Volunteering for special events is one of the best ways you can support your local humane society! We host several fundrasing events per year, and our volunteers make it all possible. Event Volunteering HSoP holds several annual fundraising events, many of which require volunteers to ensure the event is running smoothly. Event Volunteering is a great opportunity for clubs, community, business and philanthropic groups to support an organization with a great cause. Soup and Pie Held every February, Soup and Pie is a social luncheon where HSoP supporters can enjoy a bowl of soup and a slice of pie. Volunteers at our soup and pie event are responsible for selling tickets at the door, admitting those with tickets purchased online, serving soup to attendees, and slicing up delicious pie for all of those who came to support our animals. Volunteers are also extremely helpful for the setup and teardown of event materials (tables, chairs, decorations, food, etc.). Paw-Louse 5K Fun Run & Walk Paw-Louse Fun run is a fun outing for all family members (including the furry ones) that starts and ends at the corner of Rail Road and Sweet Ave. Volunteers make this event possible by handing out water and snacks, distributing T-shirts, setting up the 5k route, and helping to keep our participants (people and dogs alike!) on track. Howling at Hamilton The Sunday after Labor Day, at the Hamilton Lowe Aquatic Center, it’s the dogs’ day at the pool. With dog dock diving contest. Volunteers have a great time at this event! Some volunteers collect entrance fees at the gate, while others sell toys and treats to those who attend. A few lucky volunteers will even get to help judge the pool jumping contest! Pet Pictures with Santa Each December, patrons and their pets spread the holiday cheer while posing with Santa. Our volunteers help bring Christmas joy by setting up the photo station, cleaning up after the fact, and keeping our photogenic furry friends entertained. Volunteers also help us to collect the funds from this event. Are you interested in being an event volunteer for HSoP? We would love to have you on our team! Feel free to call us at (208)883-1166 or email Sierah, our Shelter Director at director@humanesocietyofthepalouse.org . Thank you for thinking of our animals!

Santa is coming to town early this year just for the four-legged friends! Bring your friendly pets to visit Santa on December 5th and December 6th to get your holiday photos taken. Santa loves meeting all of the pets, so don't hesitate to bring your pocket pets, feathered friends, and reptiles. For just $15 you will receive two digital photos of your pet(s) and Santa Paws. We hope to see you there! Thank you to Latah Credit Union for sponsoring the credit card fees during this event, which means all proceeds from the event benefit the Humane Society of the Palouse!

Learn about the services we offer to residents of Moscow and Latah County. This covers animal intake, owner surrenders, stray pets, bite quarantine holds, and City of Moscow dog licenses. Microchipping When a stray pet comes to HSoP, the first thing we do is scan them for a microchip. If they have one, this will tell us exactly how to get in contact with the owners. Microchips are placed under the pet's skin and are about the size of a grain of rice. Microchipping Engraved Pet ID Tags If your pet were to wander off and get lost, the first thing their finder would look for is an ID tag. ID tags provide contact information for pet owners, which can greatly speed up the process of getting a lost pet home. HSoP has an IMARC pet ID tag engraver that we offer as a service for local pet owners. Customized tags cost $12.00, and there are plenty of styles to choose from.

No. We keep track of named donations made to the shelter ( though donations made anonymously cannot be tracked and tallied ), and will have benefits ready for pickup once a donor reaches the threshold of being a Caring Companion, Shelter Sidekick, Humane Hero*, or Loyal Lifesaver*. *To receive an invitation to the January 2025 donor dinner, the Humane Hero or Loyal Lifesaver threshold must be met no later than October 1st to provide sufficient time for planning. **If you donate through a third-party like Facebook, PayPal Giving Fund, add-on donations at check-out, etc, please provide confirmation of your donation via screenshots or a confirmation email so we can count your donation toward your yearly total. We do not receive full donor details from third parties like this, and are unable to track these donations without hearing from our donors directly. How do I receive my benefits/goodies? All Heroes of HSoP benefits will be prepared and ready for pickup at HSoP, located at 2019 E White Ave Moscow, ID, after donors reach the Caring Companion threshold.

Learn about our foster program. Foster families are the bridge between an animal shelter and a pet's new home! Fosters allow us to care for even more animals in need, and offer so much love along the way. Foster Program Fostering allows us to help even more pets in need than we're able to accommodate at the shelter. Fostering is a temporary and extremely rewarding experience. You can help little babies grow, help sick and injured pets grow stronger, and share plenty of love along the way to help our pets prepare for their adoptive forever homes. Fostering is an amazing way to open your heart and home to a pet in need, without the lifelong commitment that follows adoption. If you're interested in fostering with HSoP, we would love to hear from you! Please take some time to complete our foster application down below, and we will contact you when the need for a foster arises. Prefer paper and pen? Feel free to print a physical application and bring it to the shelter at your convenience: Have questions about the foster program? Please email us at foster@humanesocietyofthepalouse.org .

Learn all there is to know about adopting a companion animal from our shelter. Get your questions answered here. We Don’t Sell Pets; We Adopt Them into Responsible and Loving Homes. We're dedicated to finding lasting forever homes for the unclaimed and homeless p ets in our care. We want each of these animals’ adoptive homes to be safe, loving, and permanent! We also strive to find the best match for our adopters. Assuring a good fit between an animal and their new family is our number one priority. We want both the animals and their new families to be safe and happy. Our adoption policies reflect this commitment. Thank you for considering pet adoption! HSoP finds forever homes for hundreds of homeless animals in our community each year. Every animal deserves to know love, stability, comfort, and family. Equally, you deserve to know the joy and unconditional love that comes with a rescued dog, cat, or critter. We strive to learn as much as we can about each animal under our care. HSoP staff and volunteers focus on learning as much as they can about each pet by observing their behaviors, habits, training, history, temperament, and personality. Our staff offer adoption counseling for potential adopters, along with follow-up behavior counseling as needed following adoption. Each adoption begins with a seven day “foster period” and health guarantee. This foster period allows time for the adopted pet to settle in and become acquainted with their new family, while giving the family time to observe the pet and raise any concerns to shelter staff. Our adoption fees are far less than the total cost of preventative care that each pet adopted from HSoP receives prior to their adoption. Take a look below for more information about the preventative care provided to each pet who finds a home through HSoP: Before being adopted, all pets receive this veterinary/preventative care: • Preliminary vaccinations ( DAPPVL & Bordetella (Kennel Cough) for dogs, FVRCP for cats) • Spaying or neutering • Treatment for parasites • Microchip identification • 1-year rabies vaccination (for cats and dogs over 5 months old) Adoptable pets Adoption Applications Feline adoption fee includes: Spay or Neuter FVRCP vaccination(s) Rabies vaccination (if old enough to receive at time of adoption) De-worming Microchip Identification 7- day foster period (a full week to make sure it's a purrrfect fit!) 7-day health guarantee Canine adoption fee includes: Spay or Neuter DAPPVL vaccination(s) Bordetella vaccination Rabies Vaccination (if ol d enough to receive at time of adoption) De-worming Microchip Identification 7- day foster period (a full week to make sure it's a purrrfect fit!) 7-day health guarantee

Engraved Pet ID Tags What is the first line of defense when a beloved pet goes missing? After finding a lost cat or dog, most people will immediately look to see if there is an ID tag on the pet's collar. Usually, these ID tags contain the pet's name and their owner's phone number. This makes it easy for the person who found the missing pet to contact the owner directly. Pet ID tags can help lost pets avoid spending the night in our facility by allowing them to be reunited in no time. At HSoP, we know that pet ID tags are extremely important. In January of 2022, we were gifted an IMARC pet tag engraving system to keep at our facility. This generous gift has given us the ability to offer customized pet ID tags as a service for pet owners throughout our region. Custom pet ID tags at HSoP cost $12.00 each and take about 3 minutes to make. This price includes the tag itself, the engraved text, and a key ring to connect the tag to your pet's collar. Our hope is that this service will encourage local pet owners to give their companions some easy-to-read identification. We want lost and escaped pets to come home ASAP, and these tags help immensely in that process!
