What To Do With A Stray


What do I do if I find a stray dog or cat?

KHS has a contract with the City of Coeur d’Alene and the City of Rathdrum to take in their stray dogs.  These dogs have 5 days to be claimed by their owners. On the 6th day the dogs become the property of KHS and we will adopt them out. 

KHS does not have a contract with Kootenai County. Therefore, all animals roaming at large in Kootenai County are taken to the Post Falls Animal Control Facility. KHS is not animal control.  If you have a question about animal control, please contact one of the following agencies:

  • Kootenai County 208-446-1300
  • Coeur d'Alene 208-769-2320
  • Post Falls 208-773-3517
  • Rathdrum 208-687-0711
