We also receive animals from all of the other surrounding counties and towns. They come to us from the Treasure Valley, Oregon and Idaho. We have found new homes for dogs as far away as New York, and have had dogs brought to us from owners as far away as Colorado.

At the present time we are only able to accept dogs..

Our Kennels and Shelter are located on 2.8 acres of private land in Malheur County.
Atherton Kennels & Shelter is family owned and operated by Michael and Jana Laughlin since the spring of 1997.

Jana is the granddaughter of the original owners, James (Jim) and Marcella Atherton.

Together my husband and I are striving to continue a strong family tradition of loving and caring for the animals placed in our care. We are Oregon State inspected and licensed Shelter and take pride in maintaining the highest level of cleanliness and sanitation.

Our main goal at Atherton Kennels and Animal Shelter is to place our animals back into their original homes, whenever possible. If that doesn’t happen then we work hard to place them with new loving and caring families.
In the following pages we will strive to assist in that process.
  • There is a Lost Owners Page,
    A brief description of lost dog and animals on hold at our animal shelter hoping their owners will reclaim them.
  • We have a Lost & Found Dog Page,
    This is a place for individuals, who have contacted us to list lost dogs they have either lost or found, so that others can view the list as well.
  • Finally, Our Happy Pet Tails,
    Happy stories of pets that have been adopted from Atherton Kennels and Animal Shelter into loving and caring new homes, or pets that have been reclaimed by their original owners.

WITH HELP THE PET ADOPTION GOAL WILL BE REALIZED
