Pocatello Animal Services hosting dog adoption event at Massacre Rocks

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) — People looking to add a new four-legged family member will have a chance to meet adoptable dogs this weekend during a special adoption event at Massacre Rocks State Park.

Pocatello Animal Services is partnering with Massacre Rocks State Park in American Falls to host the event Saturday, June 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Shelter staff and volunteers will be on hand to introduce visitors to adoptable dogs, answer questions and assist with adoptions.

Organizers say the outdoor setting gives potential adopters an opportunity to learn more about each dog's personality, energy level and compatibility with their family and lifestyle.

"We're excited to bring our adoptable dogs out into the community and help them connect with potential families," Pocatello Animal Services Management Assistant Sarah Moore said. "Whether you're actively looking to adopt or simply want to meet some wonderful dogs, we encourage everyone to stop by and say hello."

Adoptions may be completed on-site when a suitable match is found.

According to Pocatello Animal Services, all adopted dogs will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before joining their new families.

The event is free to attend.

More information about the shelter and adoptable animals is available through Pocatello Animal Services.
