Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. The Teton Valley Humane Society is Idaho's first and largest "no kill" facility. "No kill" means that animals are not euthanized except when they are diagnosed with a fatal disease or if they are non-rehabilitatable.

Our mission is to promote humane treatment of all animals, provide shelter for homeless and abused animals, and to ensure our animals are placed in permanent loving homes.

Since our doors opened in January of 1998 the shelter has cared for over 4,791 animals. Of those, 3,229 were successful adoptions and 826 were returned to their owners.

Today, the Teton Valley Humane Society is working hard to keep animals in Teton County spayed/neutered. Since our spay/neuter clinic opened in 2002 we have altered over 3,200 animals. With your donations the Teton Valley Humane Society will be able to continue to meet the following goals:

In the time it takes you to read this paragraph a wonderful cat or dog will be euthanized in a shelter somewhere in the United States. Why? Because there are too many animals and not enough good homes. Please do the right thing and spay and neuter your pets.

The Teton Valley Humane Society, PAWS, and the Jackson Animal Shelter are working hard to control the number of unwanted pets in Teton County. With the help of caring and compassionate people of this community, we will soon make this dream and these goals a reality. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for showing your support!

Sincerely,
Michelle O'Neal
Executive Director
