The Idaho Humane Society is the largest and oldest animal welfare organization and veterinary charity in the state. We are a private 501(c)3 organization that relies on donations to provide programs and services that benefit animals in Idaho. Mission The mission of the Idaho Humane Society is to advocate for the welfare and responsible care of animals, protect them from neglect and cruelty, and promote humane education, awareness, and compassion. We believe that because domestic animals are a product of human intervention, we have a special obligation to them in regard to humane treatment and responsible stewardship. Vision The Idaho Humane Society will continue to grow and meet the demand to shelter, feed, provide medical attention to, and find adoptive homes for abandoned and abused animals in our community; to educate Idahoans about the proper care of their own pets; to prevent animal overpopulation; and to promote kindness to animals. We envision a humane Idaho in which healthy and adoptable animals are no longer euthanized, and both domestic animals and wildlife are treated with compassion and respect.

Every youth should have a positive, safe place to be when they’re not in school. For parents who are working the hours right after school can be challenging to fill. That’s why the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County opens its doors every day from 3 to 7; so that any school-aged youth, especially those who need it most, can have a safe, positive place to be. A small membership fee and scholarships ensure that the Club is accessible to everyone. Every day at the Club youth are able to get help with their homework, participate in physical activities, express themselves creatively and participate in leadership programs. All year our Clubs are there. That’s why we believe great futures start here.
