West Valley Shelter Programs
West Valley Humane Society tries to offer as many shelter programs as possible with its limited budget. These programs are designed to benefit our community through public outreach, education, low-cost services, and need-based initiatives.
Check out some of our programs below:
Spay the Mama
Spay the Mama is a great way to assist our community with unplanned litters in their home. This program gives the community member all of the supplies to care for their litter like: food, formula, vaccines, dewormer, and other medical care and spays the mama and neuters the father free of charge to the owner.
Education Program
West Valley Humane Society launched its Education Program in the Fall of 2018 and has plans to expand over the next five years. Through this program, the shelter does outreach in schools, libraries, museums, and other community spaces.
The topics covered through the Education Program are varied and can be adjusted to meet the needs of your classroom, event, space, or needs.

The shelter has multiple programs to serve the cats of Canyon County. Due to the severe overpopulation of cats and kittens in our community, our programs focus on providing safe, humane, live outcomes for cats entering the shelter- friendly and feral.
