Adoptable Dogs

Adopting a homeless pet is a beautiful act of kindness that transforms lives—both theirs and yours. By giving a pet the chance to thrive in a loving home, you’re opening the door to endless tail wags, purrs, and unconditional love. In return, they’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty, companionship, and their unique brand of “paw-sitive” affection.

P.A.W.S.: Paroling Animals With Skills

Did you know the Lewis Clark Animal Shelter partners with the Idaho Correctional Institution-Orofino (ICIO) for an incredible program called P.A.W.S.: Paroling Animals With Skills? This unique initiative gives shelter dogs the opportunity to attend an 8-week training program where they learn basic obedience and valuable skills. When browsing our adoptable dogs, look for the P.A.W.S. Graduate Program Status 🐾 on their photos—these pups are proud graduates of the P.A.W.S. program and are ready to impress their new families!
