Who we are
The Idaho Humane Society is the largest and oldest animal welfare organization and veterinary charity in the state. Our public veterinary medical center is a full service, affordable veterinary hospital that is open to the public 7 days a week.

Working at our practice might look a little different than your typical private practice, but that’s what helps us make a difference in the community we serve. Our clinic sees both appointments and walk-in urgent care cases.
