This fund is used to subsidize the cost of all adoption fees at the Pocatello Animal Shelter, reducing or even covering the entire adoption fee.  The lower adoption fees helps the shelter:

​

• Quickly find homes for animals

• Find homes faster for hard-to-place pets like seniors, pets with special needs, etc.

• Increase adoption rates

• Attract new adopters and allow previous adopters to add to their family at a lower cost

 

The fund is used on a consistent basis during Adopt A Shelter Cat Month (every June) and during Kitten Season which can start in February and last through mid-October.
