HAPPY TAILS

“WHENEVER THERE IS SORROW,
HAPPINESS WILL PREVAIL”

With Atherton Kennels & Shelter opening over 30 yrs. ago by my grandfather, I grew up with the opportunity to spend a lot of time at the kennels, seeing the sorrow and looking forward to the happiness.
In 1997 my husband and I took possession of the shelter with plans to continue what my grandparents had started.

 

To run an exceptionally clean and friendly animal shelter for Malheur County, Ontario, Nyssa and Vale, Oregon as well as the City of Payette, Idaho. Along with the many animals that come through the doors of our animal shelter from those areas, we also receive a large portion of animals from all the surrounding areas in the Treasure Valley. We certainly have days where we see one sad animal case after another. Dogs abandoned, abused, intentionally or accidentally injured, and dumped in yards or along the roads, this list never ends.
At Atherton Kennels & Animal Shelter our hearts are with the animals. We know and are aware of the sad realities, we see them daily.
However, with the days of sadness, we have also been lucky enough to enjoy the happiness that comes with the many animals that we have found new and wonderful, loving homes for.

If you have adopted a pet from our shelter since 1997 and would like to share your story on Happy Tails,
