We have numerous animals in our care who are looking for new guardians. We update this web page at least once every week, but the listing below changes quickly. Often there are additional animals available. For additional information and updated information, please contact us or come by our Saturday morning adoption displays.
Adoption Displays are held the IMHS office in Pine Junction. The office is in the back of the Log Building, just west of the Woodside Inn. Displays last from 10am to 4pm and allow interested parties to meet some of our foster animals and to arrange for adoption when appropriate. Click here to see a map to the IMHS Shelter.
Some of our animals are strays, some are transferred to us from Park County Animal Control and some are surrendered to IMHS by their owners for a variety of reasons. In many cases we have either no history or very limited history. We represent animals as accurately as we can, but some animals may have undetected health or behavior problems.
