ADOPTION POLICY: What Makes Us Different? We are different from other shelters because we bring the dog/s, you are interested in, to your house for a meet and greet. It can be a more accurate picture of the environment with your family and pets who are all involved. We find that this helps with a more successful adoption. This does limit us to a 50 mile radius from St. Anthony, but exceptions can be made in special circumstances. Thank you for your understanding.
Rowdy
Rowdy is a fun-loving German Shepard/Lab mix. He is about four years old. He is up to date on all his shots, microchipped and neutered.
He loves to play and is very dog AND people social. He would love to have another dog to play with. He is smart, knows sit, down, crawl, stay, kennel, come. He rides well in a car, does well on leash and is house trained. Rowdy would do well on a farm (or a large, fenced yard) doing a job, or a good hiking or camping partner. Rowdy would make a great family dog. He would enjoy all the company and playtime.
Meet and greets are always required. Please call for an appointment to see Rowdy for yourself. Adoption fee $150.00.

Bacon
Bacon is a six year old Shepard mix. He is neutered and current on his vaccines.
Bacon came to LOM from another shelter and has blossomed. He is dog and people social. I don't recommend him with cats. He is easy going. He is learning sit, stay, down, come, kennel, leave it, and wait. He loves walks and playing ball. Duh, he's a dog (lol). He walks well on leash, does well in the car and is house trained. I think Bacon would do very well with respectful kids. He is smart and ready to learn and enjoy your day with you.
Meet and greet are always required. Call for an appointment to visit Bacon. Adoption Price $130.00.

Coconut
Coconut is a four year old Australian Shepard mix. She has been spayed and is current on all her shots.
We have taken her to the Saturday Market in Idaho Falls and had no issues with her meeting children and strangers. She does show a preference to one person and can be an attention hog. She has been to the dog park but doesn't like other dogs who are so excited to meet her that they don't respect her space. At the rescue she has met other dogs including puppies and has been just fine. Do not have any idea how she would be with cats.
Coconut is house trained, crate trained, does well in cars and good on leash. Coconut is ok with respectful kids. She is very smart, has good energy for training is ready for a job.
If you are interested in Coconut, call (503)551-4807 for an appointment. Meet and greets are required. Adoption Fee: $175.00

Dottie
Meet my sweet Dottie. She is an nine year old Hound. She is spayed and vaccinated.
Dottie is ready for a loving, forever home. She is an older gal who loves to be with you while you do your chores, sit on the porch or watch tv. She is hard of hearing but still loves going for slow walks where she can sniff and explore what her nose finds. She is dog social but does not like cats or other small animals. Though not a puppy, she is friendly, happy, sweet and past puppy chewing and house training.
Meet and greets are always required. Call to visit Dottie. Adoption Price is $100.00.

Kia
Don't forget about Kia. She has been here for over a year. Kia is spayed and current on vaccines.
Kia is a seven year old Staffy mix. She has settled and is happy and ready to meet friends. She is people social and dog social with proper meet and greets. She likes playing with Bacon and Rowdy here at the rescue. She would not be good with cats or chickens. Even being the only dog in your family, she would love all the extra attention and will not let you down in the snuggle department. She loves walks, car rides, just hanging out and is house trained. Please give her a chance. She deserves it.

In remembrance of my brother robert N. swank
In loving memory of my brother Bob Swank, who passed away November 7th, 2021.
When I told him of my crazy idea of a dog rescue, he patted me on the leg and said, "They are God's creatures too". People had scoffed at my dream but not my brother. He was always there to add an encouraging word and kept the spark that was in my heart to follow through with this idea, this goofy idea.
Through texts and phone calls, I kept him updated on the progress of my "barn". Nothing but encouraging words came back on my phone. I wanted him to come up to see it but that never happened. That made me very sad because he would never see the completed "barn". Walking to the "barn" for another day, I realized that he sees it from Heaven. He is still there to give me support and I can even hear his goofy jokes and laughter at all of our mishaps.
I miss him so very much and think of him every day!
I love you Bob
