Foster Homes Needed!
Do you have room in your heart and home for a foster dog? Our shelter needs temporary homes for dogs due to medical circumstances or sometimes just because a dog needs a break from the shelter environment. This also helps to evaluate their personality better, which ensures better placement in the right forever home. If you are interested, please submit a volunteer application.



Volunteer Spotlight



Gil and Sharon Tyner have been volunteering at the Meridian Valley Humane Society
for 5 years. They have a great love of animals and wanted a chance to give back to the community after retirement so that love brought them to the shelter! They’re wonderful helpers, including walking dogs a couple times a week, helping out with adoptions, and even transporting them to the vet as needed. At home, they have two adorable shelties, Cassie and Smokie, to keep them company. Meridian Valley Humane Society is so thankful to have such a great pair of volunteers!


Our shelter relies on volunteers.
What is more rewarding than making a difference in an animal's life? You can volunteer in so many ways - from answering phones at your home, to fostering dogs that need that extra TLC. Some of our volunteers only have a few hours once a week to dedicate and others help out by transporting our dogs to the vet to be spayed or neutered. We appreciate all that they do. It's a great way to make friends who love dogs and feel good about helping out. If you are interested please let us know!




To volunteer at the Meridian Animal Shelter, you must be at least 18 years old and have a valid Idaho driver’s license.

PLEASE SPAY & NEUTER
In the time it takes to read this paragraph, a wonderful, adoptable dog (or cat) will be euthanized (killed) in a shelter somewhere in the United States because there are too many animals and not enough good homes. Please help control the pet population and have your pets spayed or neutered.
