Who We Are
About Us
Welcome to West Valley Humane Society, located in Caldwell, Idaho. Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of animals and our community. We’re dedicated to providing safe and secure temporary housing, medical care, food, and nutritional support, as well as enrichment, exercise, and behavioral modification for strayed, lost, and homeless pets.
Our History
West Valley Humane Society’s journey began in 2011 when it was established after the privatization of the Canyon County Animal Shelter. This transformation led to the birth of a charitable nonprofit entity focused on animal welfare. Since then, we’ve been tirelessly serving thousands of animals in Canyon County and surrounding areas each year.
West Valley Humane Society is an open admission shelter for canines in Canyon County and limited admission for other species.
Pets, A Lifetime Commitment
Since our inception in 2011, we’ve cared for tens of thousands of domestic animals, ranging from dogs and cats to chickens and pigs. We’ve made a lasting impact on the lives of these animals, advocating for responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.
At WVHS, we firmly believe that a pet is a lifelong commitment. Our philosophy guides our work, emphasizing the importance of lifelong care and responsibility for the animals we serve.
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to reunite animals with their families and pave the way for the next generation through public outreach, promoting the human-animal bond, community engagement, and humane education. We envision becoming a model of excellence in advancing animal welfare and encouraging responsible pet ownership.
Our Board
Our board of directors provides strategic leadership, financial oversight, and governance to ensure the shelter operates efficiently and sustainably. By fostering partnerships, securing funding, and guiding long-term planning, the board plays a crucial role in advancing our mission to provide every animal with a safe, loving home.
