To set up a meet and greet, please fill out a dog adoption application ASAP or if you have already submitted one with us, call/email to put your name in line. We will form a line like usual based on who has an active and approved application in. We will slowly go through our line to set up a private meet and greet for potential adopters to foster.

Dimples, male, 8 years old, Border Collie mix
Dimples was surrendered to the Idaho Falls Animal Shelter with his siblings after his mom was in and out of jail. Don’t be fooled by his age, Dimples is plenty spunky and loves to play with others. He loves to give snuggles and could probably use a little bit of a diet ;). Dimples seems to like other dogs and all humans we have introduced him to this far. We will continue to learn more about him!
Please note, Animal Adoption Center cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have no history prior to them entering the rescue. We make every effort to ensure the dogs are healthy.

Please know that our intention is to insure long lasting committed homes for the animals at the AAC. If we feel that an animal and a potential owner are not a good fit we reserve the right to refuse adoption.


This is an incredible dog. He has so much life in him - even though we have only known each other for a week, every day he surprises me by showing up more and more. He is settling in.

He is lovable and loves to be patted. He rolls over for tummy rubs without being asked!

He is energetic! He loves to run (even on leash) as long you are willing. Fetch is a good game (indoors) and he mostly gives the ball back with a “drop it” command.
He loves tug-o-war!
We walk four times a day, 45 minutes each - as fast as I can walk!

He is curious…
He likes company without being all up in your business - as if he’s watching out for me. I don’t sense anxiety, just a desire for connection.

Dimples, Buddy, is social towards humans and animals. So far, most have kept their distance, frustrating, but an occasional dog off leash is greeted with manners.

He wants to chase deer and squirrels but follows the command “hold it”, unwillingly. His instinct is strong as is his physical strength. Not so sure about moose. He is curious, but we turn around and will leave that exploration for another time!

He eats well…kibble…at 8 and 5. 1 cup each time.

Puppies, up in his face and being puppy-like, are not appreciated. That said, he has a 9 month old walking friend and their walks are fine together. I think he prefers being around calmer dogs - just my guess. I have not seen him actually play with another dog because of the isolation and leash rules I’m following.

He is good and patient with children.

He does not beg for food or hang out underfoot in the kitchen. Curious, yes, pushy, no.

Buddy has barked twice: at a moose who was walking away from us (!) and when there was a knock on the front door. It did not last - seemed more like a warning signal.

We’re working on patience as I lock the door, unlock the door re walks - he seems to respond to “move back” and waits till I’m in the house before barging in. He’s patient when I clean his muddy paws.

He likes to go to the bank because even at the drive through (we are on foot) he knows the teller will pass out a treat!!
Quick learner !!
