Have you found a tiny kitten? Look no further! Visit this page for helpful information on what to do now. Found Tiny Kitten(s) Neonatal Kittens (1-day to 5-weeks old) best chance at survival is with their mom. If you find a kitten or litter of kittens under 6 weeks of age, watch from afar to see if mom comes back. Chances are mom is off hunting for food. Do not move or relocate the kittens until you know if there is a mom. If mom comes back, see if she is friendly. Will she let you pet her or feed her? If so, attempt to gather mom and babies into carriers. Call HSoP, so we can get them all in safely! If mom is not friendly, the best option is to wait until kittens are roughly eight weeks old. Kittens can be brought to HSoP to help socialize them and get them ready for adoption. Mom should be Trapped, fixed, and released. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot accept feral cats. We do offer a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program specifically for feral cats. This program provides the cage to trap feral cats, and HSoP will pay the full amount to have these cats vaccinated and sterilized to prevent more unwanted litters in the future. If you need help feeding mom or kittens, please call us to get some assistance with pet food. Visit our Food Pantry page for more information. If mom does not come back after five hours, it is safe to assume she is not coming back. Gather the kittens in a carrier or box, and give them a heating pad (always wrap the heating pad in a towel or blanket to avoid burning their delicate skin). Call HSoP immediately, and bring them to us as soon as possible. HSoP is always looking for new foster families. If you are interested in fostering the litter of kittens you found, or any kittens we have, check out our Foster page for more information!

Junior volunteering is offered 2:00-5:00pm Monday through Friday. Junior volunteers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during their first shift, and can come in for one unsupervised hour at a time following that. Junior volunteers cannot enter our dog kennels or interact with our dogs without having a parent or guardian present. Be sure to visit our volunteer page to learn more about junior volunteering! When is HSoP open for volunteers? HSoP is open for volunteers Monday through Friday from 2:00 PM through 5:00 PM. To volunteer, call us ahead of time at (208) 883-1166 to get on our volunteer schedule. What kinds of things can I do as a volunteer? Lots of different things! Our volunteers help in a multitude of ways, here are a few examples: - Spend time playing with our dogs outside - Exercise our cats by playing in the adoption room - Help HSoP staff with laundry and other cleaning duties - Make special treats that provide enrichment for our pets - Spend time brushing out both cats and dogs - Take cute pictures of our pets to help them gain attention online - Give some attention to our friends in the small animal room Volunteers can also help us with special events like fundraisers and shelter clean-up days! What should I wear when I volunteer? Wear long pants and flat, closed-toe, waterproof shoes. Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! Will I receive any training before volunteering? During your first volunteer shift, a HSoP staff member will give you a short orientation. They will walk you through our facility and explain how you can stay safe while you are volunteering and how you can help keep the animals safe as well. The staff member will show you our volunteer board that has different tasks you can sign up for helping HSoP with. When can I start Volunteering? In order to volunteer with the Humane Society of the Palouse, you must complete the required volunteer form and arrange a time to come in for your first shift. Please call HSoP at 208-883-1166 to get on our volunteer schedule. I have a group that wants to come help HSoP. When can we come? All of us here at HSoP are grateful for all the interest in group volunteering. However, we do not have the space in our tiny facility to accommodate groups larger than 3 at one time. If you are interested your group helping HSoP, we have a list of group volunteering ideas and DIY volunteering ideas listed on our volunteer page. You can also email us at information@humanesocietyofthepalouse.org with any group volunteering ideas. Why can't HSoP take in large groups of volunteers? During our regular hours of operation, having such a small facility, there simply isn’t enough space for large groups of volunteers and potential adopters. We are very grateful for the interest in having groups come in helping the homeless animals. However, allowing enough space for potential adopters to come in during our hours of operation is what is needed in order to find homeless animals their forever homes. I have court mandated community service. Can I do my hours with HSoP? Yes. HSoP can take in volunteers needing to complete disciplinary community service Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM. You must schedule in advance by calling us at (208) 883-1166. For more information, visit the Court Mandated Community Service section on our volunteer page. I have completed volunteer training at a different Humane Society. Can I skip HSoP volunteer training? That’s great—thank you for your previous service—however, each humane society, animal control facility, or rescue group is an independent agency, so very few of us are connected locally (as in some states) or to any organization on a national level. Therefore, our policies and procedures might be completely different from the facility where you previously volunteered. Most shelters adhere to a “Standards of Best Practices/Care” so there are certainly some similarities; however, we need you to be familiar with our shelter and our policies/procedures. This includes training for dog walking. I am an avid runner. Can I take HSoP dogs on a run with me? As with people, dogs need to slowly build up muscle strength and endurance in order to avoid potential injury when running or jogging. The dogs HSoP has up for adoption have not had the training needed to prevent injury or to build the endurance to sustain them on runs. To avoid injury, we do not allow running or jogging without first being conditioned to do so. I want to volunteer by making blankets for your pets. What size should the blankets be? Our pets would absolutely love some snuggly homemade blankets! We can typically use any size blanket for our pets, but some dimensions do work better for our cat kennels and dog beds. For blankets that fit each of our cat kennels, we would recommend the size to be about 20"x 24". For blankets that fit the beds in each of our dog kennels, we would recommend the size to be about 24"x 36". I can't give my time right now, but I would still like to help HSoP. There are many ways to support our work! Make a financial contribution. Visit our Donate page for options. Make an in-kind donation. With just a few simple clicks, you can send much needed supplies to our shelter through our Amazon Wish List, our Kitten Supplies Amazon Wish List or our Wish List for donations that may be dropped off at the shelter during open business hours.

Learn about our feeding assitance program. We offer a pet food pantry for owners who may be struggling to feed their animals, learn more here. HSoP Pet Food & Supply Pantry We understand that times can be tough. When you're in a difficult situation, the last thing you want to worry about is being able to afford food for your beloved pets. Our Pet Food and Supply Pantry is here to help! Funded entirely by donations from the community, this resource keeps pets and their people together by providing a variety of pet food at no cost to the owner. Pet food is only available as donations allow, and we cannot guarantee having available food, or a specific type of food, at any given time. We ask that only those who are truly in need of assistance make use of the pet pantry. If you're in need of assistance, please visit the shelter between 1:00-6:00pm Monday through Saturday. We're located at 2019 E White Ave Moscow, Idaho. You an also call us at (208) 883-1166 to see if we have available food before making the trip over. This resource is available for all Latah County pet owners .

If you're in need of specific pet supplies, please let us know and we will do our best to help. Thank you ICCU! Did you buy your pet a new type of food, but they wouldn't eat it? Did you switch your pet's diet, and still have some of the old food left over? Please consider donating unwanted pet food to HSoP, so we can provide it to a pet in need. We accept both open and unopened bags of food, and the expiration date must be visible. The HSoP Pet Food and Supply Pantry operates entirely on donations from our community.

Learn what life looks like after adopting your new pet. The transition can be difficult at times. Visit this page for helpful tips! After Adoption 7-Day Health Guarantee and Foster Period We provide a 7-day health guarantee for each pet adopted from our facility. Within the first 7 days of adoption, if you discover a medical condition that existed prior to adoption, we’ll work with our vet partner, Animal Clinic and Hospital , to provide medical attention at no charge to you. During the first seven days, all medical decisions must be approved by HSoP. If you notice a non-emergent medical concern during your 7-day foster period, please contact HSoP before seeking vet care so we can arrange with Animal Clinic. The first 7 days are a trial period, we call it a foster period. This gives you time to decide for certain whether the adoption was a good fit for you and your family. We understand that 7 days is not very much time to get to know your new friend, or for your new pet to relax and feel completely comfortable. If you would like to have more time together before making a final decision, please contact HSoP. Any time after adoption, please feel free to contact HSoP for any counseling needs you may have with your new family member. We will always do our very best to help. How to help your new family member adjust during their transition from shelter to a home. When you bring your new dog or cat home from the shelter, it's a day for celebration. However, try to look at things from your new friends’ point of view before jumping into any festivities. He has left a busy, noisy environment and is traveling in a car with new people he does not know to a place he does not know. It is no surprise that he may be a little anxious or overwhelmed. Be patient. This is a huge change for your new pet! Even though all the humans involved know this is a positive change, remember to give your new friend the appropriate amount of time to learn this for themselves. Their last major life change was arriving at HSoP. It may take more time than anticipated to help your furry friend acclimate and understand that this unfamiliar place is now home. Sometimes, they can surprise us all and feel instantly at home! Take it slow. Focus on building a strong relationship and bond with your new pet before exciting them too much with outings like car rides, hikes, or dog park visits. Give them time to establish full trust in you before taking them to new environments or inviting large groups of people into your home. We understand that having a new addition to the family is very exciting! However, it's important that they have time to properly acclimate before being introduced to all of your family and friends. Contact HSoP If you need advice, guidance, or counseling after adoption, we would be happy to help in any way we can. Please contact us with any questions and/or concerns. Call us at 208-883-1166 Email us at information@humanesocietyofthepalouse.org Share your adoption Story! Thank you for adopting and giving one of our animals a second chance in life! Share your pets’ new beginning with us! We just love to hear how things are going for each of the companion animals adopted from HSoP. Your new family member had a profound impact on the lives of each of our staff members, and some shelter employees can even remember hundreds of HSoP alumni by heart! We each formed strong bonds with your pet during their stay with us, as we watched them change, grow, and in many cases, blossom into wonderful and loving companions. We are always so grateful to stay "in the loop" and hear how past shelter residents are doing. All of our staff eagerly look forward to post-adoption photos, updates, and videos. Please always feel free to share how your furry best friend is enjoying their new life! Email your story to information@humanesocietyofthepalouse.org Share them on our Facebook page.

Is your beloved pet missing from home? This page has resources that may be able to help you find them. Start with combing your area and talking to neighbors, then check Petco Love Lost and local lost/found pet groups on social media. My Pet is Missing A lost pet can be a frightening experience for any pet owner. Immediate action is crucial, but where do you start? Follow the steps below for the best chance of a reunion with your beloved pet. For a summary of resources, please view our Lost Pet Resources Sheet . What to do immediately after your pet goes missing: Walk the neighborhood. Take a walk around the immediate area and speak to any neighbors, postal service workers, landscapers, or anyone else who may have seen your lost pet. You know your pet best, so look in areas that your pet may have been interested in or comfortable hiding in. Most pets are found close to home. Share their scent. Put a couple of your pet's favorite items near the most common entry ways into your home. The front door and door into your yard would be the best locations. You can include items like their favorite bed, blankets, toys, their litterbox, and any other item they use frequently. Their familiar scent may help them find their way home. Next Steps to Take: 1. Search for your lost dog or cat on Petco Love Lost. We have partnered with Petco Love Lost to easily help search the national lost and found database and create a searchable/sharable alert for your missing pet. You can upload a picture of your pet or search by location. Using facial recognition technology, Petco Love Lost helps match found animals to reported lost pets nationwide. Visit Petco Love Lost to search now! 2. Make posts about your pet on sites like Facebook, Craigslist, and Nextdoor. Social media is a powerful tool when it comes to reuniting lost pets with their owners. Make a post about your pet as soon as you're able to. Be sure to include a recent picture of your pet, along with a description and general area where they went missing. Here is a list of Facebook groups that we regularly suggest to owners who are missing a pet: - Moscow and Surrounding Area Lost/Found Pets - Lost and Found Pets of Moscow, Pullman, and Surrounding Areas - Zeus's Friends Lost and Found Pet Network - Lost and Found Pets of Troy, Deary, Bovill, and Surrounding Areas - Potlatch/Princeton Area Lost/Found Pets - Pullman Area Lost/Found Pets 3. Make sure your pet's microchip information is up to date. If a finder takes your pet to be scanned for a microchip, you want to make sure that all the information is correct, so you can be contacted immediately. 4. Check with your local animal shelters. Call to see if your missing pet has been brought in as a stray to any local shelters. At HSoP, we can create a lost report for your pet, so we know to contact you immediately if they are brought in. 5. Continue to spread the word about your missing pet. Create bright-colored posters with relevant information about your pet and the area they went missing. Distribute these posters in the area surrounding your residence and beyond (as a reminder, Moscow City Ordinance prohibits flyers from being hung on City Property like light poles and power poles. Always check with a business first before hanging your flyer ). At HSoP, we have a lost/found bulletin board specifically for pet owners to hang these types of posters. 6. Don't give up! Finding a lost pet can take time. Remember to regularly check websites that you have posted your lost pet on, and make updates as needed. The important thing is to keep the search effort going!

Get your adoption questions answered here. Adoption FAQ Why does HSoP check with landords? A majority of the dogs and cats surrendered to HSoP are surrendered due to the owners not being allowed to own pets where they live. Adopting an animal into rental that does not allow pets will only set that pet up for failure, with the potential for them to end up right back where they started. We strongly believe that pets should be adopted into welcoming environments, where they cannot risk eviction for themselves or their owner. These are some potential consequences of harboring a companion animal in a non-pet-friendly living environment: Fines In some cases, your landlord may fine you if you sneak a pet in without approval. Fines generally apply per pet. While some landlords may charge a set amount, others can attempt to charge you for every day the pet lives in your rental. In order for your landlord to charge you, details about any possible pet-related fines must be covered in your lease. If your landlord asks for an amount not detailed in the lease, you may be able to file a case in civil court to recoup your costs, but the court doesn't have the legal right to allow you to keep the pet. Pet removal If your lease has a no-pet clause and you get a pet, your landlord will have the legal right to ask you to remove the animal from the property. If you want to keep your pet, you’ll have to move. To move during your lease, you’ll have to break the lease and pay hefty penalties, sublet your rental, or work out an arrangement with your landlord to end the agreement early. Eviction Most landlords are willing to work with their tenants, even if they do break the lease. However, some landlords won’t. If you’re caught sneaking in a pet, your landlord may have the right to evict you. If you’re evicted, your landlord may sue you for the remainder of your lease payment. Recovering from an eviction may be difficult. Any future landlords can learn about your eviction history, and that may make it more difficult to rent again in the future. This can also be reflected on your credit score. Some landlords have a strict no-pet policy because they do not have insurance that covers pets, or other tenants in the apartment might be allergic to cats/dogs and sensitive to the animals living in a shared space. Always check with your landlord to see if you are allowed to have pets or check your lease agreement. How old do I need to be in order to adopt? All adopters must be over 18 years of age or have their legal guardian present. How old do I have to be to visit the shelter? Anyone is welcome to visit the shelter during our open hours! We do have some restrictions about who can see, interact with, and adopt our wonderful pets: - Adopters must be 18 years old or older. - Minors cannot interact with any of our adoptable pets without a parent or guardian present (unless they're working a junior volunteer shift). What do I do to adopt? Please visit the HSoP Adoption Process webpage to learn more about the steps involved in adopting your new best friend. Here is what the process generally looks like: - Find your furry friend at HSoP! - Complete a general screening application - Complete an adoption contract - Review your new pet's medical history - Pay the adoption fee - Take your furry best friend home with you! Why adopt from HSoP? We don’t sell pets; we adopt them into responsible and loving homes. We are dedicated to finding forever homes for the animals under our care, we want these animals’ adoptive homes to be safe, loving, and permanent! We also strive to find the best match for our adopters. Assuring a good match between an animal and the new family, is our number one priority. We want the animals and your family to be safe and happy. Our adoption policies reflect this commitment. Our support services, including adoption counseling and follow-up behavior counseling, are a major perk of adopting from us. Each adoption has a seven day “foster period” and health guarantee. Plus, our adoption fees are much less than the costs of the preventative care each animal receives prior to adoption. Preventative Care: Every Companion animal adopted from HSoP has already received the following and is included in the adoption fee. Dogs are $135.00 and Cats are $100.00. Providing these preventative measures on your own could costs upwards of $300.00! All HSoP adoptable pets are: - Spayed or neutered - Up to date on all yearly vaccines - Microchipped Does HSoP place adoptable animals on hold? With an approved application, HSoP can put animals on a 24 hour hold. However, HSoP does not put kittens or puppies under one year of age on hold. Animals must be adult animals in order to be placed on a temporary hold of 24 hours. Does HSoP do same day adoptions? Absolutely, adoptions can happen the same day you apply! It all depends on the pet you're applying for. There are times when this does not apply. For instance, if you are applying for an animal that is not spayed or neutered yet, you will have to wait to take your new friend home until after their surgery. Why can’t I take my new pet home today? I promise I will bring him/her back. It is the policy of Humane Society of the Palouse that all animals are to be spayed or neutered before they leave the shelter. We make sure your newly adopted pet is put on the next available surgery day to ensure you will be able to take your pet home as soon as possible. We want to do our part in controlling the pet population and this policy ensures that we do. As well as some of the funding HSoP recieves through grants stipulate that HSoP must have a manditory spay and neuter policy. What if the adoption isn't working out? Can I return my new pet? Happiness matters-for you and your new pet. Your adoption satisfaction is guaranteed. If you adopt a pet from HSoP and discover that you are not compatible, you may return the pet within the first 7 days and receive a refund of your adoption fee or an exchange for another pet that will meet your needs. You can always extend your foster period if you would like more time. Contact HSoP 208-883-1166 during your first 7 days if you would like an extension. We want to place the right pet in the right home and eliminate any perceived risk that might be associated with adopting. Our new policy will help ensure a good fit for both the adopter and the animal, improve customer satisfaction, and hopefully increase the number of adoptions. Ultimately, if people are happy with the pets they adopt, the pets are going to be happy too. After the 7 day foster period, you can still return your new pet, but you will need to make arrangements first. HSoP does not euthanize to make space, so you may need to be placed on our waitlist if you need to return outside of your foster period. If outside of your foster period, HSoP will not refund you adoption fee and depending on the length of time, you may be required to pay an owner surrender fee. Contact HSoP with any questions you may have 208-883-1166. Can I adopt a pet without getting them fixed? No, it is one of the policies of the Humane Society of the Palouse to spay or neuter every animal that is adopted. The surgery is included in the adoption price. We feel that as a shelter it is our responsibility to help curb animal overpopulation by spaying and neutering our adoptable animals and to promote responsible pet ownership. Am I ready to adopt? Adopting a pet is a lifelong commitment. Besides love, have you thought about the time, training, and financial responsibility involved with owning a pet? Are you aware of what the laws are regarding pet ownership? We take the adoption process very seriously. We strive to ensure that each pet finds the proper family and that each family finds a pet that will match their lifestyle. For an adoption to be successful, you must truly understand the level of care and commitment required for a successful adoption. Each animal is an individual. Each requires a different system of care, ranging from exercise to training to grooming needs. It is beneficial for you and your pet to do as much research as possible before selecting and taking your new companion home. We make an emotional commitment to each animal in our care. We have an obligation to ensure that the new relationship between your family and your new companion will thrive for a lifetime. Here are some points to ponder: Consider that this decision will last for many years. Adopting an animal, is making an 18-year commitment. Evaluate your schedule to see if you have the time to commit to a pet. All pets need basic care, exercise, playtime and love. We recommend that you allow at least 2 hours per day in your schedule for walks, exercise and other basic needs. Some pets may require more time. Evaluate your budget. Over the lifetime of a pet, the cost of ownership can be quite high. We advise adopters to budget at least $1,500 – $2,000 per year for expenses. Consider how you will handle special challenges that will come along. Housebreaking, furniture damage, and medical issues are all common in the lifespan of a pet. Be sure you have the time and money to tackle these issues. Research the pet rules of your living situation. If renting or in a condo/co-op, inquire about size, breed, age, training requirements and pet deposits. Get the policy in writing. If you own, check with your homeowners’ insurance or HOA to find out if they have breed restrictions. Evaluate your current lifestyle. If you’re about to move, enter college or take a new promotion requiring more hours on the job, you may want to wait until you’re more settled. List some of the challenges your living situation presents to be sure your new pet is a good match. For example: a barking terrier may not be a good choice for apartment living. Research pet care options for when you’re traveling. You’ll need to plan to take your new pet along or arrange for care through family and friends, or a boarding kennel or pet-sitting service. Identify how to pet-proof your home. We encourage adopters to keep their pets indoors. Companion animals live longer, have better health and are happier if they can be inside (even at night) with their families. Familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations and be an ambassador for responsible pet ownership. By following rabies, license, and leash laws, keeping ID tags on your pet, cleaning up after your pet, and practicing in responsible pet ownership, your actions will encourage others to do the same. What kind of pet is right for me? Check out this great article and learn what pet is right for you. Meet your Match Why do shelters and rescues ask adopters so many questions? Consider why pets are surrendered in the first place. Among the top five reasons that people give up their pets, three are common to both dogs and cats: landlord issues, moving, and the cost of pet care. For dogs, the other most common reasons include lack of time and inadequate facilities. For cats, it's allergies and having too many cats to care for. Many animals lose their homes because their owners weren't prepared to invest the necessary money and time to care for a pet. In other cases, families and pets are mismatched. Consider these all-too-common scenarios: A high-energy dog is adopted by a family that doesn't have time for extensive daily exercise A skittish kitten is chosen by rambunctious children whose parents aren't inclined to actively supervise their kids A bunny with a predictable fondness for chewing catches the eye of someone who has no interest in rabbit-proofing her home. To prevent such painful situations for both the pets and people involved, shelters and rescue groups carefully evaluate adopters in the hope of avoiding these mismatched relationships. Adoption FAQs

Any feline that is at HSoP, costs HSoP $5.00 per feline per day to provide food, water, litter, shelter and staff wages to attend to that feline. Any canine that is at HSoP, costs HSoP $10.00 per canine per day to provide food, water, shelter and staff wages to attend to that canine. Without charging owners boarding fees for the services provided by HSoP, HSoP would not be able to provide a safe place for stray animals to temporarily stay while the owners are reached. Why is there an intake fee? Anytime a kennel is in use, it limits the amount of animals HSoP can take in. Should an animal need to utilize a kennel, there is a fee associated with that use, and the staff wages to provide that kennel and properly sanitize between use. Medical care for stray owned animals: Should a owned stray arrive at HSoP in need of immediate veterinary care and an owner cannot be contacted, HSoP will use their vet partner to provide needed care to stabilize the stray animal. Owners will be required to pay any vet care costs associated with stabilization and pain management before their animal can be released back to their care. City of Moscow Fees *** An Impound is any stray animal brought into HSoP by a City of Moscow affiliate, for example, if brought in by a Moscow Police Officer or Animal Control Officer.*** These fees are to the city.
